As the Fifth District sits upon portions of the traditional homelands of four federally recognized tribes (Yurok, Karuk, Hoopa, Wyott.) Please speak to your experience working with local tribal communities, and how you plan to work with tribal communities as Fifth District Supervisor.

Thank you for your question, Chris. I do not have any direct technical experience working with local Tribal communities. However, I have an idea of how I would hope to work with local Tribal communities givin the chance to serve as 5th District Supervisor. First and foremost, I will respect Tribal sovereignty. I will do my best to demonstrate that I can be a reliable, compassionate, and available partner where County functions and Tribal government overlap. I hope to show through my actions that I genuinely care about supporting Tribal efforts to preserve culture, land, water, and the success of future generations. Thanks!
