What voters are deciding

This contest determines representation on a community college governing board. Trustees oversee district policy and public resources. The seat designation is important because a college district can cover several communities, and its boundaries do not necessarily follow a single city’s limits.

These are unofficial returns from the November 3 general election. Additional valid ballots and canvass review can change the totals or ranking. In multi-seat contests, candidate selections are not the number of individual voters. For any district extending into another county, compare the other county’s return before drawing a districtwide conclusion.
