Their challengers were dentist Navid Fardanesh and real estate broker Rob Rosales. Out of 3,928 registered Templeton voters, 1,621 — 41.3 percent — voted on Tuesday.

“I will listen, share ideas and opinions, study the issue”s and always be prepared,” Petersen said prior to the election. “Be professional, and demonstrate by example a strong work ethic.”

“I believe the future will require Templeton to have greater involvement with the San Luis Obispo Board of Supervisors, the planning commission and county staff as Templeton balances the needs of the community and utilizes the resources available to our community. I would like to be part of this process and help guide TCSD’s future,” Pelfrey said before the election. “I want to give back to my community and to preserve the nature and meaning of historic Templeton.”
