Lake County Association of Realtors’ endorsements
The Lake County Association of Realtors’ Local Candidate Recommendation Committee interviewed 10 of the 11 candidates for Supervisor in Districts 1, 4, and 5. After a thoughtful consideration of each of the candidates’ skills and knowledge of Lake County, the specific Districts, and what each candidate would bring to the position, the committee recommended a slate of endorsements to the board of directors of the Lake County Association of Realtors, which now endorses these candidates: John Hess for Supervisor of District 1; Brad Rasmussen for Supervisor of District 4; and Jessica Pyska for Supervisor of District 5. The committee thanks all of the candidates who took the time to answer our written questions and come in to talk to us in person.
