Allen most qualified

 I am writing to express my support for Sheila Allen. As a colleague and friend, I believe that Sheila is the most qualified candidate to represent District 4.

I first met her about twenty years ago, at the Yolo County Health Department. Throughout the years I’ve known her, she has consistently demonstrated a commitment to our community. She has been an advocate for all Yolo County residents from all stages and circumstances in life, from youth and families to seniors. The depth and breadth of her experience and commitment to service is unparalleled.

A stand-out aspect of Sheila’s service is her tireless advocacy for public health. Sheila was heavily involved in the COVID-19 response and was a valuable member of the advisory committee that made the very challenging decision-making and implementation process of equitable vaccine distribution a success. Her efforts in other public health projects have positively impacted countless individuals. We need a leader who not only understands Yolo’s unique challenges, but also has a proven track record of effectively addressing them.

In addition to her impressive accomplishments, Sheila has consistently shown a willingness to collaborate with all community stakeholders. This inclusive approach to governance is crucial in fostering unity and ensuring that the diverse voices of Yolo County are heard and represented.

As we approach March 5, I encourage Yolo County residents to consider the invaluable contributions Sheila has made to our community. Her experience, passion, and dedication make her the clear choice to represent Yolo’s District 4.
