Election Results
Vacaville’s mayor race is too close to call—Roy Stockton is barely ahead of Sarah Chapman with thousands of ballots still left to count. Two new councilmembers are also likely, so the next council could look very different. If you care about local decisions on housing, roads, and taxes, this is the election to watch.
County Supervisor Election
Vacaville Councilmember Mike Silva is leading Mayor John Carli in the county supervisor race, 55% to 45% with early votes counted. Because this seat covers most of Vacaville, the winner will represent residents on county decisions about roads, housing, and public health.
Mayoral Election
Vacaville's mayoral race is basically a coin flip right now — Roy Stockton is up about a point on Sarah Chapman after trailing early, and there are still piles of ballots left to count. Whoever wins steers city policy for years, so this one's worth watching.
Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure
Vacaville is leveling up its EV game with new solar-powered charging stations that work off-grid. This means more convenient charging for electric car owners and a greener way to power up.
Official Conduct
Vacaville's Vice Mayor Greg Ritchie is facing some tough questions about his conduct. This could shake up city leadership and how things are run.
