I am running for County Supervisor because voters across the district have asked me to run. They are troubled by the decisions the Solano County BOS, especially Monica, are making such as dissolving the 1) Agricultural Advisory Board, 2) The Solano Partnership Against Violence (SPAV) which has been in existence for over 20 years and whose focus was to raise awareness of domestic violence/intimate partner, and violence against women, 3) Alcohol and Drug Advisory Board, the Historic Commissions Board and so forth. These actions are an assault on democracy and citizen involvement in governmental issues that affect their lives and to which they have a considerable amount of experience, expertise and interest.  I ran for the seat in 2020 because Monica broke her promise to not take a salary, she is not collaborative, inclusive, or effective. She cannot get things done because she is unable to build partnerships and collaborative relationships with others. She refuses to meet with people, doesn’t return calls or emails from her constituents, and is rude, abrasive, and dismissive. In the last 4 years, I have accomplished more as a citizen without all the power and resources of the County and role than Monica has been able with all the power and resources of the County. I led the development of the Status Report on Women and Girls, doing much of the research myself, and then gave dozens of presentations throughout the County on the findings to advocate for women and girls. I brought in over $1.5 million dollars to reduce wildfire risks in spite of the fact the County, under John Vasquez and Moncia’s direction, did everything they could to stop this effort. We have big unresolved issues, and the County isn’t going after the available grant funds to address those issues.  I represent the necessary leadership change to reverse this trend, and working cross-jurisdictionally to create a more promising future.
