Sonoma County Supervisor Election for Primary March 7, 2000
District 3 - Rohnert Park north past Santa Rosa and mainly East of Highway
101.
Noreen Evans (Democrat) Attorney, small business owner, Santa Rosa City Council
Member.
Tim Smith (Democrat) incumbent supervisor.
WE RECOMMEND: NOREEN EVANS
Update: Unfortunately, for Sonoma County Tim Smith won with a lot of help from developers and natural resource extracting companies. You can read about what type of County supervisor he is below. This page will be updated soon with information about all the current supervisors.
Sonoma County is large and semi-rural with rapidly increasing urbanization.
The question is, which candidates will most likely accelerate making it another
densely populated, polluted, noisy, crime ridden area with little sustainable
economic base -- those candidates are the ones NOT to vote for.
For incumbents, we attempt to use their voting record and review their list
of major contributors to try to determine who is best using the "know the
candidates" issues list. (see list
of issues).
The 3rd district race has clearly distinguishable candidates because both have held elected office and the voting record and contribution list that can be tracked.
Tim Smith's contribution list looks like who's who of the developers and polluters list and his voting record reflects it. Smith has also been fined $18,000 for using campaign contributions for personal use.
Noreen Evans in endorsed by Sierra Club and Sonoma Conservation Action because she has been relatively good on environmental issues. She is also been good on citizen's accessibility to government.
