Brian Pacheco holds election night lead against GOP candidate in Assembly District 27

Fresno County Supervisor Brian Pacheco held a large lead late on election night in the race for California’s Assembly District 27, currently held by Esmeralda Soria. Returns showed more than 64,000 votes had been counted as of 11:39 p.m. in the race to represent the district, which covers west Fresno County and large parts of Madera and Merced counties. Pacheco, a Democrat, held about 63.1% of the expected vote while Republican Mike Murphy, a business attorney and former Merced mayor, held 36.9% of the expected vote. The gap between the two candidates had changed little since the night’s initial returns. Pacheco told The Fresno Bee late on Tuesday night that he felt confident about the results thus far and is “honored that voters have chosen me.” “I am going to Sacramento to fight for the Valley,” he said in a phone call. “I am taking the same can-do attitude I’ve had as a (county) supervisor up to Sacramento.” Earlier in the night, Murphy told The Bee his team “worked super hard from beginning to end,” but added that the current results “certainly aren’t where we want them to be.” “I don’t have any intention of prolonging it,” he said. “Once

Where a Juvenile Hall Once Stood, Area 1 Candidates Make Their Case

On October 10, I went to Farber Educational Campus with a recorder in my handbag and a bit of election season cynicism. Many election forums can seem similar. This location is far from typical. Farber, Fresno Unified’s roughly $65 million alternative education campus, sits on the former Fresno County Juvenile Hall, which closed in 2006 and was torn down in 2019. Walking in, I felt that this space had not yet completely forgotten its past. Somewhere under the brand-new paint and career pathway banners this old land still seemed to be listening, wondering what the grownups would say about kids now. On the other hand, I also saw a monument to progress. Ever since I was a teenager, I have advocated against the school-to-prison pipeline, and this was a visceral representation of my goals, especially since the demolition lined up with my own senior year of high school.
