While the Republican and Democratic Parties both have their presidential nominees situated for the November election, there is still plenty on the ballot this Tuesday, as part of the primary election.
Voters in Stanislaus County will be voting on Measure T, a continuance of the 1/8 percent sales tax to fund local libraries, as well as voting to determine the District 5 Supervisor, which is presently a race between current Supervisor Jim DeMartini and Ceres resident Daniel Padilla.
The 10th Congressional District race will also be on the Tuesday ballot, featuring candidates Rep. Jeff Denham (R), Jose Hernandez (D), Michael Barkely (D), Troy McComak (I), and Chad Condit (I).
