Republican Hoover concedes Sacramento-area Assembly seat to Democratic challenger

Assemblymember Josh Hoover, R-Folsom, on Tuesday conceded to his Democratic challenger Amy Slavensky in the race for a Sacramento County statehouse seat. Hoover had declined to concede Friday after Slavensky declared victory for the 7th Assembly District. His concession came after Sacramento County released its latest vote totals. Slavensky had 53.2% of the vote as of Tuesday afternoon. “I just called my opponent to congratulate her on her victory,” Hoover said on X. “While there are still many ballots left to count, our team no longer sees a viable path to closing the gap like we did when we flipped this seat in 2022.” Hoover said it has been the “honor of a lifetime” to serve the area in district — which includes Folsom, Fair Oaks and Rancho Cordova — in the Assembly. The seat was one Democrats were eager to wrestle back. Slavensky will be part of what is expected to be a widening Democratic supermajority in the Legislature. She has worked 40 years in California public schools as a teacher, principal and superintendent, according to her campaign website. She said her campaign knocked on over 16,700 doors, engaged 400 volunteers and sent 150,000 texts. “I thank the hundreds

Mediterranean food truck owner opens restaurant in Sacramento-area shopping plaza

A Mediterranean and Middle Eastern food truck serving authentic shawarma and gyros has opened its first restaurant in Sacramento’s Arden Fair. Jeeroz Shawarma and Grill, 1735 Arden Way, opened in Arden Fair’s Market Square retail center on Sunday, Nov. 8. The food truck, known as Jeeroz Mediterranean Cuisine, has served the Sacramento area for three years. The Mediterranean restaurant operates inside an 2,400-square-foot restaurant space. Market Square at Arden Fair is anchored by Barnes & Noble. The food is all halal, meaning its meat preparation is aligned with Muslim dietary beliefs. Jeeroz specializes in wraps and plates served with a side of fries. Its most popular dishes are its chicken shawarma, chicken gyro and falafel wrap, according to Yelp. The Jeeroz food truck has been spotted in front of the CALPERS building on 400 Q St. in downtown Sacramento and at local events. In the fall, it appeared at the Folsom Mosque, Elk Grove’s Diversity Festival, and the Rocklin Community Farmers Market, according to its food truck schedule. The new brick and mortar location is the site of the former Dos Coyotes Border Cafe, which reopened in Market Square in 2022 after a temporary closure during the COVID-19 pandemic. Jeeroz

After student's father detained, Sac City Unified presses city for ICE alerts

Sacramento City Unified School District leaders said Tuesday the father of an Earl Warren Elementary student was detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement the day before, a few blocks from the school. At a news conference, board members urged Sacramento police to alert the district when verified ICE activity occurs near schools. The call came as the district pressed for better coordination after ICE agents in late October were spotted near Ethel Phillips Elementary, causing concern among students and families during after school pickup. “We can prepare for what happens on our campuses. Unfortunately, we cannot control what happens on the streets surrounding them,” school board member Jasjit Singh said Tuesday. “We need timely, credible information. We need direct radio communication between our school safety team and the police department, and we need city sanctuary policies that place students and families at the forefront and are centered around how to prepare and how to respond.” According to Singh, the district learned about the detention through the school, after the principal was informed that the student’s father had been detained. The detention took place near the 65th Street, by St. Mary Cemetery, Singh said. The detention came three days after

Popular Sacramento dim sum eatery launches brunch options for its Land Park location

Restaurateur Danni Kim wanted to try something different. Four years ago, Kim opened Hidden Dumpling House in Elk Grove, which, today, stands out for its gluten-free dishes. The business opened a number of locations across Sacramento and became a local favorite dim sum spot. But Kim was craving something new. She wanted to sink her teeth into a new adventure: to open an American-style brunch restaurant. “Nobody said a Chinese owner cannot do brunch,” Kim said. “It’s something I always wanted to do.” Kim has created The Morning After, a breakfast and brunch only menu at Hidden Dumpling House’s Land Park location at 3005 Freeport Blvd. The Morning After was originally a pop-up at the Land Park restaurant. It launched the brunch menu on Nov. 1 and Kim hired a whole new kitchen staff just for the venture. Each dish is focused on the highest and purest quality ingredients, Kim said. For example, the restaurant’s maple syrup is pure maple, rather than a corn syrup substitute. The Morning After’s menu is simple. There’s a traditional two-pancake breakfast, with butter and homemade berry compote, a side of fresh fruit and maple syrup. Other items include biscuits and gravy, chicken and waffles,
