MIDDLETOWN, Calif. – District 1 Supervisor Moke Simon said he plans to seek a second term on the Lake County Board of Supervisors.
Last week, the Lake County Registrar of Voters Office reported that Simon’s name was on the list of those who had filed to run for local offices, as Lake County News has reported.
Simon is being challenged by Julia Mary Bono, a businesswoman, minister and scientist.
“It has been a privilege to serve my first term as District 1 supervisor, and thanks to the work of so many, our efforts have brought us to a pivotal point in fire recovery, protection of Clear Lake and our remarkable environment, supporting and expanding housing opportunities, and partnering with communities, agriculture and the private sector to determine the economic direction and future of our region,” Simon said.
“In addition to acting on my pledge to be accessible to the people of District 1 by creating regular local office hours, attending community meetings and events, and coaching high school football, I am proud to be the governor’s appointee to the State Board of Fire Services – the only county supervisor out of California’s 58 counties to serve on the board. I also now advocate for District 1 and county interests as a member of numerous state and regional commissions and organizations,” he said.
Simon added, “As supervisor, my focus will always be on serving local interests and strengthening our sense of community. It is our common welfare that energizes and motivates me to seek re-election – and to pledge a lifetime of service to the people of District 1 and the county. I ask for your support as we work together to realize our enormous potential.
