The filing deadline for many local offices in Nevada County was today at 5:00 pm. If an incumbent didn’t file, the contests will close on Wednesday, August 17th.
As of this evening, it looks like both incumbents for NID Districts 1 and 2, Ricki Heck and Chris Bierwagen will have no opponents.
There’s still time to jump in the race for Grass Valley or Truckee council. In Grass Valley, current mayor Ben Aguilar is not seeking reelection and on the Truckee Town Council David Polivy is stepping back.
According to the Elections Office, these special districts also have incumbents declining to seek reelection and the filing deadline is extended until Wednesday: Higgins Area Fire Protection District, Lake of the Pines Ranchos Community Services District, Mystic Mine Road Community Services District, Nevada Joint Union High School District, Area 5, Peardale-Chicago Park Fire District, Pleasant Ridge Union School District, Rough and Ready Fire Protection District, Twin Ridges Elementary School District, short term, Union Hill Elementary School District and Western Gateway Recreation and Park District.
