Three San Luis Obispo County Supervisorial races decided in June 7 election.

County could get new Fourth District Supervisor.

The San Luis Obispo County Board of Supervisors could have a slightly new look as a result of the June primary election.

Second District Supervisor Bruce Gibson kept his seat, defeating three challengers with about 53% of the vote.

In the Third District, Dawn-Ortiz Legg outdistanced two challengers, getting 65% of the vote to keep her seat.

But, there is apparently going to be a change in the county’s Fourth District. Jimmy Paulding received 58% of the vote, to outdistance incumbent Lynn Compton.
