Runoffs in District 3 Supervisor, Treasurer races
No candidate in the District 3 Supervisor race received the necessary 50% + 1 votes required to win the election, so there will be a runoff between Don Horsley and April Vargas in November.
The race is now an uphill climb for Vargas. Horsley has a 14.4 percentage point lead on Vargas, and the other candidates in the race are closer politically to Horsley than to Vargas. At the same time, hotly contested races for Governor and Senator mean that the turnout will be larger and more diverse in the general election than in the primary.

Don Horsley | 23,980 | 38.6% |
April Vargas | 15,069 | 24.2% |

Matt Grocott | 8,757 | 14.1% |
Michael G. Stogner | 4,243 | 6.8% |
