Kris Casto has the skills Mariposa County needs to build consensus and govern effectively. Kris and I founded the Foothills Community Mediation Center, which has provided dispute resolution services to the County, Court, Probation Department, District Attorney, Sheriff, and the community at large. She was a key figure in recruiting and training local citizens to solve problems by finding common ground and building consensus.  When elected, Kris will bring the conflict resolution skills and training necessary to solve constituent problems in a win-win manner. Kris is dedicated to finding common ground and will bring those skills to governing our County effectively. These are the kind of skills we desperately need in County government to solve the many challenges our County will be facing.
