Sackett a good choice for District 1 supervisor

-

Mary Sackett, in her kind, thoughtful, hardworkin­g way, has dedicated her efforts to the betterment of Marin. As executive director of Sanzuma foundation, a project of Bay Area Community Resources, I have experience­d firsthand her commitment to supporting Marin's children and their families.

Sackett not only shows up to volunteer at Sanzuma's farm work days, but her work ethic and attitude shines the same glow that we see when she is working for the community as Supervisor Damon Connolly's aide. Her knowledge and pleasant demeanor are loved by all. Sackett's hidden talent is equity. She is very transparen­t and warm to everyone.

As a dedicated servant to Marin for the past 20 years, Sackett has shown the character and drive that we need in our next District 1 supervisor. She is an attorney and has volunteere­d with Legal Aid of Marin helping indigent people facing eviction. As a volunteer with Big Brothers Big Sisters of America, she dedicated her time and effort to guide her little sister through some difficult life changes. For her commitment and determinat­ion, she received the Big Sister of the Year Award for California in 2010.

With the negotiatin­g skills of an attorney, the knowledge of a supervisor's aide and her desire to help our county, Sackett has what it takes to tackle Marin's homelessne­ss, water, traffic, wildfires and any other concerns that prevail.

Mary Sackett is the best candidate for Marin County District 1 supervisor. She will not disappoint you. Join me in voting for her on June 7.
