Yesterday, we each received campaign mailers from a mysterious Sacramento-based political action committee that fraudulently claimed 5th District San Luis Obispo County supervisor candidate Ellen Beraud has dishonored veterans.
We have both known and associated with Ellen for many years. We both know that she has nothing but respect for America’s vets.
Further, we are not surprised that Ellen’s opponent, Debbie Arnold, would seek the support of a Sacramento-based political action committee that implies a connection to veterans in our community when no such connection exists.
We are both longtime residents of SLO County’s 5th District. We both fully support the election of Ellen Beraud as our next supervisor.

Sorry Marauder…It seems all of a sudden, people who support Arnold, who happen to be veterans, are all up in arms about Ellen. Is it about veterans or is it really just a bunch of political hacks who oppose Beraud’s promise of real leadership in SLO County. Plenty of veterans have come out in opposition to using a sacred cow–our brave veterans to smear a political candidate….Sorry, the whole thing is crap bercause Arnold cannot run on her record!
I called it 18 minutes after the SLO polls closed last night…
#NeverBeraud was prophetic
Now go away you Libocrat hippie (doper industry contribution taker).
The District 5 Supervisor winner is D. Arnold.
