Illegal dumping complaints have fallen dramatically over the past three years in San Joaquin County, but there’s still too much junk strewn around vacant lots, gullies and roadsides that needs to be picked up and hauled away.

That was the conclusion of officials appearing before the county Board of Supervisors this week to monitor progress of the “Three E’s” plan.

The county’s Illegal Dumping Task Force, formed in 2022, developed its Education, Enforcement and Eradication plan. The efforts bring together the Administrator’s Office, Public Works, the Sheriff’s Office, Community Development and the District Attorney’s Office to support the county’s illegal dumping ordinance.

Though his district now includes downtown, many Stocktonians still may not know much about U.S. Rep. Adam Gray.

By contrast, his opponent in the Nov. 3 general election is virtually a household name after years in Stockton politics: former Mayor Kevin Lincoln.

The race for congressional District 13 pits the two veteran politicians, both of whom raise some of the same issues while offering widely different solutions.

Gray, a Democrat, barely squeaked by to unseat U.S. Rep. John Duarte, a Republican, two years ago by the narrowest of margins — 187 votes out of 210,921 ballots cast. He’s a former state assemblymember.

Meanwhile, Lincoln, a Republican and former Marine, ran unsuccessfully in 2024 against U.S. Rep. Josh Harder in the 9th District, which includes most of Stockton. Lincoln had initially planned a rematch against Harder, but after district lines were redrawn thanks to Proposition 50, he decided to change districts.
