With
an eye on families and sustainable communities, Susan Gorin, joined by state
senator Noreen Evans, implored enthusiastic supporters at a fundraiser
yesterday; “Don’t let them buy Sonoma County”.
She
was referring to supporters of her opponent; John Sawyer, who she is battling
in a close race for the 1st district seat on the Sonoma County Board
of Supervisors.
A
staunch neighborhood advocate, Susan said, if elected, she would initiate campaign finance
laws to fully disclose lobbyists and special interests.
Gorin, a Santa Rosa City Council member
who has been endorsed by elected officials from across the district, stressed the need to develop balanced communities. Communities that promote local business,
provide multi-modal means for transportation and make available comprehensive
health care services.
Susan
also believes in maintaining a balanced county budget without cutting essential
services.
In
addition to her support for water conservation and reuse efforts, Gorin said
she will work to preserve open space, hillsides, parks and farmland.
Gorin’s
strong conviction for planned sustainable growth and her promotion for green
jobs and green construction standards have earned her support from the Sierra
Club.
The
fundraiser on Sunday afternoon was hosted at White Barn at Oak Hill Farm in Glen Ellen. A beautiful idyllic location for a candidate known
for her support of environmental issues.
Over
$15,000 was raised, which included the announcement of the endorsement of Gorin
by Operating Engineers Local Union No. 3 (OE3).
Their financial contribution and endorsement follows the early backing
of Gorin by Service Employees International Union (SEIU) Local 1021.
