I am a retired businessman, who owned/operated gas stations, car washes and Subway restaurants in Sonoma County for over 20 years and raised my family and coached in the Middletown area of Lake County.

I retired and sold my business in my late 40s but after about a year, I had a strong desire to return to the workforce.

I searched carefully for employment where I could use my many years of experience and skills. The Assessor-Recorder’s Office was the perfect fit.

Rich Ford is the elected assessor-recorder, he has proven to be an outstanding leader who has created a great work environment centered on honesty, training, growth and development.

Rich has what this county needs for continued growth, development and improvement.

Rich Ford is the right choice for Lake County assessor-recorder.
