The Richardson Bay Sanitary District board has three seats on the Nov. 3 ballot, and four people are running for them.
The candidates
- Mark Fitzgerald, incumbent
- Peter McIntosh, incumbent
- Patrick Walravens, incumbent
- John Turnacliff, equipment financing executive
Those occupations come from the Marin County Elections Department's candidate list. The Ark, the Tiburon Peninsula's newspaper, described the contest as three incumbents facing a single challenger.
How it works
Voters can choose up to three candidates. The three with the most votes take the seats. With three incumbents and three seats, the only way the board changes is if Turnacliff finishes ahead of at least one incumbent.

How to vote
