After growing up and attending schools here, one needs to explore other opportunities, educate themselves about the wider world, and learn about other places, cultures and ways of doing things.
Then, when they return because they love Lake County and want to raise their own children here, they have a perspective and commitment that is unique to a local “kid” who returns intentionally.
Supervisor Jessica Pyska is one of those locals who chose to return to Lake County and has spent the last many years working tirelessly to improve our lives and community.
Supervisor Pyska has used her education, experience and competence to implement many innovative and effective programs and services to benefit the variety of people and interests in our county.
She has shown a deep understanding of the challenges we face and has worked full time to bring in substantial resources and funds to address these challenges.
Whether it is wildfire prevention, growing our economy, disaster preparedness, or ensuring safe communities, Supervisor Pyska has been on the forefront to find and implement solutions.
She is skilled at bringing different constituencies together and working with them toward the best solutions for the community.
Supervisor Pyska is a perfect example of a locally-raised person who has chosen to put her many skills into leadership for the betterment of all Lake County.
We need her to continue with her work on our behalf. I wholeheartedly support her re-election, and hope that others agree and will vote for her too.
Kathy Windrem lives in Kelseyville, California.

After a thoughtful consideration of each of the candidates’ skills and knowledge of Lake County, the specific districts, and what each candidate would bring to the position, the committee recommended a slate of endorsements to the board of directors of the Lake County Association of Realtors, which now endorses these candidates: John Hess for supervisor of District 1; Brad Rasmussen for supervisor of District 4; and Jessica Pyska for supervisor of District 5.
The committee thanks all of the candidates who took the time to answer our written questions and come in to talk to us in person.

For those who don’t know, cultivated meat is grown from animal cells, without slaughter. China has invested heavily in the nascent industry.
The publication suggested efforts such as those of Florida’s legislature to ban the new protein would strengthen China’s position.
Instead of standing in the way of progress, American politicians should be leading it.
Cultivated meat faces a number of technological hurdles. Perhaps the most important of these is that it is currently too expensive to mass produce. This can be overcome with increased federal funding for cultivated-meat research.
Politicians who care about the national interest should help advance cellular agriculture.

Since her election, she has demonstrated a dedicated commitment to the community at large.
She energized the recovery of the devastating wildfires that affected all of Lake County. Her leadership and continued support of all Lake County residents has exceeded expectations.
Jessica understands that as an elected supervisor, she represents all the citizens of Lake County, not just the Fifth District.
She has become an effective advocate for Lake County by developing strong and effective relationships with elected officials at regional and statewide levels.
Jessica goes beyond the "40 hour work week" to meet with constituents to better understand their needs and concerns. She is a true public servant.
Why would we not want to have her continue on a path that has resulted in so many positive outcomes for Lake County? Why change now?
Jessica has earned and deserves another four years working for Lake County. Please take the time to visit her website at wwwSupervisorJessica Pyska.com and see why so many of our neighbors have endorsed Jessica Pyska. She will continue to do good for all of Lake County.
Vote to reelect Jessica Pyska on March 5.
We see no reason to change.
