Ventura County primary election results

It was a surprising night for local voters as the primary election results for Ventura County Superintendent of Schools took an unexpected turn. Incumbent Cesar Morales found himself trailing behind challengers Karen Sher and Maggie Marschner, with Sher leading the pack as of early Wednesday morning. For Oxnard families and educators, this race has major implications—the superintendent oversees programs that directly impact our local schools, from funding to curriculum support. Vida Newspaper broke the story, and it’s clear this election is far from over. With Sher and Marschner neck-and-neck, every vote in Oxnard could tip the scales. If you haven’t cast your ballot yet, make sure your voice is heard—this is a race that will shape education in our community for years to come.

Woman Held to Answer in Hit-and-Run on Pacific Coast Highway

A Bakersfield woman accused of fleeing the scene of a serious crash on Pacific Coast Highway has been held to answer on felony charges, according to the Ventura County District Attorney’s Office. Mysti Lee Ary, 49, faces allegations of leaving an accident that caused permanent, serious injury—a case that resonates deeply along our scenic but often dangerous stretch of PCH. Local residents know all too well how quickly a peaceful drive can turn tragic on these winding coastal roads. The incident, which occurred on June 15, 2025, reminds us of the importance of accountability and safety on our highways. Vida Newspaper first reported the outcome of the May 11, 2026 preliminary hearing. For Oxnard and the broader Central Coast community, this case underscores the ongoing need for vigilance and responsible driving along one of California’s most beloved—and hazardous—routes.

For us here in Oxnard, that means no more scrambling to find your polling place; you can vote at any center countywide, which is a real game-changer for busy weekdays. What I love about this setup is how it takes the pressure off. Whether you’re grabbing coffee on A Street or running errands near the Collection, you can swing by a center at your own pace. And with 42 more centers opening soon, there’s really no excuse to sit this one out. Our local elections shape everything from school funding to pothole repairs, so every voice matters. Grab a friend, make it a coffee run, and let’s show up for Oxnard.
