Amador County voters just wrapped up their primary election choices on June 2, and two supervisor districts are now in the spotlight. If you’re not closely tracking local races, here’s what matters: the county’s looking to fill seats in districts 3 and 5, and depending on how the votes landed, we might see these races head straight to November or get decided right here in the primary.
In District 3, Jeff Brown and Nathan Moeller went head-to-head for the nomination. Over in District 5, Brian David Oneto and Jamie Lubenko competed for the other open seat. Under California’s primary system, if one candidate doesn’t rack up an outright majority—meaning more than half the total votes cast—the top two vote-getters advance to the general election in November for a final showdown.
Why does this matter for folks in the region? County supervisors shape everything from land-use decisions to budget priorities, so these races touch real issues that affect how Amador County develops and governs itself. A majority win tonight means the race is essentially over; a tight result means Amador voters get another chance to weigh in this fall. Either way, the county’s leadership direction got a little clearer on June 2.
Results posted after polls closed at 8 p.m., so if you’re tracking the outcomes, the data’s already live. This is local government at its most fundamental—and it’s worth paying attention to who’s stepping up to lead.
