Efren Carrillo and Shirley Zane both intend to run for re-election next June. Some of Efren's votes have quite disappointing (most notably on the Dutra asphalt plant) but not always. He has now taken up the lead for Sonoma County to establish a Community Choice Aggregation power agency, similar to Marin Clean Energy, which is a big deal and big step in the right direction.
How do you feel about his record so far? Do you support him for re-election? Why or why not? Who would you like to see instead? Is there any indication if Rue Furch will run again?
How about Shirley Zane? How do you feel about her first term? Would you support her re-election?

Current Sonoma County supervisors Efren Carrillo and Shirlee Zane are coming back for seconds.
The two first-time supervisors, who were elected in 2008, are both planning to run for re-election next June.
In separate interviews Friday about the county's redistricting plans, the supervisors confirmed their plans to run.
Zane, 51, who represents most of Santa Rosa and Rohnert Park, had been seen as a possible candidate in next year's race to fill the congressional seat held by Rep. Lynn Woolsey, D-Petaluma. But she said changes to that seat in the state redistricting process and unfinished projects at the county level led to her decision to stick around.
"I love local government and I don't want to be anywhere else," Zane said. She kicked off her campaign recently with a fundraiser that she said took in $30,000.
Carrillo, who serves as the board chairman, is also seen as interested in higher office. But the 30-year-old supervisor said he hopes to continue representing the west county after next year's election.
He'll kick off his campaign with supporters at an event in September.
Valerie Brown, the other supervisor whose term expires next year, has yet to announce her plans.
Candidates who've filed to run for the Sonoma Valley seat include Mark Bramfitt, an energy consultant and board member on the Valley of the Moon Water District and Sonoma Valley Citizens Advisory Commission, and Gina Cuclis, a communications consultant and former Sonoma planning commissioner who resides in Boyes Hot Springs.
