https://www.waccobb.net/forums/waccobb/keep90days/2020-01-22_14-41-11.pngLynda Hopkins is running for her second term as Fifth District Supervisor on the March 3 ballot. Whip smart, accessible and hands-on, Hopkins is one of the most popular politicians in west county, and for months it was assumed that she’d run unopposed and have an easy waltz to victory.

The Fifth District is the largest and most varied supervisorial district in Sonoma County. It encompasses all of west county and stretches north along the coast to the Mendocino County line. The southern end of the district curves east to Highway 101, taking in a large swath of southeast Santa Rosa, including Roseland.

In part because of its size, the Fifth District is notoriously difficult to represent, and in the last few months, a nascent opposition to Hopkins has appeared in Roseland.

Roseland resident Stuart Kiehl, who blames Hopkins for the homeless encampment on the Joe Rodota Trail, has started a recall campaign against her, and another Roseland resident, Mike Hilber, a newcomer with no political backing, has submitted paperwork to run against her for supervisor.

I agree with this article in Sonoma West. I live in the 5th District, so Lynda is not my official supervisor, though she is the one I communicate with and look to for help. This helpful article by Laura Hagar Rush is worth reading.
