Bass has more than earned re-election
After soul-searching and following my conscience I felt compelled to write and satisfy a compulsion concerning the ongoing campaign for 4th District Supervisor.
I have had the pleasure of knowing Supervisor Bass for many years, beginning when she operated the O.H. Bass restaurant in Eureka. When the restaurant was open some years ago, I went there often with friends or relatives and found Virginia waiting tables. Even though under some strain because of operating the restaurant, she was always willing to undertake a few minutes of conversation concerning a current Humboldt County topic. In the years following the sale of her restaurant, I observed her rising career to the point where she became supervisor, a position she now holds. I have talked to Virginia occasionally and of course followed her career in the media. I know her to be a dedicated, absolutely honest hard worker who through the years has gained invaluable experience, which of course is a core value in a position such as supervisor.
I have not met and do not know her opponent in this political race. So my opinion of him is what I have heard, seen, or read. Based on this information it appears he has miles to go to gather the essentials as possessed by Virginia.
In short, we are extremely fortunate to have a Supervisor such as Virginia Bass and I would love to vote for her but am not in the 4th District. Let me strongly urge your vote on June 3 for Virginia Bass.
