Notable quotes:
“Being ‘in politics’ wasn’t something I’d ever dreamed of doing before I became supervisor. But in this position, I’ve been able to help people and I want to continue that work for another term. We will remain innovative and meet goals that benefit the community at large, but it is just as rewarding to work on the small things with neighbors. Sometimes people just need help navigating the county system to get the right services.” (Source: The Union)

“Now more than ever, we need to ensure our county is fiscally sound and that we protect our core services no matter what happens to the economy.” (Source: YubaNet)
