I'm Barbara Smiley, and
I'm running for District 2 Supervisor. This district is very diverse including the Business Park in El Dorado Hills, wine country in south county, and Sierra communities of Pollock Pines, Grizzly Flats and Kyburz.. 

El Dorado County needs someone who will listen to you and speak up for your concerns. I have been active in the community and with community groups for the past seven years working with others to make a difference in El Dorado County.
