San Mateo County
Why does this race matter?
Whoever wins the District 4 race will have the opportunity to shape policy across San Mateo County, from policing to jobs to flooding. The county is dealing with significant development, the growing impacts of climate change and the need for more attention on public safety issues.
What does a county supervisor do?
Supervisors govern county programs and departments and approve the county budget. Their largest area of spending is traditionally health care and human services. Supervisors are also responsible for local jails and elections, and they make decisions on law enforcement and housing in unincorporated areas of the county. If a supervisor candidate receives over 50% of the vote in the primary, they take office for a four-year term. Otherwise, the top two candidates face off in the November general election.
