Incumbents lead In race for council

Shafter City Council incumbents appeared to be re-elected in early results from Tuesday’s election.

With more than half the ballots counted, Gilbert Alvarado, Pete Espinoza and Mayor Chad Givens were leading in the race for a four-year term on the council.

A bond issue for Wasco schools seemed on its way to approval, too.
