You don’t have to agree with every decision Supervisor Joel Engardio has made to recognize that he has delivered real results for District 4 and is deeply committed to continuing that work.
Campaign finance laws exist for a reason: to ensure transparency, accountability, and fairness in our elections. But the recall campaign against Supervisor Joel Engardio has seemingly failed to follow basic financial disclosure rules – raising serious ethical and legal concerns.
Supervisor Engardio did not lie to us nor try to “sneak” Prop. K on the ballot. During his 2022 campaign, I asked him about his position on the Upper Great Highway. He supported the temporary weekend closure as the best option, versus Prop. I’s 24/7 reopening.
