5 incumbents, zero challengers

Sorry to pile on to your existential dread but we’re aghast that the SLO Co election front is more of the same ol, same ol. 5 incumbents are unlikely to face opposition in June, including Sheriff Parkinson and DA Dow. There is still time for competition to get in the mix but it’s more complicated than things with your ex…AKA it’s messy. It’s a result of a bigger systemic problem so it’s you’re feeling frustrated, channel that rage into supporting candidates for a different office, volunteering with Race Matters SLO, and learning more about DA candidates for 2026.
