The election results are in and we received 47.6 percent of the votes!

Thank you, voters, and thank you to the other candidates who worked hard and ran strong, clean campaigns.

I appreciate everyone who supported and volunteered to help make this campaign such a success. The confidence that you have shown in my ability to be the next District 5 supervisor rings loud and clear, and I am excited to be heading into the run-off with such a strong lead and a broad coalition of support.

We are facing difficult days as we maneuver through this global pandemic, but Lake County is showing once again how we rise to meet the challenge. I am so proud of the proactive measures our leadership has taken, and we can see how their swift action has slowed the spread in our community and given our systems the valuable time needed to prepare for what is likely coming.

As I stay home with my family doing my part to "flatten the curve,” my community work continues remotely. Preparation for the coming fire season, building resiliency within communities, and strategizing our economic long-term recovery, which will test us in entirely new ways, remain my top priorities.

The campaign will pivot to comply with all safety measures and we will be exploring exciting new ways to connect with District 5 residents.
