Old guard vs. local fresh face

EDITOR,
While FLOW, Friends of Locally Owned Water, was working to purchase Felton’s water system from a foreign multinational, I stopped in Bruce McPherson’s Sacramento office. I was told by his chief aide that Mr. McPherson would — unequivocally — not meet with or help us. If he wouldn’t meet with a large, local group on something so critically needing his state-level help, why would we expect his attention now?
The 5th District supervisor race provides a very clear choice: old-guard power structure versus fresh, local hard work.
I’m truly excited to support Eric Hammer for supervisor. I’ve known him for years; he’s come up through the grassroots, really listens, rolls up his sleeves and works harder than anyone I know for our kids, our environment, our economy. At every forum, his understanding of what’s actually happening locally and how to create real, positive change ran circles around his opponents.
