Editor:
I’ve worked with Mary Burke on local issues for a decade. In that time, I’ve seen her capacity to convene community members and organizations to reach common ground. She builds consensus then takes action to create the durable solutions we need in the Fifth District.

Mary’s work has created jobs, brought millions into our economy, and improved our environment. Her work — from managing complex restoration projects in Orick and McKinleyville to securing resources for infrastructure — speaks volumes to her effectiveness. Mary doesn’t talk in hypotheticals about what she would do, she’s already shown us what she can do. It’s no surprise she’s garnered a wide array of endorsements across the Fifth District and among legislators. She is a bridge-builder who listens, acts and delivers.

Mary’s established record and relationships prove she’s the leader who will get the right things done. Join me in voting for Mary Burke for Fifth District supervisor.

Lisa Dugan, McKinleyville
