Aside from launching a runoff race between District 4 Supervisor Candidates Dennis Rodoni and Dominic Grossi, Tuesday’s primary election saw several county, state and federal incumbents regain their offices, the approval of a nine-county parcel tax for San Francisco Bay restoration projects and a second tight runoff race for county judge. In a contentious and crowded nine-candidate race for a judge seat on the Marin County Superior Court, county public defender and former Inverness resident Michael Coffino enjoyed a razor-thin edge of less than one percent over deputy county counsel Sheila Lichtblau, by a 10,000 to 9,683 margin. Like the supervisor contest, the race between Mr. Coffino and Ms. Lichtblau to succeed retiring Judge Fay D’Opal will conclude with a runoff on Nov. 8. Elsewhere across the county and the state, incumbent supervisors Katie Rice and Kate Sears both won additional four-year terms, while incumbent state Assemblyman Marc Levine won another two-year term. For federal offices, state Attorney General Kamala Harris clinched her bid for United States Senate in a landslide victory, while incumbent United States Representative Jared Huffman secured a second two-year term. Rep. Huffman has played a pivotal role in negotiations to transfer the United States Coast Guard facility in Point Reyes Station to Marin County, which in turn has pledged to sell the property to the Community Land Trust Association of West Marin to preserve the facility’s 36 units as affordable housing. Voters approved state Measure AA to levy a $12 annual parcel tax to raise $25 million a year for 20 years for restoration projects in the San Francisco Bay. Though some opponents have suggested local taxpayers should not have to subsidize projects that would not directly benefit West Marin, others have noted restoration work would provide indirect benefits by creating buffers against rising sea levels. With 57.45 percent of the vote, Marin voters signaled their support for Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton over Bernie Sanders, by a count of 27,238 to 19,848. Presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump garnered 6,409 votes.
