Editor’s note: A Lookout View is the opinion of our Community Voices opinion section, written by our editorial board, which consists of Community Voices Editor Jody K. Biehl and Lookout Founder Ken Doctor. Our goal is to connect the dots we see in the news and offer a bigger-picture view â€” all intended to see Santa Cruz County meet the challenges of the day and to shine a light on issues we believe must be on the public agenda. These views are distinct and independent from the work of our newsroom and its reporting. Read more here.

Local government works best when experience, relationships and institutional knowledge are already in place on Day 1. In this race for Santa Cruz City Council District 6, Renee Golder offers that readiness in a way that stands out.
