To the Editor:
I am writing to express my support for Carla Castilla in her application to serve on the Ventura County Board of Supervisors. I understand that the County have a competitive pool of nominated candidates to select from. I believe that Carla is the best fit for this important race for the 3rd District Supervisor is a critical to the future of Ventura County . Carla is a longtime environmental activist/she will work closed to develop ideas for a health and better communities. One big issues is affordable housing and homeless shelters that will make a big difference in Ventura County. Carla had the opportunity to work with local ,State and Federal issues that have an impact on the County, Carla Advocate for need of our homeless veterans and others issues. It is that Carla is an excellent candidates to represent the residents of the Third District

I have known Carla Castilla and her parents since she was a child. Like her parents, Carla is dedicated to serving the public. Her parents have raised her with Christian values in a loving home.
She is dedicated, intelligent and ambitious. As a lifetime resident of Ventura County, she has a natural interest in making Ventura county a great place to live, work, and raise a family.
Her past 16 years of public service have educated and prepared her for the position she is seeking, Supervisor of the 3rd. District, Ventura County. She is committed to saving
Ventura's resources including our open spaces, water quality, and way of life. She will bring new blood to the position she is seeking, instead of a continuance of the same mentality that has been guiding Ventura for the past many years.
I look forward to Carla Castilla bringing new ideas to Ventura County!

To the Editor:
We urge you to join us in voting for Kevin Kildee for Ventura County Supervisor representing the 3rd District.
As a lifelong Ventura County resident, Kevin is in tune with the wants and needs of its people. He is a staunch advocate for ensuring public safety, creating jobs and maintaining quality of life. He supports the extension of SOAR, an initiative that protects our county’s farmland while putting proposed growth in the hands of the voters.
As a longtime public servant, Kevin has proven to be an independent thinker, always approaching issues with an open mind and putting his constituents first. In his 18 years as a Camarillo city councilman, including four terms as mayor, Kevin helped open the beautiful Camarillo Library, guide the redevelopment of Old Town and turn the county animal shelter into a no-kill facility. He has also served on county commissions.
Kevin takes his responsibility to his constituents seriously. He hasn’t missed a council meeting in 18 years. He researches issues, seeks input and acts in the best interests of people as a whole, not himself or his friends. He will do the same as a county supervisor. His campaign is grassroots, relying on volunteers and not “special interest” donors.
We have known Kevin and his family a long time, and he has always been a man of integrity who is committed to his community. In a field of many candidates, Kevin Kildee stands out. Please join us in supporting him on June 7.

To the Editor:
I met Carla Castilla, through her parents, many years ago when she was a young girl going to school in Ventura County. She was and still is a brilliant, caring and responsible person who loves her community. Carla has continually strived to improve our environment, keep our county and neighborhoods safe, create more jobs and protect our precious farmland. Carla Castilla’s dedication and hard work will promote a healthy and positive environment for Ventura County. I for one cannot think of anyone more suited to the job.
Thank you very much!
