San Bernardino County Not Saying Who Has Applied for Board Vacancy – San Bernardino Sun 11/30/2018 San Bernardino County not saying who has applied for board vacancy – San Bernardino Sun LOCAL NEWS San Bernardino County not saying who has applied for board vacancy Supervisors who campaigned for office won't say who's in the running By SANDRA EMERSON | [email protected] | Inland Valley Daily Bulletin PUBLISHED: November 29, 2018 at 5:41 pm | UPDATED: November 29, 2018 at 5:42 pm Residents might have to wait another week to nd out who is applying for the vacant supervisor seat. The deadline to apply for the 3rd District vacancy is 2 p.m. Monday, Dec. 3, but the county is not releasing the names of the applicants until the day before they are to be interviewed by the board. The county is withholding the information “in an effort to create as even a playing eld as possible for the applicants and ensure as best as possible that the board’s decision will be based solely on the applications and interviews,” said David Wert, county spokesman, via email Thursday. https://www.sbsun.com/2018/11/29/san-bernardino-county-not-saying-who-has-applied-for-board-vacancy/ 1/4 11/30/2018 San Bernardino County not saying who has applied for board vacancy – San Bernardino Sun “Even members of the Board of Supervisors have not yet been provided with the applications.” On Nov. 13, the board voted to accept applications for the seat being vacated by Supervisor James Ramos, a Democrat who won his bid for the 40th Assembly District midway through his four-year term on the board. The board also agreed to discuss the process again during its meeting Tuesday, Dec. 4, to assess the number of applications and whether they’ll need to make any changes. Public interviews, and a potential a vote on their new colleague, are scheduled to happen Tuesday, Dec. 11. Legally, the county must post the agenda for the meeting no later than 10 a.m. Monday, Dec. 10. The board, however, has tentatively set aside additional time on Thursday, Dec. 13 and Tuesday, Dec. 18 if necessary, Wert said. While the county is not releasing applicants’ names, a few people have conrmed their interest, including former 3rd District Supervisor Neil Derry. Derry sat on the board from 2008 until 2012, when Ramos unseated him following a hotly contested and sometimes contentious race. Derry also previously served on the San Bernardino City Council. He is currently vice president of public affairs for Desmond & Louis, Inc., a public relations rm. If appointed, Derry said he wants to see the completion of the Big Bear Alpine Zoo, a project he championed while on the board. He also wants to help steer the board away from relying heavily on county staff. “We need somebody experienced on the board,” said Derry, of Redlands. Chris Carillo, Ramos’ deputy chief of staff, also is interested in the job. Carillo, an attorney who also serves on the East Valley Water District Board of Directors, said he has worked in the district at the federal, county and municipal level for the past 12 years, making him well versed in the issues. “Having served as James’s Deputy Chief of Staff for two and a half years places me in a unique position to hit the ground running,” said Carillo, of Highland. Chris Mann, president of Mann Communications and founder of the Inland Empire Taxpayers Association, said he will be applying for the seat. https://www.sbsun.com/2018/11/29/san-bernardino-county-not-saying-who-has-applied-for-board-vacancy/ 2/4 11/30/2018 San Bernardino County not saying who has applied for board vacancy – San Bernardino Sun Mann, who currently sits on the Yucaipa Valley Water District board, also served as Supervisor Josie Gonzales’ deputy chief of staff from 2014-17. In an emailed statement, Mann said he made the decision to apply for the seat aer being approached by a number of community leaders and organizations over the past few months. “Since making this decision, I have been humbled by the level of support I’ve received, which includes endorsements from county labor groups, industry associations, local business leaders, and other elected ofcials,” said Mann, of Yucaipa. “I have a great deal of respect for the members of the Board of Supervisors, who now have an enormously important and difcult decision in front of them as there will no doubt be a crowded eld of highly qualied applicants.” Former Republican state lawmaker Bill Emmerson conrmed his application for the seat. Emmerson served in the Assembly from 2004-10. He was elected to the Senate in 2010, but retired in 2013, saying his passion for the job diminished. He is currently senior vice president for state relations and advocacy for the California Hospital Association. Emmerson, of Redlands, said he believes his background on public health and budgeting issues will be benecial to the board. “It’s a very bipartisan position and I think I can add some value using my previous legislative experience,” he said. “It’s neither Republican nor Democrat. This is about working to solve the problems at the local government level.” The board will meet at 10 a.m. Tuesday, Dec. 4 at the county government center, 385 N. Arrowhead Ave., in San Bernardino.

Next May, Kimberly could make history by becoming the California Democratic Party’s first African American Chair. “One of the things I learned growing up as a military kid was the value of hard work and tenacity,” Ellis said. “I knew from the beginning that my candidacy for Chair would require me going above and beyond. My Emerge California training taught me the importance of starting early and raising the resources needed to run a strong, viable campaign. That’s exactly what I’ve done.” The money was raised through a variety of vehicles, including Crowdpac, a new crowdfunding platform with a mission “to give politics back to the people.” “I am proud of the more than 300 donors who have contributed to my campaign thus far. They include everyone from the grassroots to the grass tops” Ellis said. 99.9% of the money raised has come from individual donors. “My supporters are invested in my leadership and vision for the California Democratic Party. They represent hundreds of potential new donors who will not only sustain our Party, but grow it. You can expect these numbers to increase by multiples throughout the course of my campaign.” The Northern California Announcement Party will take place tomorrow in San Francisco at the Delancey Street Foundation, Town Hall | 600 The Embarcadero | San Francisco, CA 94107 For more information, contact Dexter Roberson, Campaign Manager at (510) 388-1217 | [email protected] Paid for by Kimberly Ellis for California Kimberly Ellis for California 3060 El Cerrito Plaza #515 El Cerrito CA 94530 United States If you believe you received this message in error or wish to no longer receive email from us, please unsubscribe.

  • San Mateo County Democratic Central Committee General Meeting Minutes February 21, 2019
    San Mateo County Democratic Central Committee General Meeting Minutes February 21, 2019 Prior to Meeting • At 7:31pm, Chair called order for the Speaker Series speaker. Lilli Rey of Bay Area Border Relief and Belinda Arriaga, of Ayudando Latinos a Soñar, gave a talk about Bay Area Border Relief and the refuge crisis on the southern border. o Jon Levinson passed a hat and asked for donations. o Question: 900 people per day are attempting to cross? o Answer: At McAllen Center, this is the number. It is high. In Tijuana, the number is 100 per day. The conditions in Tijuana are eroding. Refugees are moving themselves to South Texas. If you cross in South Texas and you cross the river, you turn yourself into custody to be processed for asylum. They are on US land. At Tijuana, they are not on US soil so they don’t have to be given an asylum hearing. So refugees are choosing to locate to Texas. Single people are being turned away. So families are coming. They also have to pay a “coyote” approximately $10K-$15K to be brought to the border. o Q: Can a child ask for asylum alone? o A: They are put into a facility. 95% of these children have a relative but are not being released to the family. They are holding them until they are 18. o Q: Kids were asked to make drawings. Can you talk about that? Also, the private prisons that are making money on children. o A: If 11 years old or older, they are caged separate from parents.
