Our 3rd District county supervisor,
Joan Hartmann, is a highly responsive representative for local interests. When
the Vandenberg Village Community Services District asked if she could get county
permission for us to drill some test water wells on county property, she helped
us out. We asked and she delivered.
As a veteran, I suggested
to her that she should reduce county park fees for veterans at state parks. I
asked and she delivered. Joan’s father was a soldier in Korea, who succumbed to
injuries received in theater; this may help to explain her deep commitment to veteran’s
needs.
Joan has been very attentive to the Vandenberg
Village community, participating in the Route 1 Farmers Market, addressing
community concerns about a proposed clinic, and working with local advocates to
create plans for a local park and playground. She has held office hours each
month and sponsored local hikes. She attends many community functions and has
hosted a number of well-attended forums on fire safety and road improvements.
She also helped to bring over $2 million for Burton Mesa fire prevention work.
She delivers for our community.
