Shasta County District 2 Supervisor race

In the District 2 race, Allen Long maintained his consistent lead over the other three candidates with a final count of 50.13 percent, enough to avoid a November runoff.

Shasta County District 3 Supervisor race

However, in the District 3 Shasta County Supervisor race, incumbent District 3 Supervisor Mary Rickert’s final count of 40.29 percent did not reach the 50% plus-one vote requirement to win outright, and skip the November election. So Rickert will face off in the fall General Election against Corkey Harmon, who secured 32.22 percent in this last update.

The most sweeping, resounding Shasta County Supervisor election win went to challenger Matt Plummer in the District 4 race against incumbent Patrick Jones. In fact, Jones lost two votes since the last update, whild Plummer gained four votes, ending with 59.71 to Jones’ 40.29 percent.
