Nov. 6 Election: Who's In, Who's Out

For voters in Marin and throughout the U.S., this fall's Nov. 6 election has a ton of importance. But while this might be a blockbuster election for the White House, it's really kind of a letdown for fans of local politics after the June 5 primary.

The race for the Marin County Board of Supervisors District 4 seat has already been settled: Incumbent Steve Kinsey held off a challenge from Corte Madera Vice-Mayor Diane Furst.

But as the filing period opens today, July 16, there's still plenty to chew on locally and regionally. For one, there's the race to fill the big shoes of the retiring Rep. Lynn Woolsey and represent Marin and much of the North Bay in the 2nd District in U.S. Congress.

Over the next few weeks, we'll let you know as candidates file papers - the filing period ends Aug. 10.

Here's our start on the candidates and issues we'll be covering as November draws near. Bookmark this page for updates.
