Congressman endorses Susan Funk for District 5 County Supervisor
Susan Funk.
– This week, Susan Funk, candidate for District 5 County Supervisor, announced the endorsement of Salud Carbajal, US Representative for the 24th Congressional District of California. The 24th District includes all of Santa Barbara County and portions of San Luis Obispo and Ventura counties.
Carbajal, who sits on three House committees (Armed Services, Transportation and Infrastructure, and Agriculture), has chosen to support Funk’s campaign due to her “outstanding skills in leadership and consensus-building.”
“Susan isn’t afraid to do the hard work of leadership,” Carbajal said, “I know how much energy it takes to build consensus, and I’ve seen Susan do it over and over again. The time she spends really studying the issues and discerning the facts means that her proposals and ideas are not beholden to a single political party or special interests. Her willingness to listen with respect to all points of view–to reach out across the political divide–is exactly the kind of leadership we need in SLO County. Susan Funk has my full support for District 5 Supervisor.”
In accepting the endorsement, Funk said, “I respect what Rep. Carbajal has accomplished as our representative, as well as how he works across the aisle to get things done, and I’m honored to have his support. “
The supervisor election is set to take place on March 5, 2024. For more information about Funk’s campaign, visit funkforsloco.com.
