I have tremendous admiration for anyone who chooses to throw their hat in the ring for elected office, but some nonpartisan positions require specific experience and skills. I watched my wife train for the position of county clerk-recorder for 12 years, and then perform that role for 20 more. I am still astonished at the complexity and diverse skill set that the position entails, and if there is one thing I learned, it is this: The office of clerk-recorder should not be a second career. For that reason, I strongly support Elaina Cano for San Luis Obispo County Clerk-Recorder, and I hope you will join me in voting for Elaina on June 7.

Thank you, Mr. Rodewald.
Elaina Cano will receive my vote, as she has the experience required for the position.
