I support Susan Masten for District 5 Supervisor because she is an experienced leader who understands both public service and business. Susan Masten is a lifelong resident of Del Norte County and has stayed involved and invested in the County since she was a child.As a business owner, she chaired the North Coast Small Business Development Center recognizing that community involvement is also part of business.My experience is that, in spite of her long time in public service, Susan Masten continues to take the time to speak to everyone who wishes to talk to her and to make sure that she hears what they say.#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('');Susan Masten shows she understands the importance of addressing difficult issues that won’t go away unless they are taken care of. She both looks at history as well as ahead. She welcomes new ideas without rigid reactions. She cares about the welfare of all people, all of our health, all of our housing, all of our schools, all of our jobs, all of our rights, laws and liberty.Susan Masten has even developed relationships nationally, and understands innovative ways we can expand our vision in Del Norte County and support responses to these big issues: Housing, Infrastructure, Economic Development, Education and Recreation, Mental and Behavioral Health, and Law Enforcement.With Susan Masten’s past experience, her ability to bring people from all walks of life together to work on projects, her connection to family and community, her integrity, her perseverance, and her eye for detail, she can help lead all of us create a community of hope, and that alone is a win.Please join me in supporting Ms. Masten and voting for her for 5th District Supervisor.Helen M. “Elly” HoopesCrescent City googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('ad-1515727'); });
