The incumbent Mendocino County Sheriff Matthew Kendall has won his bid for re-election when the filing deadline passed on Friday without a candidate to challenge him. Kendall was appointed mid-term when former Sheriff Tom Allman retired in 2019 and never won an election. The next time voters have the opportunity to weigh in on his office will be in 2026. District Attorney David Eyster, who was voted into office in 2010 is running unopposed again this year, making this his fourth term in office. Mendocino County’s clerk, assessor, recorder, and elections administrator Katrina Bartolomie, is also running unopposed, this will be her second term in office. Acting Auditor-Controller Chamise Cubbison is running unopposed for the newly created office of Auditor-Controller\Treasurer-Tax collector. Cubbison was recommended as a successor by outgoing Auditor-Controller Lloyd Weer in August when he retired mid-term.
