I am writing to convey my support for Monica Rosenthal as a candidate for District 1 supervisor.

For years, Monica has found ways to remain engaged in our community. During her time as planning commissioner, she asked hard questions and refused to cut corners. Monica spent countless hours researching zoning changes and proposed developments. She always came to the table educated about the topics being discussed.

During the aftermath of the devastating Valley fire, Monica once again showed her strength of character. She worked hard with local and state government to obtain resources and organize distribution to those in need. Monica was recognized as Lake County’s Woman of the Year for her involvement in the community before and following the fire.

Throughout the years, Monica has set an admirable standard of leadership that our community can respect. Hard work and determination is something that we can trust. Vote Monica for District 1 supervisor and the leadership we deserve.

Russell Rosenthal is the son of Monica and David Rosenthal. He lives in Santa Rosa, Calif.
