Supervisor, District 2
Why does this race matter?
Current Marin County District 2 Supervisor Katie Rice is not seeking reelection after more than a decade in office. With no incumbent, the field to replace her is crowded with four hopefuls running to represent a district that includes Fairfax, Larkspur, Ross and San Anselmo.
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.
