Primary primer

Homing in on the local contests and a tax measure

The March 3 election is a biggie, especially because this is a presidential election year and voters will choose the candidate they believe is best suited to take on President Trump.

But for the CN&R’s primary issue, our focus is on what’s happening in our backyard: You’ll be introduced to the six candidates vying for three open Board of Supervisors seats, get a look at a special district’s proposed parcel tax to improve community parks and recreation, and learn how and why Butte County’s clerk-recorder transitioned to an all-mail election.

Our hope is that the stories therein help you understand what’s on the ballot, so that you will make informed decisions. For certain races and measures, you’ll also find the CN&R’s endorsements on the Opinion page.
