Experience counts! Virginia Bass has demonstrated an ability to secure broad-based support for many economic and social programs as Fourth District supervisor.

Her accomplishments and experience have been recognized by the California State Association of Counties (CSAC), where she currently serves at first vice president. CSAC is the preeminent state organization for advocacy of public policy in California. It is comprised of elected supervisors from all 58 California counties. For 2019, Virginia has been selected to assume the presidency of CSAC. Along with that position comes access to the highest levels of state government — up to and including the office of the governor of California. It would be the first time since the 1940s that a Humboldt County supervisor would be CSAC president!

Virginia will represent all interests to state officials. At this time in our local history, we must take advantage of this opportunity. Vote Virginia Bass for Fourth District supervisor.
