Oct. 12—The battle for the San Joaquin County Board of Supervisors District 4 seat has come down to two small business owners with the same first name.

Woodbridge Crossing owner Steve Ding and American Convention owner Steve Colangelo earned the top two positions in the June 7 primary, edging out Lodi City Councilman Doug Kuehne.
