–Arroyo Grande City Councilman and local attorney Jimmy Paulding is running for District 4 County Supervisor once again in an effort to “restore good governance to the San Luis Obispo County Board of Supervisors.”
“As a public servant, I deeply value the responsibility of representing everybody, whether they vote for me or not,” Paulding said. “Valuing the perspectives of all who care to engage in a civil and respectful conversation is everything. If you don’t value that, you shouldn’t hold public office.”
Paulding is running for county supervisor after having narrowly lost to the current incumbent by only 60 votes out of more than 18,000 votes cast in June of 2018. Jimmy’s bid for supervisor drew countywide interest, leading the Paulding campaign to break local fundraising records for a challenger at that time, raising nearly $300,000. That November, he was elected to the Arroyo Grande City Council as the top vote recipient in a five-person race.
