Benicia elects its city councilmembers and school board members in off year elections. In June Supervisor Linda Seifert was re-elected to the Solano County Board of Supervisors.
Measure Q, a $348 million bond measure that will help modernize Solano College is the only countywide measure on the ballot. Measure Q will need 55 percent of the vote in order to pass.
The Measure Q campaign has sent out mailers while opponents, the Central Solano Citizen/Taxpayer Group has run a relatively quiet campaign.

Though I have had enough of all the political ranting and raving tonight, I feel the need to say something, so here is my two cents. The presidential campaigns alone cost upward of 5.8 billion dollars, yet the balance of power in the white house, the senate, and the house are the same tonight as were this morning, and the same as they have been for the last four years. We are faced with the same issues and the same partisan opinions that have kept real change at bey. The only difference is that 5.8 BILLION dollars was spent, and is not going to schools, healthcare, the creation of jobs, or anything that will aid the common citizen. So I have news for my friends on both sides of the political fence...No matter who your candidate was WE all lost, and if we don't come together as a nation with each person taking responsibility to model the change that they want to create, and do the difficult work it will take to bring about that change, we will all continue to lose. Have a great night!
