In the District 2 race, De Serpa has cash on hand, while Brown reported spending slightly more money than she has brought in.

A Lookout View: Kristen Brown for District 2 county supervisor

by Lookout Editorial Board

In the race for District 2 Santa Cruz County supervisor, the Lookout Editorial Board believes that both Kristen Brown and Kim De Serpa would serve well on the county board. However, like our voters, we are forced to make a choice. In this race, we favor Kristen Brown. We believe her experience with different levels of government, her discipline and ability to command facts and a room and her deep connections to the other supervisors and local politicians make her the slightly better choice.
