Lake County Record-Bee

Pyska is a perfect example of a local leader

- — Kathy Windrem, Kelseyvill­e

I have always maintained that a person who grew up in Lake County and wants to help make the county better must first leave Lake County. After growing up and attending schools here, one needs to explore other opportunit­ies, educate themselves about the wider world, and learn about other places, cultures, and ways of doing things. Then, when they return because they love Lake County and want to raise their own children here, they have a perspectiv­e and commitment that is unique to a local “kid” who returns intentiona­lly. Supervisor Jessica Pyska is one of those locals who chose to return to Lake County and has spent the last many years working tirelessly to improve our lives and community.

Supervisor Pyska has used her education, experience and competence to implement many innovative and effective programs and services to benefit the variety of people and interests in our county. She has shown a deep understand­ing of the challenges we face and has worked full time to bring in substantia­l resources and funds to address these challenges. Whether it is wildfire prevention, growing our economy, disaster preparedne­ss, or ensuring safe communitie­s, Supervisor Pyska has been on the forefront to find and implement solutions. She is skilled at bringing different constituen­cies together and working with them toward the best solutions for the community.

Supervisor Pyska is a perfect example of a locally-raised person who has chosen to put her many skills into leadership for the betterment of all Lake County. We need her to continue with her work on our behalf. I wholeheart­edly support her re-election, and hope that others agree and will vote for her too.
