June 7 will be the last day for you to weigh in on several important local political races to choose those who will hold elective office for the next four years. I hope you will make your voice heard.

My name is on the ballot: Patrick Sullivan for treasurer-tax collector. I am a licensed attorney and I have worked for the past 10 years gaining expertise in rural finance issues.

I was hired by the county of Lake in 2018 to focus on several high priority issues, including cannabis tax regulation, vacation rental taxation and management of the county’s investment portfolio, all of which can drive revenue into the county.

My time with the county has provided me with invaluable experience and allowed me to make strong partnerships with many in the community.

Once elected, I plan to build a stable and experienced customer-focused team in the Treasurer-Tax Collector’s Office, expand payment options and upgrade processing systems, increase public online data access, and better manage the tax defaulted property sales process providing benefit to the community.

I am grateful for the strong support I have received and look forward to working with the many constituencies who are focused on moving this county forward. I give special thanks to my family who are a source of encouragement every day.

My wife Andrea, a Lakeport business owner for the past eight years, and I are delighted to be raising our children in Lake County and proud to call it our forever home.
