Supervisor, District 4
Why does this race matter?
Napa County’s Board of Supervisors is seeing a major change this year, with three of the five seats on the ballot. The 4th District covers parts of the city of Napa, Silverado Country Club, Lake Berryessa, and Monticello Park. In Napa, there are no term limits for county supervisor, so the winner of this race could shape county policy for years to come.
What does a county supervisor do?
Supervisors govern county programs and departments and approve the county budget. Their largest area of spending is traditionally health care and human services. Supervisors are also responsible for local jails and elections, and they make decisions on law enforcement and housing in unincorporated areas of the county. If a supervisor candidate receives over 50% of the vote in the primary, they take office for a four-year term. Otherwise, the top two candidates face off in the November general election.
