As a voter in the 2nd Assembly, and as retired Sonoma County DA, I’ve been watching the race and its candidates closely. One thing’s for sure - it’s gotten a lot of attention, and may I say, for all the wrong reasons. Negative ads and TV commercials tend to heat things up and create a lot of excitement, but they basically only tell you who not to vote for. I know something about big money and negativity in local politics and was proud to be successful in overcoming it.Please take your time to sort through the darkness and join me in voting for the candidate who’s been here with us, doing the work, supporting the region, and running for Assembly with grace and dignity. Let’s elect Chris Rogers to represent us.Jill Ravitch#placement_573654_0_i{width:100%;max-width:550px;margin:0 auto;}var rnd = window.rnd || Math.floor(Math.random()*10e6);var pid573654 = window.pid573654 || rnd;var plc573654 = window.plc573654 || 0;var abkw = window.abkw || '';var absrc = 'https://ads.empowerlocal.co/adserve/;ID=181918;size=0x0;setID=573654;type=js;sw='+screen.width+';sh='+screen.height+';spr='+window.devicePixelRatio+';kw='+abkw+';pid='+pid573654+';place='+(plc573654++)+';rnd='+rnd+';click=CLICK_MACRO_PLACEHOLDER';var _absrc = absrc.split("type=js"); absrc = _absrc[0] + 'type=js;referrer=' + encodeURIComponent(document.location.href) + _absrc[1];document.write('');Sebastopol googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('ad-1515727'); });
