Matt Basgall, a Clovis City Council incumbent, has reversed course and will seek re-election for District 4, setting up a showdown with fellow Councilmember Diane Pearce. The shift follows Clovis’ move from at-large to district-based elections, forcing two incumbents—Basgall and Pearce—to compete in the same northeast district. Basgall cited improved personal and family circumstances for his decision, while Pearce welcomed the democratic choice voters now have. 

In court, prosecutors revealed text messages and Google searches linking the teen suspects in Caleb Quick’s killing to the incident. Digital evidence shows they searched “how long does it take for Tesla footage to delete” after the shooting. Timeline data from their phones and surveillance video suggest premeditated planning and presence at Willow Station and McDonald’s before, during, and after the fatal incident. 

Virginia has joined the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact, agreeing to award its presidential electors to the national popular vote winner, not just its state winner. With Virginia’s 13 electoral votes, the compact now controls 222 of the 270 votes needed to activate it. The compact takes effect only once enough states join, and legal challenges are expected as it aims to bypass the Electoral College.
