Jimmy Paulding is either unaware of the issues in our county or he is purposely deceiving the public for his own political gain.
Paulding claims his opponent is in the pocket of the special interest. But Supervisor Lynn Compton went against special interests that want to control North County water rights, while Paulding has promised to vote with Supervisors Adam Hill and Bruce Gibson in giving away our water rights to big land owners.
Paulding claims his opponent has done nothing for parks in her district because there are no new parks in the past three years. But Supervisor Compton fought for developer impact fees raised in South County to be spent on parks in South County leading to approval of money for a skate park in Nipomo.
Paulding claims that his opponent is the reason the Board of Supervisors is contentious. But Paulding’s supporter, Supervisor Hill, has admitted his issues with depression and anxiety are the reason for his boorish behavior on the board.
Paulding claims that he is more qualified than anyone on the board of supervisors. But he is a 32-year-old, fresh out of law school.
While Paulding is busy throwing mud, Supervisor Compton is working for our community.

Bottom line: I am voting for Jimmy Paulding.
Interesting to note that the letter writer supporting Lynn Compton doesnt even live in her district. That seems to be the case with most of the so-called Compton supporters posting in comment sections.
At this point there is no sense in arguing with the trolls and lobbyists. Now its all about boots on the ground and making sure people send in their mail-in ballots or show up at polls on June 5. The more people who vote the more votes there will be for Mr. Paulding.
Drive neighbors to the polls or help them fill out their mail in ballots. Its important. We need competent common sense leaders now more than ever.
It’s no joke or exaggeration when someone tells you Compton gets much of her instruction and direction from an extreme rightwing corporate lobbyist who doesn’t live in SLO County, who she confers with weekly, if not more often. That is NOT serving her constituents.
Please make sure you vote. This election is important. Tell your friends. Paulding is the kind of politician we need leading us into the future. It’s nice to be part of the “Paulding Phenomenon”, something we can tell our grandchildren about one day.
