Certified results: Amber Manfree, Liz Alessio, Belia Ramos claim victory to make first all-woman Napa County Board of Supervisors

It’s official: Napa County has elected its first-ever all-woman Board of Supervisors.

Final certified results for the March 5 presidential primary election were posted Tuesday afternoon and no results shifted for local races.

The final results tallied 114 more ballots — 37,771 total — than last week’s results.

That means Amber Manfree, Liz Alessio and incumbent Belia Ramos have been elected to the Napa County Board of Supervisors — only the second all-woman county board in the state behind Los Angeles County.

It also means a $9 million school bond for the Howell Mountain Elementary School District has failed, and two measures to increase tax spending limits — in Yountville and the Lake Berryessa Improvement District — have succeeded.

None of the local results showed a change throughout the ballot counting period, which has been ongoing since election night, March 5. That’s despite adding on more than 23,000 more ballots to the initial count.

The county tallied a 45.2% turnout for the race in the final count, which is lower than prior years but exceeds the statewide average, according to Napa County Registrar of Voters John Tuteur.

Tuteur noted in a press release that the procedures that produced the official report included a “manual tally of several thousand ballots from randomly chosen precincts to confirm the accuracy of the machine tabulation.”
