Two in run-off for Yuba County District 2 supervisor’s seat
Don Blaser
1. Who are you? I’m Don Blaser, resident of beautiful downtown Marysville. My wife and I created The Brick Coffee House Café 17 years ago. We have 2 children and 4 wonderful grandchildren.
2. What makes you the best candidate? As a 17-year downtown business owner, I’ve seen missed opportunities to return Marysville to its historic roots and vibrant destination.
With the recent sale of my business, along with my financial expertise, I can devote the time needed to produce a positive effect for District 2 and Yuba County.
3. What top priorities would you champion, if elected? Public Safety – Local governments were created to protect our citizens. I will always support Public Safety, including Code Enforcement. Homelessness – Coordinated Entry System advances our ability to help those needing a hand up. We have a long way to go, but are making progress. Infrastructure Development – A necessary step to higher paying jobs and business growth in our county.
