RIVER VALLEY AREA, CA (MPG) - River Valley residents will see only two local contests on their March 5 primary ballots as most of the action will be taking place at the state and federal levels.

Heath Flora, a Republican, is seeking reelection to the 9th Assembly District. The Sacramento Bee has endorsed him because of his willingness to work across the aisle. He is being challenged by Tami Nobriga, a member of the American Independent Party.

Three are vying to replace Sue Frost as the Sacramento County Supervisor for the 4th District. Frost has endorsed Rosario Rodriguez, a restaurant owner and Folsom City councilwoman. Bret C. Daniels is a retired sheriff’s deputy and a Citrus Heights city council member. Braden Murphy describes himself as a father who was born with cerebral palsy. His endorsements include the Folsom Area Democratic Club.

Although all Rancho Murieta, Sloughhouse, and Wilton residents are receiving mail-in ballots for the March 5 primary election, they will have the option to vote in person or to drop off their ballots. The county’s vote center locations will be open from Saturday, March 2 to Tuesday, March 5, Election Day. The hours are 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. except for Election Day when hours will extend from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. The Rancho Murieta Vote Center is at the CSD Building, 15160 Jackson Road. The Wilton Vote Center is at the Wilton Community Center, 9717 Colony Road.

The Rancho Murieta box is outside the CSD Building. The Wilton location is at the Wilton Garage, 11050 Wilton Road.
