Support Heather for District 2 Marin Supervisor

"McPhail Sridharan has championed students within our community by serving as a trustee on the Kentfield School District board as well as serving as chair of the Safe Routes to School program. Most recently, I had the privilege of working with her on the community advisory group for the Project Homekey site at 1251 S. Eliseo Drive, where we both also served on the public safety committee.

McPhail Sridharan understands the role of government, how it operates and the needs of our county. Not only is she an advocate for our community, but she is someone who is not afraid to speak her mind and does so collaboratively, empathetically and intellectually."

"The Ross Valley flood-fee process lacks effective leadership and transparency. . .

As a former member of the Marin County Flood Control District Zone 9 advisory board, I watched local control of recent flood protection projects being abdicated to the Marin County Board of Supervisors for projects in Fairfax and San Anselmo. Doing so created distrust and opposition to consultant-conceived projects, including plans to dig out some popular parks and playfields.

Millions were spent on projects upstream from Kentfield, Greenbrae and Larkspur, leaving us “holding the bag” after the dredging of lower Corte Madera Creek was defunded. . .

It begs for an audit and a financial reset. It should fund projects in lower Corte Madera Creek. . .

Heather McPhail Sridharan, a candidate for the District 2 supervisor seat on the Nov. 5 ballot, will demand this review and reset. She will demand that the county record audio flood control advisory board meetings to ensure transparency, which current Supervisor Katie Rice never agreed to do (despite my requests).

The public deserves better."

"I feel like I’m part of the pink wave sweeping our country right now. With the announcement of Kamala Harris on the presidential ticket, women are very motivated to turn out and vote for women up and down the ballot. When I go door knocking, I feel this new energy and momentum among women that wasn’t in play before Harris entered the race.  

I feel proud to have the endorsement from the Marin Women’s Political Action Committee, Planned Parenthood, and am a Mom’s Demand Action Gun Sense Candidate.  I am predicting that women will turn out in record numbers to vote in November, not just nationally, but in Marin as well. So much is at stake right now. Not just fundamental reproductive rights, but also our democracy."
