Solano Sheriff, District 4 Supervisor Appear To Hold Onto Seats

SOLANO COUNTY, CA — Solano County Sheriff Thomas Ferrara and District 4 Supervisor John Vasquez appear to have fended off challengers to hold onto their seats in Tuesday's election, according to unofficial election results. Ferrara, appointed as sheriff in 2012 and then elected to his first full term in 2014, defeated Dan Marshall and Daryl Snedeker, getting more than 52 percent of the vote with roughly 84 percent of precincts reporting as of early Wednesday morning.

Nearly 26 percent of voters picked Marshall, a Fairfield police lieutenant, and 21 percent chose for Snedeker, a longtime sheriff's deputy with the county.

Vasquez got about 54 percent of the vote in his bid for re-election as supervisor of District 4, which includes Vacaville, Dixon and other northern parts of Solano County.

His competitors for the seat were Dixon City Councilman Devon Minnema, former county employee Deborah Lazaro and land steward Susan Eleanor Macmakin, who received 22, 14 and 9 percent of the vote, respectively.
