As a county supervisor, public safety has always been — and continues to be — a top priority of mine. There are countless officers on the front lines doing impactful work every day of the year. I appreciate and admire our law enforcement partners’ compassion, dedication, and determination to keep our communities safe. You have my full and unwavering support.”
