Four in race to become Contra Costa County’s first new District 5 supe in a quarter century

Federal Glover has represented Contra Costa County’s District 5 on the Board of Supervisors for the entire 21^st century so far, but he is retiring and an election next month could decide his replacement.

The former Pittsburg mayor became the board’s first and only African American supervisor when he was elected in 2000. He is currently serving out his last year as board chair — his fifth stint heading up the board.
