A New Voice for the Board of Supervisors

Dear Friend,
We made the November run-off in the supervisor’s race! Although we were outspent four to one by Don Horsley and in a primary field of five candidates, our grassroots strategy of going directly to the voters paid off. Now I face the challenge of raising the money to win in November.
Our campaign budget for the November run-off is $114,000. I need your help.
My opponent, Don Horsley, has already gone negative, as in an article in the Examiner.
He will continue to deride my background as a small business owner and try to puff up his “experience. “
When you look at Don Horsley’s experience, the results are disastrous.
• When Don was Sheriff, his budget increased 100% in ten years, from #30 to $60 million.
• Don has promised county workers that no one would be let go, even with a $150 illion dollar a year deficit in the county
budget.
• He’s already proposed a new county tax and guaranteed its passage, apparently not caring that voters have turneddown four
such taxes already.
Don Horsley’s experience is precisely what we don’t need now! Don will be financially backed by special interests who lavishly funded his primary run, such as DMB, the developers of Cargill’s city in a salt pond, and others who have no interest in a sustainable future or making the hard decisions necessary to correct our county’s financial mess.
With your generous support, this is our chance to have a new voice on the Board of Supervisors.
Sincerely,
April Vargas
