Four candidates have thrown their hats in the ring to represent hillside and coast side communities in San Mateo County, replacing Supervisor Don Horsley who terms out this year.
Four Peninsula politicos are going head to head in the June 7 primary to determine who will replace Don Horsley on the San Mateo County Board of Supervisors to represent the largest district in the county, encompassing mostly open space, coastside communities and affluent suburbs.
The four candidates vying for Horsley’s District 3 seat are San Carlos councilwoman Laura Parmer-Lohan; worker’s rights advocate and labor union political director Steven Booker; San Mateo County Harbor District Board Commissioner Virginia Chang Kiraly; and Menlo Park councilman Ray Mueller — all of whom are hoping to represent the district which stretches from Pacifica down to the Santa Cruz county line and includes cities like Atherton, Woodside, Portola Balley, San Carlos and parts of Menlo...
Booker served six years in the US Air Force and has spent hundreds of volunteer hours and his career fighting for the rights of workers. He said he has always advocated “for those in need” and given a voice “to those who aren’t being heard.”In his campaign, Booker makes a point of noting the lack of diversity on the board of supervisors and hopes that his election to Horsley’s seat will help change that.
Kiraly, currently a member of both the San Mateo County Harbor District Board and the Menlo Park Fire Protection District Board, announced her campaign will focus on rectifying the “political disharmony” that has existed in the county for the past few years. On the harbor board, Kiraly said she fought to protect our environment and keep the county’s coastline safe, as an elected official of her local fire board she “always puts safety first,” and as a member of the California Commission for Economic Development, she ” worked to help our state recover from the great recession.”
