Candidate for
County Supervisor; Sonoma County; Supervisorial District 5

What sets me apart from other candidates? Thirty-eight years of living in the 5th District, and experience as an environmental advocate, as a County Planning Commissioner, a local small business owner, and a mother.

I've made a difference. I know it takes leadership, cooperation, judgment, stamina + and the ability to take political heat.

As your Supervisor: I will continue to fight for a county-wide water budget that conserves our water resources and stops increased exports until we have enough clean water for our own use.

I will continue to fight for comprehensive local health care systems ensuring that all who need care + mental or physical + are able to receive it.

I will continue to fight for a 60% greenhouse gas reduction by 2030. I will make clean energy and green practices a priority for Sonoma County.

I will continue to fight to create affordable housing, protect and restore the Russian River, promote local sustainable agriculture, fight for local jobs, and preserve parks and forestlands.

Organizations that endorse me (Conservation Action, Housing Advocacy Group), know my values and accomplishments. They know I'll be a leader for the 5th District. And they know I'll always listen. www.ruefurch.com
