Replay of That's Life with Tamra Pica and TECH (May 2025)

 

 

Today on That's Life:  talking tech with Tamra Pica.

Tamra and Lois talk about tech every Thursday evening on the video show "The Rundown" with David Paskin and others.  To hear THAT, go to TheRundown.show and follow the link.  

But that's then and this is now. 

Tamra Pica agreed to be on Lois' radio show to talk about non-tech things; but we slipped and fell into tech talk as well.  **Sigh.**

So here is the first hour of our chatting together.  (There may be more later!)  

Enjoy!

Davisville, Sept. 7, 2026: Four of the latest five Davis City Council races have each had just one candidate

Davis has a City Council election this fall — sort of. There is a city election in November, with two seats open on the five-person council, but with just one candidate for each seat, the winners are already decided.

Uncontested elections are also occurring in other districts, in Yolo County and beyond. Why is this happening, does it affect governance, and what does it mean, if anything, to the candidates who take office when no one is running against them?

We talk about this today on Davisville with the two people who, barring something unexpected, will start 4-year terms on the Davis council in December after running uncontested this fall: Gloria Partida, current vice mayor, former mayor and council member since 2018, who will start her third term on the council; and Judy Ennis, who will be the district 1 council member, and is new to the council. General approval of the candidates who ran might be a factor. So might Davis' switch to district elections, and the anger aimed at public figures. There are probably other reasons too.

Whatever the causes, the outcome is that starting in December, Linda Deos will be the only Davis City Council member who faced an opponent in her latest election. She won a three-person race two years ago.
