Measure J on Orland's ballots, the ambulance, streets, parks, recreation and library services tax measure, also passed with 1,257 votes with 590 opposed, so Orland's sales tax rate will increase by 1⁄2 cent on the dollar to 8.5 percent.

Of three measures to change the offices of Treasurer and City Clerk from elected to appointed in the City of Tehama, Corning and Red Bluff, the only voters to pass their measure was in the City of Tehama, with both Red Bluff and Corning falling short.

ON THE DISTRICT/STATE LEVEL

Glenn County overwhelmingly voted to put candidate Donald J. Trump in the Whitehouse as did Tehama County voters. Pretty much, both counties were consistent in following the republican ticket voting predominantly for U.S. Senate candidate Steve Garvey (R), who lost on the state level to incumbent Adam Schiff (D); incumbent U.S. Representative 1st District Doug LaMalfa retained his seat both for Glenn and Tehama voters but also on the district level.

Candidates for State Senator 1st District were Megan Dahle and David Fennell, both republicans, with Dahle winning on the local and district level.

Incumbent State Assemblyman 3rd District James Gallagher, (R), retained his seat with garnishing more than triple the votes of his challenger, Aaron Draper (D).
