.Thank you to all who have encouraged and supported my candidacy for District 1 supervisor. 

Special thanks to my husband, Dave, my son Russell and his girlfriend Cassie and all those who took time from their busy schedules to help achieve a winning result in the June 7 primary election.

I also want to say thank you to Congressman Mike Thompson, Assemblymember Bill Dodd, Board of Equalization Chairwoman Fiona Ma and the many other community members, leaders and organizations who supported me in this effort.

Finally, thank you to the other three candidates. Their active engagement makes south Lake County a better place for all of us.

I am proud of the positive, issue-oriented campaign we conducted. I applaud Voris, Moke and Jim for maintaining a respectful yet challenging District 1 supervisor race.

As we move to the November runoff election, I will continue to speak out on the issues of concern to local residents, work toward full recovery from the fires of 2015, and to highlight my vision and commitment for Lake County’s future.

Thank you again for your help, your encouragement and your support.

Monica Rosenthal lives in Middletown, Calif. Based on the preliminary results of the June 7, 2016, primary election, she is expected to take part in a November runoff with Jose “Moke” Simon III for the District 1 supervisorial seat.
