Too bad I cannot vote for John since I live in District #1, but I can sing his praises and recommend that all the good citizens of District #3 keep John doing the excellent job that he has done for the past 5+ years. I have known John and have been one of his supporters ever since he replaced me as county planning commissioner back in 2003.
John is now seeking to be elected for the third time to continue serving all of the county as a hard working member of the most effective and fiscally responsible Nevada County boards ever – and especially during today’s continuing California calamity.
John is a licensed land surveyor who understands the private sector, has a squeaky clean record of service, and the experience in county government needed to keep us on a fiscally sound path. His only downside is that he has a low ‘flashy factor’ for an elected official. But then again, lately we’ve been paying a lot for politicians with a lot of flash, but no bang to back it up.
His opponent, Terry Lamphier, is primarily a big question mark regarding his experience and ability to work with others. The gentleman has no real background in local government except for a stint on the GV Planning Commission from which he was essentially fired by his colleagues. Most of his ‘new’ proposals for the county indicate a disconnect, since the county has already been implementing them for some time now.
Bottom line, do we need to change what has worked so well for us? John Spencer will continue bringing to the job his honesty, integrity, energy, and no-nonsense approach to governing (to use his words) “without wasting everyone’s time.” Please keep John as your District #3 Supervisor.
