St. Helena voters have until Tuesday, Nov. 8, to vote in local races for mayor, City Council and District 3 on the Napa County Board of Supervisors.
Vice Mayor Paul Dohring and City Councilmember Eric Hall are running for mayor to replace Geoff Ellsworth, who is not running for re-election.
Dohring is at the end of his term, so if he loses the mayoral race he will be off the council. Hall has two years left on his term, so if he loses the mayoral race he will remain on the council. If Hall is elected mayor, the council can choose to appoint someone or hold a special election to fill Hall’s council seat.
Amy Beaudine, Billy Summers and incumbent Anna Chouteau are competing for two council seats.
Yountville Mayor John Dunbar and Napa County Planning Commissioner Anne Cottrell of St. Helena are running for the county’s District 3 supervisor seat. They were the top two vote-getters during a six-way primary election in June.
