Senior Legislature Election Set May 5

Registered voters 60 and older can vote May 5 for three candidates for the 1998-2000 session of the California Senior Legislature.

Fourteen poll sites will be open 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. throughout Ventura County.

The three candidates vying for the senior senator seat are Larry A. Curtis, Muriel Steiger and Robert Warnagieris, all of Ventura.

Candidates running for the two Senior Assembly seats include Jesse Dunlap and Percy Silver of Camarillo; Charles Sallia of Thousand Oaks, Thomas Stafford of Oak View and Frederick Zielsdorf of Ventura.

The Ventura County Area Agency on Aging is conducting the election, with cooperation from participating cities.
