Candidate's Statement

WHAT I WILL FIGHT FOR​

It has been an honor and privilege to serve the residents of District 3 for the last seven years.  As a 50-year resident of Shasta County, business owner, mother and grandmother of six, I want to continue to see this county thrive and prosper.  With my extensive knowledge and background in agriculture, forestry and mental health/substance use, I will continue to serve with the best intentions for all who live in the county.  Public safety continues to be a very high priority.

I attended Cal Poly – SLO and have two degrees from Simpson University.  My husband and I have operated successful agricultural businesses for almost 50 years.  Our flagship operation, the Prather Ranch, has received national and state recognition for its practices and I know what it takes to meet payrolls, balance budgets and make strategic business decisions.  I have been active in my community for decades, including serving on the California State Board of Forestry and Fire Protection. The last few years have been especially challenging on many levels.  It has been my intention to continue to provide stability, fiscal responsibility and common sense to the Board of Supervisors.   Please vote for me on March 5th.
