Newbury ParkParvin, Gorell likely retain county supervisor seats
Election Night brought some certainty to Ventura County’s Board of Supervisors races, as incumbents Jeff Gorell (District 2) and Janice Parvin (District 4) both jumped out to early leads that held strong through Wednesday morning. According to the Thousand Oaks Acorn (Newbury Park), each candidate secured more than 50% of the votes counted so far, with official results not expected until Thursday afternoon. For Newbury Park residents, that means continued representation from leaders who already know our local roads, schools, and business corridors. While it’s still early — and the county won’t update results until 4 p.m. Thursday — the trend suggests voters are comfortable with the direction these incumbents have taken. Parvin’s District 4 covers much of our area, including Newbury Park, so this race hits close to home. Whether you voted for them or not, stable leadership on the board helps keep our community projects moving forward without disruption.
Newbury ParkIrwin, Klein Lopez lead field in key June 2 primaries
The Thousand Oaks Acorn reports that in the June 2 primary, local favorites held strong. In the 42nd Assembly District race, Deborah Klein Lopez took an early lead, while Jacqui Irwin surged ahead for California’s 26th Congressional District. For Ventura County’s 2nd Supervisorial District, Jeff Gorell also showed a commanding advantage. These results reflect the community’s clear preferences and set the stage for the general election. For Newbury Park residents, these races directly impact local representation on issues like housing, transportation, and public safety. The strong showing by incumbents and familiar names suggests voters are prioritizing experience and continuity. As final counts come in, these leads signal that the Central Coast’s voice in Sacramento and Washington will remain steady.
Newbury ParkMeet the ‘Anonymous Mommy’ who forced the superintendent’s hand
If you’ve been following the drama around Ventura County Superintendent César Morales’s unapproved $16,000 stipend, you might be surprised to learn it was a local Newbury Park mom who first raised the red flag. Dubbed the ‘Anonymous Mommy’ by the Thousand Oaks Acorn, she filed a public records request that uncovered the payment — and ultimately forced Morales to publicly acknowledge the error. For Newbury Park families, this story hits close to home. Our kids’ education is shaped by decisions made at the VCOE level, and this incident raises real questions about transparency and oversight. It’s a reminder that one engaged parent can hold powerful officials accountable — and that local journalism like the Acorn is here to make sure we all get the full picture.
