Randy Mendosa, Arcata Editor: If ever there was a clear and obvious choice in an election campaign, it is in the local race for auditor-controller. Cheryl Dillingham has a proven track record of successfully running the Auditor-Controller’s Office without fanfare or drama, is respected by co-workers, subordinates, department leaders and managers within the county structure, and is endorsed by pretty much everyone who has worked with and for her. Cheryl is an outstanding candidate. A vote for her is a vote to restore much-needed trust, integrity and competence to that office. Karen Suiker, Eureka
Fifth District Supervisor Editor: With over 20 years in community service and now with a term as supervisor, Steve Madrone is setting the stage for an incredibly productive four more years. Sustainable community development and ecological restoration efforts are being flooded by funding from state and federal agencies; and Supervisor Madrone has experience and a proven track record in bringing public funds to benefit our community. In McKinleyville, we could use a big dose of ecologically-sound community development and redevelopment, where we have opportunity while enhancing our green and rejuvenating open spaces.
