Election day is finally here as local residents decide on City Council races in Benicia and Vallejo, as well as positions on the Vallejo City Unified School District board as well as the Benicia school board.

Vallejo City Council incumbents Pippin Dew, Katy Miessner, along with Jess Malgapo are all seeking re-election to the seven-person City Council.

All three were elected in 2013. On that same ballot, Vallejo residents approved an amendment to the city’s charter moving the council elections from odd to even years.
