I’ve lived in Los Osos since 1980. For 34 years, I worked with the SLO County Board of Supervisors as District 2’s park commissioner.
I think there’s only one choice for 2nd District supervisor: Jim Dantona. His values, experience, and knowledge demonstrate that he will be an outstanding county supervisor. He understands the uniqueness of our area, has a long history of working in and with local government; he listens and asks good questions and is eager to work with all interests to create good solutions. He has the knowledge to get things done for us.
Woody’s core values are not clear. Until recently he was a Republican—in the past, he’s stated that he doesn’t believe in man-made climate change, that he’d be willing to have local law enforcement cooperate with ICE, and he’s supported allowing local school districts to arm themselves.
Woody was quoted by The Tribune, “I need people to point out where I’m missing pieces to the puzzle.”
Jim knows the issues and has the background and ability to be the leader we need right now. Woody seems to be missing what District 2 voters care about. Vote Dantona.
