Unlike some political contests that we may have an interest in these days, the March 5 Primary Election for 1st District supervisor is not a matter of good vs. evil, populist disruption, or the fate of democracy. It is, however, very much about competence, experience, and innovative leadership.
The choice should be clear to South Coast voters: Das Williams has proven himself effective — at the city, state, and county levels — regarding environmental stewardship, public safety, education, housing affordability, and sustainable economic growth.
The details of policy regarding each of these areas of concern can be overwhelming for voters to keep abreast of, but for me it’s a no-brainer because I know Das has a mind for detail, a sense of fair judgment about complex issues, and the integrity to stand up for his decisions and for his constituents.
