As a CZU fire victim who lost both homes on my property, I am acutely aware of the shortcomings of Santa Cruz County’s process for rebuilding. Monica Martinez is intent on streamlining the process after such disasters. She will also work to provide greater resources and incentives for vegetation management/defensible space.

Monica represents both experience and a hard-working agent for a variety of changes.  Please read more at martinezforsupervisor.com, and vote for Monica Martinez for 5th District county supervisor.
