CA: Months after his death, county supervisor candidate poised to win

Source: SFGate

“A candidate for a county supervisor seat in Northern California, who died in August after falling while door-knocking, is on the brink of winning the race. Bruce Giudici, who was a 68-year-old Valley Springs resident running for the District 5 seat on the Calaveras County Board of Supervisors, has received 2,002 votes, or 57.09%, whereas opponent Clyde Clapp has received 1,505 votes, or 42.91%, as of Tuesday. (Election results for the county are updated every Tuesday and Friday.) Although the election won’t be officially certified until next month, Roberta Corso, a spokesperson for Giudici’s campaign, told SFGATE that only ‘a small handful’ of votes in the county, about 300, have not been counted. If Giudici wins, the seat will be vacant, and the next supervisor will be appointed by California Gov.-elect Xavier Becerra.” (11/14/26)
