Dear Editor
Trust and Accountability
As Mendocino County enters another election, we face a simple question: does the incumbent reflect our values, and is he accountable to the people he serves? Trust is earned through actions — listening, showing up, respecting public input, and protecting the services and neighborhoods that keep our communities strong.
Promises aren’t enough. Check the record:
Support local families—yet suggest selling Bower Park in Gualala.
Support veterans—yet move Veterans services out of their Ukiah building
Value public input—yet propose disbanding the six-county supported Municipal Advisory Councils.
Suggest fire prevention matters—yet neglect the local businesses that generate sales tax revenue that funds Measure P.
Value county employees—yet
Suspend Ms. Cubbison, an elected official, without due process and without pay
Offer employees $25k to leave the county work force
Combine the Auditor Controller Treasurer Tax Collector departments
Ignore four Grand Jury Reports that identify poor working conditions in Health and Human Services
Downsize essential County operations that directly impact tax collection, road maintenance, and permit processing.
Support workforce housing—yet allow outside and corporate takeover of available housing stock to create short-term rental empires.
The pattern is familiar: decisions without real dialogue, concerns answered at a distance, and communities told to accept less.
“What are you willing to give up for the services you desire?”
Absentee representation instead of face-to-face accountability.
Suggesting the county is headed towards bankruptcy or mirroring the financial challenges facing the City of Willits
Now you have a choice. Don’t reward contradictions. Do you feel confident in the incumbent’s leadership? Or, vote for leadership that shows up, listens, respects public input, and together we’ll bring a practical plan to protect county services and the quality of life in Mendocino County. Tell five friends to vote in the June 2nd primary election.
