AtascaderoState, federal incumbents come out ahead in primary
As the dust settles from June 2's primary election, early returns show incumbents holding strong across the Central Coast, including in our own backyard. In the 30th Assembly District, which covers parts of Monterey, San Luis Obispo, and Santa Barbara counties, Democrat Dawn Addis has pulled ahead with more than 37,000 votes counted as of June 3. For Atascadero residents, this means familiar faces are likely to remain in Sacramento, shaping policies that affect everything from local water rights to education funding. For those of us in Atascadero, these results are a snapshot of where our region stands politically. While final tallies are still coming in, the early lead for incumbents suggests a vote of confidence from Central Coast communities. New Times SLO (Atascadero) reports that the trend mirrors statewide patterns, but here locally, it's a reminder that our voices in the 30th District carry weight. Keep an eye on certified results in the coming weeks—they'll determine who represents us on key issues like housing and wildfire prevention.
AtascaderoLos Osos park funding measure has more no votes than yes
The early numbers are in, and it looks like Los Osos voters are saying no—for now—to a proposed parcel tax that would have helped buy a local school property for a community park. According to the SLO County Clerk-Recorder’s Office, with counts released around 1 a.m. on June 3, the measure was trailing with 1,197 no votes against 1,097 yes votes. This isn't the final word, but it's a tough start for a proposal that aimed to turn a school site into green space for the community. For folks in Los Osos, this measure was about more than just a park—it was about preserving open space in a growing area. The parcel tax would have been a direct ask of property owners, and the close margin shows just how divided the community is on how to fund these kinds of projects. New Times SLO (Atascadero) first reported the early results, and we'll be watching as more ballots are counted. Whether or not the measure ultimately passes, this vote is a clear signal that residents care deeply about how their tax dollars are spent and what kind of future they want for their town.
AtascaderoCano leads Clerk-Recorder race in early returns
The race for San Luis Obispo County Clerk-Recorder is off to a decisive start, with incumbent Elaina Cano holding a commanding lead in early returns. According to unofficial results shared by New Times SLO (Atascadero), Cano has captured 61 percent of the vote with about 20 percent of ballots counted. Challengers Vanessa Rozo and Gaea Powell trail behind at 27 percent and 12 percent, respectively. For Atascadero residents, this race matters because the Clerk-Recorder oversees elections, marriage licenses, and property records — services many of us rely on. With more ballots still to be tallied, the final picture may shift, but Cano’s strong early showing suggests voters are comfortable with her leadership. We’ll keep you posted as the count continues.
