萨克拉门托县监事第一选区决战11月3日：进步派 Cofer 对决建制派 Guerra
位于加州萨克拉门托县的县监事会第一选区决选将于11月3日举行，对阵双方是 Flojaune Cofer 与 Eric Guerra。现任县监事 Phil Serna 自2010年当选后一直担任该职，将于明年1月卸任，这是该选区近16年来首次由新人接替。第一选区约覆盖萨克拉门托市一半区域，包括 Natomas、Del Paso Heights、中萨克拉门托、East Sacramento、Oak Park 及部分 South Sacramento。两人同为民主党人，但县级选举在选票上不标注党派。
Cofer 现年43岁，是流行病学家，拥有 Spelman College 化学与女性研究学士学位，以及密歇根大学公共卫生硕士与流行病学博士学位，曾在加州公共卫生厅工作，并担任萨克拉门托市 Measure U 公民监督委员会主席。她得到萨克拉门托县民主党、Working Families Party、塞拉俱乐部分支、Los Rios 社区学院学区教师工会及加州民主党租客委员会等支持。她在2024年竞选市长时曾以一小个百分点之差落败。
今年春季，Cofer 因选票称谓被提起诉讼。萨克拉门托高等法院法官 Jennifer K. Rockwell 裁定，其原拟使用的医生称谓有误导之嫌，因为她并非执业医生，其选票称谓随后改为流行病学家、公共卫生。加州公平政治行为委员会（FPPC）也在调查一宗针对她的投诉，指她未在财务披露表中申报在 Sacramento State 客座讲课、担任专家证人及为加州社会服务厅从事政策工作的收入。
Guerra 现年47岁，任萨克拉门托市长代理人，自2015年起担任市议会第六区议员。他得到卸任县监事 Phil Serna、前州参议员 Deborah Ortiz、联邦众议员 Doris Matsui、萨克拉门托警察协会、建筑工会系统及县警长副手协会等支持。他曾任州长任命的加州州立大学董事会与加州空气资源委员会成员，并以11年市议会经验及跨市县协作履历竞选。据 IVN 报道，这场对决被视为在没有党派标签可依时，加州民主党内不同派系动员能力的一次检验。
Sacramento County District 1 Supervisor Race Heads to Nov. 3 Runoff: Progressive-Backed Cofer Faces Establishment Favorite Guerra
The runoff for District 1 of the Sacramento County Board of Supervisors in California will be held on November 3, between Flojaune Cofer and Eric Guerra. Incumbent Supervisor Phil Serna, first elected in 2010, is stepping down in January, making this the first open race for the seat in nearly 16 years. District 1 covers about half of the city of Sacramento, including Natomas, Del Paso Heights, Central Sacramento, East Sacramento, Oak Park and parts of South Sacramento. Both candidates are Democrats, but the county race is nonpartisan and no party label appears on the ballot.
Cofer, 43, is an epidemiologist with a bachelor's degree in chemistry and women's studies from Spelman College and a master's in public health and a doctorate in epidemiology from the University of Michigan. She has worked for the California Department of Public Health and chaired Sacramento's Measure U citizen oversight committee. She is backed by the Sacramento County Democratic Party, the Working Families Party, the Sierra Club, the Los Rios Community College District teachers' union and the California Democratic Renter's Council, among others. She came within about a percentage point of winning the mayor's race in 2024.
This spring, Cofer was sued over her ballot designation. Sacramento Superior Court Judge Jennifer K. Rockwell ruled that her planned designation of doctor was misleading because she is not a medical doctor, and her designation was changed to epidemiologist, public health. The California Fair Political Practices Commission is also investigating a complaint that she failed to report income on her financial disclosure form for guest lectures at Sacramento State, expert witness testimony and policy work for the California Department of Social Services.
Guerra, 47, is Sacramento's mayor pro tem and has represented City Council District 6 since 2015. He is backed by outgoing Supervisor Phil Serna, former state Senator Deborah Ortiz, U.S. Rep. Doris Matsui, the Sacramento Police Officers Association, building trades unions and the Sacramento County Deputy Sheriffs' Association, among others. He previously served as a governor's appointee on the CSU Board of Trustees and the California Air Resources Board, and is campaigning on 11 years of council experience and work across city and county jurisdictions. According to IVN, the race is seen as a test of which wing of California's Democratic Party can deliver votes when voters cannot fall back on a party label.
