Election 2011: Off Year Election, Limited Controversy

Voting begins at 7 a.m. tomorrow, Nov. 8, and runs until 8 p.m. There are no national issues being decided, and a single local issue occupies the Sonoma ballot.

The lone Sonoma Valley issue up for vote is two seats on the board.

Two incumbants – Bob Mclean and Frederick Unsworth – are vying against Dan Weber, a retired electrician, for the two board seats.

The District's 40 volunteer firefighters staff two stations, and respond to medical calls and highway accidents, in addition to fighting residential, commercial and wild fires.
