To the residents of San Mateo County It has been my honor to serve you on the San Mateo County Board of Supervisors since 2009. I really enjoy the work. I really enjoy solving tough problems. I've been a resident of this County since 1976 and have served as an elected official for 14 years: first on the City Council of San Mateo -- twice as Mayor -- and now as a San Mateo County Supervisor. In general, I have focused on access to healthcare, increased programs for children, economic development opportunities for the County, public safety, and preserving our County's precious environment. Please see the more detailed discussion of specific issues below. For voters, this campaign for Supervisor is different from any we've had before. Residents can only vote for the candidate representing their district -- in my case District 2. But for me, district elections don't really change anything. I've always worked to serve all the people of San Mateo County, and will continue to do so. When I cast a vote, when I take on a project, when I represent the people of this County in any way, I am mindful of the concerns and opinions I hear from you. I value and appreciate your support and welcome your comments on the topics that face us as a community. I look forward to opportunities to discuss your thoughts. I'm committed and I'm engaged. San Mateo County is the very best place to live, work and raise a family. I want to keep working for you and our County to protect what we have, and expand into new and exciting potential possibilities for our residents. Please contact me through email at carolegroom2014@gmail.com or or by phone 650-483-9872 Welcome to the District 2 website! This district includes the cities of Belmont, San Mateo and Foster City. Our County is unique for its beautiful range of landscapes, the breadth of its economic capacity and technological innovation, and the diversity of its people. This is a county where all sectors, including business, education, government, nonprofit, healthcare and religion, have historically, and continue, to come together to build a strong community. In 2018, we will continue to tackle some pressing issues, from infrastructure improvements to housing, and early education investments to the legalization of cannabis. I hope you will save the date for some of our District 2 events: June 30, 2018 Kite Day September 22, 2018 Disaster Preparedness Day October 19, 2018 Active San Mateo County Conference November, 2018 Seniors on the Move Conference As your District Two Supervisor, I am committed to making the county a better place for ALL residents, employees and students. Healthcare, public safety, transportation and safety net services know no boundaries. I welcome you to share any thoughts you have regarding how we can continue to make the quality of life better in San Mateo County.
