The format for the evening will allow each candidate to introduce himself, describe his primary issues, and answer questions from Alta Sierra residents.You are invited to send questions for the candidates in advance to www.aspoa.org/contact or to ask them personally at the event.Presentations, questions and responses will be moderated for time to allow a chance for anyone wishing to speak.Our District 2 candidates recently provided the following statements for your consideration.Ed Scofield states “As a long time resident of Alta Sierra, I am aware of many of the issues facing NevadaCounty and especially District II.I look forward to greeting many of my neighbors and discussing our mutual concerns.I want the residents of Alta Sierra to know that I’m listening and will do my best to represent you as a CountySupervisor.”Candidate Alan Kilborn states “NevadaCounty is challenged with fire danger traffic and growth issues, and economic concerns.We must fortify our fire and law enforcement agencies with first class equipment, training, and compensation.Highway 49 safety must be improved.Our tax base and growth issues require careful and serious planning to attract high quality business/employers with affordable housing and appropriate wages to keep our workforce local and tax base strong.”
