Nipomo CSD: Glover, Standring and Eby Lead Four-Candidate Director Race

NIPOMO, SAN LUIS OBISPO COUNTY — November 4, 2026. Four candidates for Nipomo Community Services District director are ranked relatively closely in the first unofficial county reporting.

Preliminary vote

The election data report Tom Glover 1,323 candidate votes (29.3%), Lois Standring 1,241 (27.4%), Ed Eby 1,163 (25.7%), and D. Russell “Rusty” Hobbs 796 (17.6%).

What the numbers mean

The figures show current ranking but are not a certified declaration of which candidates fill available seats. This is a community services district election, not a municipal council race. The final canvass may change the results.
