If you’re keeping score, this makes it Patrick Cleary and Pat Higgins in the Fifth District, with at least a few more fence-sitters likely to follow.
My friends,
Please join Cat and me at Azalea Hall in McKinleyville on Wednesday January 20th at 12:30pm when I will announce my candidacy for County Supervisor for 5th District. Come at noon for an opportunity to say hi while live music is provided by Ken and Maria Jorgenson and friends.
Azalea Hall is at 1620 Picket Avenue just off of Central Avenue on McKinleyville. Please tell your friends and anyone you feel would have an interest in being there. Also, please also forward this e-mail to anyone you think would be interested. I would be thrilled to have a big crowd there.
We hope to see you Wednesday.
all my best,Patrick Cleary

Rose, you’re analysis of this next local election is the stuff good writers are made of.
Thanks for the information on the three week rain, snow, wind and flood event coming that you posted on your blog. Time to get ready for big storms and floods.
I’ll probably vote for Patrick, Paul and Mike. Unless…
Lot of diversity in that group.
LOL. Tom. Unless…
