North County civil rights groups are asking the Oceanside City Council to “revisit” last week’s appointment of real estate agent and drug-and-alcohol counselor Kori Jensen to the District 1 seat formerly held by Mayor Esther Sanchez.
“A multitude of discrepancies and unanswered questions” about Jensen’s residency, background and experience in the district have left people wondering whether her appointment “was an error or intentional fraud,” states a news release jointly issued by the Oceanside Justice Coalition, the North San Diego County NAACP, the North County LGBTQ Resource Center, and Oceanside Sanctuary Pastor Jason Coker.
“To set things right, the district seat should go to a candidate who understands the pulse of its district and is deeply connected with the communities whose voices have been missing for too long in city government decision-making,” the release states.

Resident raises more questions about Vacaville elections
FAIRFIELD A former candidate for the Vacaville City Council said the District 5 results could be in question due to how ballots were distributed for the Nov. 3 election.
Amber Robitaille, who ran for the District 3 seat, told Solano County supervisors Tuesday that she believes as many as 78 voters received the wrong ballots, which could affect an outcome in which the two candidates were separated by 73 votes.
Jason Roberts defeated Sherie Mahlberg with 3,668 votes to 3,595 votes, according to the certified election results.
Robitaille’s comments came during a report from the Registrar of Voters Office on some election mapping and ballot concerns she raised at previous board meetings – largely focused on District 3.
Submitted to the Minden Press-Herald by Candidate Mandi Hart for Publication
Today, a mom of triplets in Minden, Louisiana, filed papers to run for a city council opening with the intention of improving the quality of life for not just her children but all children in the community. Mandi Sills Hart (Independent), the only woman in the race, announced her candidacy live from the Webster Parish Courthouse.
The current seat was vacated by former Councilman Herbert Taylor (D) in March of 2020, after resigning from his seat.
Mrs. Hart, originally from West Monroe, LA, chose to call Minden home in 2008 after marrying life-long resident, Donny Hart, son of Don and Betty Hart. The couple have 10 year old triplets who attend E.S. Richardson Elementary. Mrs. Hart is running for the open council position to help make Minden better for her children.
New London Discussion on expanding the number of voting districts has resurfaced as the result of a disappointing voter turnout in the presidential election here.
New London’s 55% voter turnout was sharply below the state’s record 79%. Surrounding towns saw even higher numbers than the state average, buoyed in part by the fact that absentee ballots were made available to all voters because of the COVID-19 pandemic. There were 16,996 registered voters in the city during the last election.
City Councilor James Burke broached the subject of expansion of voting districts during an hourlong election debriefing with officials from the Registrar of Voters Office on Monday.
