Angela Curro represents District 4 on the San Benito County Board of Directors, serving residents in South County, southeast Hollister, Tres Pinos, Ridgemark and Paicines. She won her seat in the June 2022 primary, getting 52 percent in a three-way race with candidates Tony Avilla and Elia Salinas.
Curro’s long career in local government includes stints with the elections departments in two counties (Santa Clara and San Francisco) before she became a project engineer, working on Gilroy Gardens and affordable housing projects. In 2011 she took a job with San Benito County as the assistant county clerk-recorder-registrar of voters, which she held until taking early retirement in 2020.
Her focus on public safety and law enforcement garnered her key endorsements from the Hollister Firefighters Association and San Benito County Deputy Sheriffs Association. She also received support from former supervisors Bob Tiffany and Mark Medina. After her win, Curro told BenitoLink that her top priorities are to address failing infrastructure and to ensure retainment of qualified county employees.
Notable quote: “The board’s continuous challenge is generating new revenue sources. The real question is, how can we bring deputy staffing levels not only up to prior years but to the level we need now? It is all about being proactive, by working with our community to bring more local/commercial businesses, which will boost our tax base. Also, we need to continuously work with the state and federal government to ensure we are not missing out on any resources or grant assistance.” (Source: BenitoLink)
From Benito Link...
At its Jan. 11 meeting, the San Benito County Board of Supervisors took its first steps in adapting to the changes brought by Measure A, the initiative which reshaped the county’s land use decision-making process. The board unanimously approved modifying the county’s General Plan and determined that developers would pay for Measure A-related elections.
San Benito County is deeply concerned about recent allegations involving the County's Agricultural Commissioner and a local farmer. These allegations allege a serious breach of public trust, including accusations of a relationship that may have influenced the allocation of grants and equipment.
The California Fair Political Practices Commission is investigating a local political organization for allegedly violating campaign reporting laws by masquerading as a local affiliate of the Democratic Party. The complaint was filed in October and the FPPC began its investigation in December.
A petition circulated by Hollister Guardians Action to rescind the 2040 Hollister General Plan appears to have obtained enough signatures to be considered by the Hollister City Council. The San Benito County Elections Office notified the city of Hollister that it predicts 2,902 of the signatures collected by the local activist group are valid.
