Denise Loustalot announces candidacy for District 3 supervisor
LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – Local business owner and East Region Town Hall Chairwoman Denise Loustalot has pulled papers from the Lake County Registrar of Voters Office and officially announced her candidacy to represent the people of District 3 on the Lake County Board of Supervisors.
“Our Northshore communities need more jobs and better economic opportunities. As the successful owner of two local businesses that employ 28 people, I have the experience to create jobs and attract new businesses to District 3,” said Loustalot.
“Creating a more prosperous local economy also means protecting Clear Lake, our most precious economic and environmental resource,” she said. “As county supervisor, I will focus on environmentally appropriate business development that preserves our quality of life.”
“Unfortunately, the needs of District 3 residents have too often gone unmet at the county level,” continued Loustalot. “We deserve a supervisor who listens better, talks less, and works in a more effective manner with other county leaders to improve roads and services in our local communities.
She added, “As a regional town hall chair and former Clearlake mayor, I will use my leadership skills to ensure that the people of District 3 receive our fair share of county resources.”
Local community and business leaders joined in expressing their support for Loustalot’s candidacy for county supervisor.
“Denise is a public servant not a politician. She is truly committed to the best interests of our communities and I’m proud to endorse her candidacy for Supervisor,” stated Northshore resident Kathy Garner.
“Denise Loustalot understands how to grow a business and create jobs,” said Bill Stone, immediate past president of the Clearlake Oaks Business Association. “We need that kind of hands-on leadership working for District 3 on the County Board of Supervisors.”
Other community leaders endorsing Denise include Lake County Planning Commissioner Bob Malley, Upper Lake business owner Roger Hue de Laroque and former Lake County Supervisor Ed Robey.
A resident of Lake County for more than 37 years, Loustalot graduated from Lower Lake High School in 1988.
She is a third-generation family small business owner. Denise and her husband Pete own two successful local businesses. She currently serves as president of the Clear Lake Chamber of Commerce.
In addition to her business involvement, Loustalot has devoted many years of service to the community.
She chairs the East Region Town Hall community organization and formerly served on the boards of the Land Area Formation Council and the Lake County Area Planning Council, as well as the Public Education and Government TV Board.
Loustalot is a former councilwoman and two-term mayor from the city of Clearlake . She is a member of Rotary and Soroptimists.
The Loustalots have a “blended” family of five children.
