Thank you so much to all those in District 3 who voted for me and everyone in Lake County who supported me in the District 3 supervisor election on June 8. The opportunity to represent you is an honor.

To those who endorsed, supported or contributed to my campaign and especially to those who worked on the campaign by walking precincts with me, organizing events, running the office, placing signs and contacting voters – THANK YOU. I am humbled by your ongoing support and am so grateful for it.

I also want to thank my opponents, Robert Hesterberg and Gary Lewis, for their issue-oriented campaigns and for caring enough to run for office.

Whether or not you voted for me, please know that I will continue to work hard on your behalf.

Together, with you, I am certain we can create a positive, hopeful future for Lake County, our home.

Denise Rushing lives in Upper Lake. She was elected to her second term as District 3 supervisor on June 8.
