In today's political climate it is evident that honesty and integrity are so sadly lacking in many candidates for public office. This is one of the reasons that I strongly support Tina Scott for Lake County supervisor for District 4.

Tina has a proven record of caring for and serving her community in an honorable and dignified manner.

She also has proven results – as a school board member securing passage of a $17 million bond that will bring much needed additional funding to Lakeport students; as a foster parent, providing a stable and loving home to more than 60 foster children. And so many more examples.

As a business person, I am concerned about the current economics in Lake County. We must put much more emphasis on bringing in businesses and marketing our greatest assets, including our spectacular lake, our award-winning wineries, our clean air and the fact that Lake County an incredible place to live and work.

Tina Scott understands this and has many great ideas to implement change. Most importantly, she has the leadership ability and respect of the people to inspire and motivate others around a common goal.

As icing on the cake, she has pledged to provide 20 percent of her salary to nonprofits focused on youth and senior programs.

Please join me in voting for Tina Scott on Nov. 9 so that we can elect a full-time, educated, intelligent, honest candidate with fresh eyes and forward-thinking ideas as the supervisor for District 4.
