Editor:
I considered running for county supervisor as a concerned multi-generation Humboldtian who believes we can be sustainably self-sufficient. Then I learned Mary Burke was running — the best person possible for the job!
Mary has been one of my most important mentors. We first met through ultimate frisbee. Early on I strove to play like her, then I strove to be like her. Sports are leadership theater, and Mary is a star. Through her hall of fame career, she consistently uplifted the strengths of others, demonstrating the rare combination of elite skill, toughness, preparation, humility, and character that defines truly great leaders.
Mary has a proven record through restoration work and leadership on MCMAC. She is thoughtful, prepared, collaborative and deeply committed to this community. Her strength will amplify our own, and her leadership will help Humboldt realize its vast and sustainable potential.
Join me in enthusiastically voting for Mary Burke!
