Supervisor Estelle Fennell a good county leader

The understatement of today is “These are difficult times.” The COVID-19 challenges, the largest wildfires recorded, the failing economy, limited health care and the division of our nation due to “leaders” who do not lead. Estelle Fennell is a good leader. Rare commodity today.

Granted, no one person can change the world. But one person can help change the local neighborhood.

We are Mike and Debra Lake. We are lifelong residents of Humboldt County. We have been involved with the local volunteer fire services for close to 30 years.

When Estelle Fennel first ran for supervisor, we threw our support to the incumbent, Cliff Clendenen. Estelle won that election. It turns out that we are happy she did.

Estelle has been responsive to our needs. It takes experience to run our local government. It takes connections and relationships built over the years to bring results for our problems and needs.

Estelle helped our village of Fruitland Ridge when we were struggling to form a viable Fire Protection District. Her knowledge of District Formation in today’s fire world is an essential skill. Reliable funding in fire protection is and can be a life saver. Our district formation was challenged by a timber company and Estelle stood up to them and took our side when they wanted to crush our efforts to provide emergency and fire protection to Fruitland Ridge.

Estelle knows fire and supports fire.

We endorse Estelle Fennell for 2nd District Humboldt County Supervisor 2020.

Sincerely, — Mike and Deb Lake, Myers Flat
