Supervisor, District 1
Why does this race matter?
San Mateo County District 1 Supervisor Dave Pine has termed out and is endorsing former U.S. Rep. Jackie Speier as his successor. Speier’s sole opponent in the race is Millbrae Councilmember Ann Schneider.
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.
