Living in the 4th District, we see the results of neglected infrastructure every day. From pothole-riddled roads to aging bridges, the county has allowed our foundations to crumble while focusing on niche pet projects. It’s a lack of accountability that affects our safety and our wallets.
Adam Verdin’s back-to-basics platform is a breath of fresh air. He recognizes that infrastructure isn’t just a convenience; it’s a tier 1 priority that supports our economy and our daily lives. Adam isn’t offering vague promises. He’s calling for a transparent strategy where taxpayer dollars are spent efficiently on the things that actually matter to residents.
For too long, South County has been a secondary thought for the SLO County Board of Supervisors. We need a leader who will demand that our fair share of resources comes back to our communities. Adam Verdin has the backbone to hold the county accountable and ensure our roads and public facilities are finally given the attention they deserve.

Verdin is a lawyer and will screw all of us.
Abe Lincoln also was a lawyer.
Fly, Paulding is a lawyer. Doubly screwed…. Paulding won’t answer my question if Miriam Shah consulted him about Caballero BESS before she voted to approve it. No journalist is bold enough to coax a throwing under the bus.
Becoming a Supervisor for Verdin isn’t a birthright. I knew his father, John. Nice guy and gave me employment when I needed it. There is an element in Oceano that want to turn it into and the entire central coast, into Newport Beach. Young Adam Verdin will be their mouthpiece. I would prefer the incumbent.
