Editor:
It is my pleasure to endorse Kimberley White for Arcata City Council in 2026. I can’t think of anyone better qualified to serve, considering the breadth of her institutional knowledge and commitment to social justice and community engagement.
Kimberley is passionate about amplifying the voices of underserved neighborhoods and creating more opportunities for engagement. Through the participatory budgeting process, she has facilitated visualization sessions which have empowered residents to imagine the change they’d like to see, such as parks, murals, youth programs, etc. She has used her grant-writing skills to help bring some of these ideas to fruition, such as Arcata’s new Resilience Hub/Family Resource Center.
Kimberley’s collaborative-leadership style and deep commitment to our community has earned her the endorsements of the Humboldt County Democratic Central Committee, Humboldt Progressive Democrats, the Central Labor Council, Assemblymember Chris Rogers, and Supervisor Steve Madrone. Please vote for Kimberley White!
Lisa Pelletier, Arcata
