Meet the Candidates

For the first time after four previous elections, Susan Peters’ name will not appear on the ballot due to her decision not to seek re-election for the Sacramento County Board of Supervisors. As a result, five candidates have filed to run for the Third Supervisorial District in the March nonpartisan primary election.
District 3 includes the unincorporated areas of Arden-Arcade, Carmichael, Fair Oaks, Foothill Farms and North Highlands, as well as Campus Commons in the city of Sacramento.

If one candidate captures 50 percent of the votes plus one, that individual will be the winner. Otherwise, there will be a runoff in the November general election between the top two vote-getters from the primary election.

Inside Sacramento contacted each of the candidates after the filing period ended and asked them to provide information about themselves and their candidacies. As a public service, following are the responses from those candidates who replied by our deadline.

I love it when Sacramento City Council members criticize my work. It means they care.

One of my favorite councilmen, Jeff Harris, took exception to a column about the city’s partnership with the Sacramento Republic, the local sports club ready to leap into Major League Soccer.

The Big Dig planned in Pocket and Greenhaven by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers will intimidate residents. The Corps and its contractors are chopping down trees, cutting deep into the Sacramento River levee and building an underground wall to hold back floodwaters. Hundreds of trucks will haul dirt through local neighborhoods. Traffic will snarl. Tempers will boil.

But help is here. The volunteers who comprise the Pocket Greenhaven Community Association are determined to make the levee repair project easy to understand and navigate. They are planning a community forum where questions can be answered and facts provided.
