In the three seat race for Humboldt County Board of Supervisors the final results of total vote in the June 5, 2012 election were as follows:
District #1:Rex Bohn won easily with 67%, while Cheryl Seidner trailed with 29 percent, and Annette De Modenafinished with 7%.
District #2:Estelle Fennel won with 53% of the vote to incumbant Clif Clendenen's 47%
District #3:Incumbant Mark Lovelace claimed victory with 67% of the final vote to Karen Brooks' 32%.
The three victorious candidates in the Supervisor's election all won outright, avoiding runoff elections in November. Rex Bohn was seated prematurally when Jimmy Smith resigned early because of illness (click here to see that story). Estelle Fennel will be seated in January and Mark Lovelace will be re-seated to serve another 4-year term.
