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

E-bikes, e-scooters will be banned in one-tenth of Folsom parks. Here's when

E-bikes and other electric alternative modes of transportation will soon not be allowed in one-tenth of Folsom’s parks. And certain “reckless” behaviors, such as performing wheelies, will face an up-to $500 fine. The Folsom City Council approved an ordinance Tuesday that establishes new rules for “e-conveyances,” a broad category that included e-bikes, e-scooters, motorized bicycles, electric motorcycles — also called e-motos — and other electrically powered devices. This was the second reading of the ordinance, which has not changed since it was officially proposed in October . Thirty days following the council’s approval, riders will not be able to carry passengers on devices without a proper seat, swerve around traffic or perform “stunt and trick riding” such as wheelies or “acrobatic” tricks. The devices will also be banned from playgrounds and sports courts and fields, but would still be allowed on paved paths in parks under a reduced speed limit of 10 mph. Folsom has more than 50 miles of Class I paved trails — multiuse, off-street paths — some of which are within parks. Bike paths not in parks will have a speed limit of 15 mph. Motorized bicycles, which fall under the same definition as “moped” in the

Upscale Mexican eatery is coming to Elk Grove's historic Railroad Street

A popular, upscale Mexican restaurant known for its live music is replacing a barbecue spot in Elk Grove. Rosa Madera is launching its second location in the Sacramento area at 9700 Railroad St. in Old Town Elk Grove. The site is taking over Horn Barbecue, which closed in February after nine months in business. Rosa Madera is originally from Orange County, with its flagship location in Santa Ana. The franchise came to Sacramento’s Valley Hi / North Laguna neighborhood at 7521 W. Stockton Blvd. in 2024. The restaurant’s most popular dishes include its enchiladas, carne asada street tacos, and its Los Favoritios plate, which is filled with birria chimichangas, al pastor nachos, and flautas de tinga, deep-fried corn tortillas with Mexican meat in a tomato-chipotle sauce. Its cocktail menu has just as much kick and flavor as its dishes, serving beverages like a sweet Mangoñeada, coconut margarita and spicy tamarindo. The restaurant has live entertainment, with a mariachi band performing on Thursdays, Fridays and Sundays, as well as a live DJ, according to the restaurant’s social media. Rosa Madera did not respond to an interview request from The Sacramento Bee. An exact opening date has not been announced. The location
