The school bonds in Bishop, Independence, and Lone Pine all passed. Steve Elia and Karen Keehn prevailed on the BUSD school board.

For three open seats on the Bishop City Council, incumbents Karren Kong and Mayor Jose Garcia are leading, each with over 500 votes. Dennis Freundt appears poised to take the third seat, having earned 488 votes.

In state-level decisions, several key measures passed:

  • Proposition 35 was passed, making permanent a health care tax to fund Medi-Cal.

  • Proposition 36 also passed, increasing penalties for certain theft and drug-related crimes, with a focus on fentanyl trafficking and abuse.
