Marin’s most important election in decades approaches its final hours. The stakes could not be higher, particularly in the supervisor races.
I’m voting for Kevin Haroff and supporting Susan Kirsch and Al Dugan in this pivotal election.
Our incumbents are hopelessly complicit in the push to urbanize Marin, while denying its impact on traffic, environment, and loss of our small town way of life. They are captive to the developer and construction interests, and allied trade unions, that fill their campaign coffers.
Huge donations from public employee unions compromise the incumbent and Establishment candidates’ willingness to prioritize OUR financial interests. This is the root cause of Marin’s unaffordability and will ultimately end in fiscal calamity and huge taxes.
Here in my district, Supervisor Katie Rice accepted over $90,000 in campaign donations this year alone. Much of this was in large chunks from the above special interests. She even took a $2000 contribution from Washington, D.C., where the teamsters are apparently interested in influencing our supervisors’ votes on labor negotiations.
As OUR public servants, our supervisors should refuse contributions such as these. They don’t.
They should recuse from voting on the matters benefitting their special interest patrons. They don’t.
The only solution: they should be removed and replaced.
Supervisor candidates Haroff, Kirsch, and Dugan’s campaigns are funded entirely by regular folks like us. They commit to represent US.
To protect Marin’s environment, character, and affordability – and OUR right to representation -- vote for Haroff, Kirsch and Dugan.
