King City, South County Voters Face Nov. 3 Election with School District Reorganization
Voters in King City and southern Monterey County will decide city council seats, school board positions, Hartnell Community College District trustee races, and Measure J on Tuesday, Nov. 3. Measure J proposes dissolving three existing school districts—King City Union, Greenfield Union, and South Monterey County Joint Union High School District—and replacing them with two unified K-12 districts serving the King City and Greenfield areas. In King City, newcomer Jonas Lalehzadeh challenges incumbent Oscar Avalos for City Council District 1, while Mayor Mike LeBarre runs unopposed in District 2. Hartnell College trustee races in Areas 6 and 7 feature open seats as incumbents Cesar Iracheta and Candi DePauw are not seeking reelection.
