Cambria Community Services District: Scott and Hinrichsen Lead Two-Seat Contest

CAMBRIA — November 4, 2026. Debra Scott and Keith Hinrichsen hold the top two positions in Cambria Community Services District’s director election, according to regional radio coverage of the November 4 results.

What the early count shows

KPRL identified Scott and Hinrichsen as the two leading candidates. A separate results compilation, The Ballot Book, updated at 1:55 a.m. November 4, lists Debra Scott 1,178 (37.6%), Keith Hinrichsen 935 (29.9%), Dennis Dudzik 527 (16.8%), and Michael Wolfe 491 (15.7%) candidate selections. Hinrichsen’s reported advantage over the third-place candidate is 408 selections. These figures are dated and unofficial.

How to interpret the vote

Cambria is an unincorporated coastal community, and the elected community services district is a local public agency rather than a city council. Two positions are available. Because the count is preliminary, the order could change once the county counts the remaining eligible ballots.

Additional tally: The Ballot Book, San Luis Obispo County, November 4 at 1:55 a.m.

Next official result

This article refers to the county’s fourth unofficial election-night update, approximately 1:47 a.m. November 4. More eligible ballots remained to be counted. All outcomes and quoted totals are preliminary until the San Luis Obispo County Clerk-Recorder completes the canvass and certifies the vote. Refer to the county’s official election results page for any later figures.
