A handful of local, elected offices will be contested on the June 7 ballot.

Matt Beauchamp, one of three candidates who last year applied to fill the job after District Attorney Cliff Newell announced his retirement, is running against incumbent Jesse Wilson. Wilson was chosen by supervisors to complete Newell’s time in office, and must run in June for a full term.

Assistant Clerk-Recorder/Registrar of Voters Natalie Adona, Paul Gilbert and Jason Tedder are running to replace Gregory Diaz as the county’s clerk-recorder/registrar of voters. Diaz has said he won’t seek reelection.



Sheriff Shannan Moon and Lori Steel have declared their candidacy for the county’s top law enforcement job.

The deadline for declaring for office was Friday, if the incumbent is running. It’s this coming Wednesday if the incumbent isn’t seeking reelection.
