Mendocino County Ca Elections

A Mendocino County supervisor has won reelection by a single vote out of more than 8,000 cast, election officials said. Liz Henry took a 24-vote lead over challenger Heather Drum on Election Day, but the final count of absentee ballots reduced Henry's margin to one, County Clerk Marsha A. Young said Tuesday. "Luckily, I voted for myself," Henry said. The final tally in the rural, mill-town district that includes Ft. Bragg was 3,938 votes for Henry and 3,937 for Drum.

A lawyer who served a federal prison term for failing to pay taxes has been elected Mendocino County district attorney. Norman Vroman scored a 52%-48% upset victory over Susan Massini, one of Mendocino County's longest-serving district attorneys. She is president-elect of the California District Attorneys Assn. "I'm very gratified in the trust and confidence that the voters of Mendocino County have given me," Vroman said Wednesday.

Here is the Mendocino County district attorney's race boiled down to its extremely odd essence: On your right is incumbent Susan Massini, a conservative Republican pushing for a fourth term, who has been accused of bungling the highest-profile cases of her 12-year tenure, from the slaying of a sheriff's deputy to the prosecution of union activists. On your not-quite left is challenger Norman L. Vroman, a Libertarian who spent nine months in federal prison for failing to file tax returns.
