With the June 2 Primary Election behind us, the campaign for the November 3 General Election is officially underway. The candidates have been chosen, and now the work begins.

This has always been a great time of year for Scott Silveira. The Merced County Spring Fair in Los Banos is just around the corner — April 29 to May 3. As a Los Banos native born into a family of farmers, he showed animals at the fair as a youngster studying agriculture. He later found his voice — and some quick math skills — as a fair livestock auctioneer. Then he was invited to serve on the Fair Board. And now as a county supervisor, he helps appoint others to a leadership
