November 5, 2019 – The public will have a chance to hear from local candidates for the Board of Supervisors on Saturday, November 9 at 9:30 A.M. at the Miners Roadhouse. These offices are non-partisan and while an individual represents a specific district, they also represent the entire county.

Wayne Forsythe (pictured left) is running for the first time for District IV to replace retiring Kevin Cann. He is running unopposed as of this date. Miles Menetrey is running for re-election for District V. He is also running unopposed.

Forsythe was previously the ag teacher at Mariposa High School. He currently serves on the Mariposa County School Board.

Menetrey (pictured right) was previously in the construction business and is currently serving as the Chair of the Board.

County Supervisors oversee a budget of $148.5 million and well over 200 employees. They are paid $50,00 a year, plus benefits. Each serves a four-year term with no term limits.

The current term runs until December 31, 2020. The primary election will be held next March, and the county will have an all mail in ballot election.

This event is free to the public. Coffee and water will be served. If you would like to order breakfast for yourself, please arrive by 9:00 A.M.
