Tahoe City Utility Board: Scoville and Pang Lead Two-Seat Vote

TAHOE CITY, Placer County — November 4, 2026. Gail Scoville and John Pang lead Matthew Plunkett in the early count for two Tahoe City Public Utility District director seats.

Candidate counts

Gail Scoville: 709; John Pang: 674; Matthew Plunkett: 409 in the Placer County report. Pang’s reported margin over Plunkett is 265 candidate selections.

Why these results matter

Utility districts govern specific community services and are not town councils. The source is the Placer County precinct report; readers should not assume it includes returns from any other county where applicable. The two leading positions are provisional until certification.

Counting status

The source is the Placer County Elections election-night semi-official report, printed at 12:16 a.m. Pacific on November 4, 2026. All assigned election-night precincts are shown as reported, but further eligible ballots may be processed before the county certifies its returns. These figures should not be presented as a new November 5 count, and a reported leading candidate has not necessarily won the final election.
