Matsui holds narrow lead over Vang in Sacramento congressional race in new poll

Rep. Doris Matsui, D-Sacramento, holds a narrow lead over progressive challenger Mai Vang in the final hours before the election in Sacramento’s closely watched congressional race, according to a new independent poll. The poll, conducted by the USC Democracy and Fair Elections Lab and first shared with The Sacramento Bee, found that Matsui led Vang 41% to 36% among 442 likely voters in the 7th Congressional District . Another 16% of voters surveyed last week remained undecided. Matsui’s lead is within the poll’s margin of error, leaving the race too close to call. “Slight edge to Matsui here, but tied in some ways statistically,” said Christian Grose, director of the USC Democracy and Fair Elections Lab, who led the poll. The results offer the first in-depth look at voter sentiment in the contentious intraparty and generational battle for the 7th District, which includes downtown Sacramento and stretches from Lodi to parts of El Dorado County. Political experts have predicted the race will be close and could take weeks to determine a winner. The findings point to an advantage for Matsui among undecided voters. When undecided likely voters were pressed to choose a candidate, Matsui’s lead grew to 49% to 39%

How long after the election can political campaign signs remain up in California?

Election Day is here, heralded for months by the political signs that popped up on lawns across California. Some voters might not know the state has laws governing the placement of campaign signs. Cities also may have their own laws on political sign placement. What should you know? What are the rules on campaign signs? According to section 15.148.600 of the Sacramento City Code, owners of property in residential areas can put up temporary signs so long as the combined sign area does not exceed 10 feet. However, temporary signs cannot be displayed for more than 180 days in a year. Different cities have different rules, however. For example, Roseville allows up to 128 square feet of signage on properties, but only 90 days before and up to 10 days after an election. The rest of the year, the limit is 6 square feet . Where can signs be placed? There are special rules for temporary political signs placed within 660 feet or visible from highways and certain freeways. To install political signs visible from or located 660 feet from state highways, candidates, campaign workers, or supporters must have filled out a Statement of Responsibility form and submitted it to

Is Measure M a ballot stink bomb? Here is The Sacramento Bee's recommendation

The Sacramento City Unified School District is asking voters to approve Measure M, a $95-a-year parcel tax for special education and early intervention. The Bee Editorial Board recommends a “No” vote, citing the district’s fiscal instability and lack of a concrete spending plan. FULL STORY: Sacramento City Unified’s fiscal failures make Measure M a ballot stink bomb | Opinion Here are key takeaways: A budget swing that should alarm every parcel owner In June, Sacramento City Unified School District approved a budget projecting a $228.9 million deficit by the end of the 2026-27 school year. Three months later, in September, the district revised that projection to a $162,000 surplus for the same period. That is a $229 million turnaround in a single quarter — and the state’s fiscal watchdog is not buying it. As The Bee’s Chaewon Chung reported , “Michael Fine, CEO of the state-funded Fiscal Crisis and Management Assistance Team, described the district’s projection as ‘absurd,’ saying it did not meet California school-district budgeting standards and pointing to what he called unreasonable assumptions about future funding.” Fine said, “no other district in the state that would count that.” When FCMAT — the agency California created specifically to vet
