In my many years of association with Brad Rasmussen I have found him to be interested in all segments of Lake County communities, not just Lakeport.

His broad experience gained from years of working with all law enforcement agencies in Lake County and many from outside the county has served our residents very well.

When I became aware in March of this year that he would be running for District 4 supervisor, I was sure Lake County would benefit greatly from his decision.

Brad and I have been community volunteers through our service clubs in many events over several years. He is a very active volunteer with Lakeport Kiwanis and Lions and I, through my membership in the Lakeport Rotary Club and Lake County Rodeo Association, have enjoyed contributing to our communities.

He has been an excellent chief of police and during my years as chief executive officer of the Lake County Chamber of Commerce, the cooperation of the Lakeport Police Department has always been there for our businesses and residents.

When we had disasters in the county Brad was very involved in working with all relevant agencies to assure safety for all concerned.

Lake County needs involved and committed supervisors who work for all residents and communities throughout the county.

His experience and cooperation with others is a testimony to his ability to look at the big picture, which will result in informed and intelligent results for Lake County.

He will invest himself fully as District 4 supervisor.
