Amador County - The official results of the November 4th election in Amador County are in. Registrar Sheldon Johnson certified the election last Wednesday, November 19th, and the Amador County Board of Supervisors set a special meeting for Wednesday, November 26th, to accept the canvassing of the election and to declare those who were elected to office. Elections Supervisor Debbie Smith said the special meeting was called because the Supervisors had already canceled the board meeting because of Thanksgiving. Unless the Board has some objection, the final tally solidifies the standing of the candidates. In the two closest city council races in Jackson and Plymouth, candidates won by a matter of votes. Marilyn Lewis beat out Alfred Nunes for the third available Jackson council seat by only 12 votes. The other two seats will go to Wayne Garibaldi with a landslide 1,259 votes and Keith Sweet with 859 votes. In Plymouth, incumbent Greg Baldwin held on to his seat and was the third highest vote-getter with 201 votes to challenger Maria Nunez’s 198. The other seats up for grabs will be held by incumbent Mayor Jon Colburn with 264 votes and Patricia Shackleton with 240 votes. Mary Walser, Wally Upper and Janelle Redkey are the winners for school board. Debbie Dunn, Bill Condrashoff, Don Cooper and Gary Thomas all won by large margins in the race for Amador Water District Directors. Only one current AWA member will remain on the Board.
