Humboldt Today with John Kennedy O'Connor

June Primary Elections Yakkin' With Hank Sims and Tom Wheeler

After months of training your brain to not register the garish yard signs screaming at you from every street corner, we’ve just about arrived at Election Day, thank goodness. Let this be over!

On Tuesday, Humboldt will head to the polls — if they haven’t already conveniently sent back the ballot they should’ve received in the mail, that is — to fulfill their civic duty by voting in the June primary. So, to get you primed for this blessed occasion, on today’s episode of Humboldt Holding Up we speak to Tom Wheeler, local political nerd and executive director of the Environmental Protection Information Center (EPIC), and Hank Sims, editor in chief of the Lost Coast Outpost (LoCO), about the various races we’re tasked with making decisions on this cycle. We’re talkin’ supervisor races! District Attorney! Yes, even Auditor-Controller! More! We lay out the stakes and then force Wheeler and Sims to give us their predictions. Believe it or not, this is fun for some people!
