Two incumbents face three challengers in Nov. 3 election
Five candidates, including two incumbents, have qualified for the Nov. 3 Sebastopol City Council election for two four-year seats. The filing deadline was Aug. 7 and not everyone who officially considered a candidacy by “pulling papers” finalized their applications.
Incumbents Neysa Hinton and Michael Carnacchi will face challengers Diana Rich, Evaristo “Evert” Fernandez and Vaughn Richard Higginbotham. Rich is a former executive director of the Sebastopol Community and Cultural Center. Higginbotham, a 2014 graduate of Analy High School, previously ran for city council in 2018. Fernandez is a financial advisor and currently serves on the city’s Planning Commission.
