Dan Hamburg is on the November ballot. He welcomes your support and involvement. Mendocino County's large Fifth District is a collection of communities... each unique. Now more than ever, we need to work together to protect and enhance our way of life. "I’m running for Fifth District supervisor because I love this county and have a positive contribution to make toward its future. My experience at all levels of government—local, state and federal—will benefit our county as we successfully meet the many challenges we face. We have the capacity—with our rich resources and pool of human ingenuity—to thrive and to lead." As your supervisor, I will work to: Build a stronger local economy, protect our coast, conserve our water and fisheries, restore fiscal stability, and invest in community vitality and safety. Click here to read detailed descriptions of my position on these and other issues. When I was elected to the Board from the Second District in 1980, I joined then-Fifth District Supervisor Norman deVall and then-Third District Supervisor Jim Eddie in a successful effort to write and pass the first comprehensive General Plan and Local Coastal Plan in county history. In 1986, I moved to the Fifth District (on Highway 253 near Robinson Creek). In 1992, I was elected to the United States House of Representatives, the first person from Mendocino County to serve in that position.The Fifth District has sent progressive leaders to the Board of Supervisors for three decades, including Supervisors deVall, Peterson, and Colfax. The Fifth District must continue to lead the county. I will continue this progressive tradition. I will work hard to earn your vote and the opportunity to serve as your representative on the Board of Supervisors. |

Dear Friend of the Fifth District, You probably know that in November I’ll be running against Wendy Roberts for the Fifth District Supervisor position on the Mendocino County Board of Supervisors. While our campaign placed first among the four candidates in the ]une primary, we did not receive the requisite 50%+1 votes needed to win in the ]une primary. ]im Mastin, former chair of the Mendocino County Democratic Party and a former candidate for this position has graciously offered his unqualified endorsement. ]im has also contributed generously and offered substantive help to our campaign. Wendy Roberts is supported by all of the County’s Ukiah-based conservative bastions—the Farm Bureau, the Employers’ Council, the North Coast Builders Exchange, and the North Bay Realtors Association. Her endorsement list reads like a “Who’s Who?” of many of the people who have helped steered our economy to its current precarious state. Our campaign is to build a localized economy based on sustainable principles with living-wage jobs. The vision of the groups behind Wendy Roberts is not only empirically wrong, but it is seriously out of synch with the majority ofthe voters of the Fifth District. Wendy Roberts’ campaign is being run by a Santa Rosa consulting group called Delphi. Delphi is owned by a former regional director of the Republican National Committee, and has managed the campaigns of several conservative Mendocino County politicians. As indicated by our first place finish, our support is broad. (You can check out our endorsement list at our campaign website, votehamburg5.org). We have a very strong local campaign led by a Steering Committee that represents every town in our far-flung district. But in order to win this race, we will need your support! Please make a contribution to the campaign today by:
The adage, “early money helps most” is certainly true in this campaign. We must be ready to go with a fully developed campaign by the end of summer! There is absolutely no doubt that Wendy Roberts’ campaign will be well-funded. The Fifth District seat has been held by progressives since 1978, and those behind the Roberts campaign hope this may be their chance to win it back. With your support, we will not let that happen! Thanks for your contribution and have a great summer. You’ll be hearing more from us after Labor Day! Please don’t hesitate to contact me or any of campaign coordinators if you would like to volunteer, put up a sign, or just want to chat. Best regards, Dan Hamburg |
