Good morning, Stockton.
👋 Hi, readers.
This evening, I’ll attend state Sen. Susan Talamantes Eggman’s final “Community Open House” event at the Haggin Museum, where she will share her experiences from the last twelve years representing the region. The event is open to the public, so I hope to see you there.
Also coming up this week, we’ll share coverage of the candidates running in the mayor’s race, followed by profiles of each City Council district race. Stay tuned.
See today’s top stories below.
If you haven’t responded to our voter survey yet, please take a moment to do so now.
As always, I look forward to your feedback.
