Reasons

  • “Jones-Carter is also one of the four founders of the Benton Street Improvement Association, bringing signs of hope to our county and beyond since 2017.”

  • “While both candidates are campaigning on similar issues — housing affordability, homelessness, infrastructure maintenance and downtown revitalization— Jones-Carter’s experience and organizational management will be assets to a Santa Rosa City Council struggling with a budget deficit and leadership turnover.”
