Letter to the Editor: Rochelle Sherlock is the answer.  (Vallejo Times Herald)

This year, it’s crucial for residents of Solano County’s District 2 to shift their focus beyond the presidential race and consider the pivotal Board of Supervisor seat. Incumbent Monica Brown has displayed a concerning lack of attention to the residents’ issues, including fire protection.

Solano County is currently under a severe fire threat, comparable to the devastating 2020 LNU Complex fire, the state’s second-largest at the time. Despite urgent warnings from local and state officials, Supervisor Brown has seemingly turned a blind eye to these concerns. Fire officials have repeatedly reached out to her, inviting her to meetings and seeking her support to improve the county’s fire districts, but she has consistently ignored these calls for assistance.

Solano County deserves better leadership, and Rochelle Sherlock is the answer.

I first encountered Rochelle Sherlock in 2019 when she was actively working to gain support for the Green Valley Fire Safe Council. Through public education, fuel reduction strategies, and mobilizing resident volunteers, the Green Valley Fire Safe Council has made significant progress in reducing the risk of wildland fires.

In 2022, Rochelle successfully secured a nearly $1 million grant from Cal Fire for fuel reduction. This grant enabled the creation of a substantial “shaded fuel break,” a critical measure to disrupt approaching wildfires. The project’s first phase was completed in spring 2023, showcasing Rochelle’s effectiveness.

Rochelle’s leadership extends beyond securing grants; she actively collaborates with local fire authorities and other stakeholders. The council, under her guidance, has applied for and received additional CAL FIRE grants, initiating the second phase of their project. The goal is comprehensive protection for upper Green Valley, and the adjacent area of Cordelia.

As March 5 approaches, the choice for District 2 is clear. Instead of retaining a supervisor uninterested in broader community concerns, it’s time to vote in Rochelle Sherlock as the next Supervisor. The county needs a leader who is responsive, proactive, and committed to the well-being of all residents.

BENICIA RESIDENT RAMÓN CASTELLBLANCH: SUPERVISOR CANDIDATE ROCHELLE SHERLOCK WILL RESTORE THE PUBLIC’S VOICE IN COUNTY GOVERNANCE (published in the Benicia Independent)

By Ramón Castellblanch, February 26, 2024

I’m voting for Rochelle Sherlock for District 2 Supervisor because she’ll help bring the effectiveness of public participation back to County government.  For years, a majority of the County Board of Supervisors has been shutting down the voices of concerned residents and ceding control to power-seeking bumbling bureaucrats.  The board cut off an organization where Montezuma Hills farmers could have stood up to California Forever’s land grab when the eliminated the Agricultural Advisory Board.  They shut out health care activists fighting Solano’s increasingly deadly opioid epidemic when then dissolved the Alcohol & Drug Advisory Board. They stopped the work of advocates for food security for Solano families when then terminated the Commission for Women and Girls.  They undermined history buffs’ protection of the County’s records of its history, including our long military history, when they disbanded the Historical Records Commission.  The board took all these actions peremptorily, holding public comment to a bare minimum.  In disbanding the Historical Records Commission, they dismissed a petition signed by hundreds with just a few days’ notice.

Solano needs these critical matters and more to be addressed by concerned residents in the open and not left to County bureaucrats operating behind closed doors.  Rochelle Sherlock is committed to building a board majority that opens up critical County decisions to local participation.  That’s why I’m voting for Sherlock for county supervisor.

 Two District 2 candidates speak out; incumbent sits out | News | dailyrepublic.com (NOTE: Dizon's claim is false)

FAIRFIELD — Nora Dizon claims to be the only truly independent candidate seeking the District 2 seat on the Solano County Board of Supervisors. "District 2 needs a supervisor who voters can trust to act in the best interest of current residents," Dizon emphasized.

Rochelle Sherlock, making her second bid for the post, said she has 30 years of county-related and collaborative community service experience combined with an educational resume that includes a doctorate. "I am a leadership strategist, executive coach, and organizational effectiveness professional working with corporations and organizations across the country to make their organizations more effective, productive, impactful, and a better place to work," Sherlock said. "I have been a fierce community advocate, addressing issues pertaining to poverty, equity, transportation, public health and safety, disaster preparedness, older adults, fraud prevention, violence prevention, women/children and families, small businesses, and strengthening the non-profit sector which serves as the frontline defense for many social and environmental issues."

Both are looking to unseat two-term Supervisor Monica Brown, who did not respond to the questions by the Daily Republic. She was given three opportunities to answer.

Those questions asked were:

• What is the most important issue in District 2? What specific ideas do you have for dealing with it?

• What is the most important issue in Solano County? What specific ideas do you have for dealing with it?

• What qualification makes you best suited to being a county supervisor over your opponents?

Brown's noncooperation aside, the two challengers have different views on what is important in the district and in the county.

Again, Dizon emphasized the need for "trust" in a supervisor.

"What happens after the vote?...The current supervisor and (Sherlock) both have developer ties. So many decisions are made to help friends and deep pocket developers (often out of state). Loopholes are being used to help get approvals for projects while fully aware of the hardship that they inflict on existing residents. That has to stop," Dizon said.

Sherlock points to an umbrella of issues under "safety and quality of life" as the top priority in District 2. "For Vallejo and Fairfield, quality of life is greatly affected by the growing homeless population and crime. These two issues, while different, can overlap such as when someone who is homeless also breaks into homes or businesses, deliberately sets fire to a structure or to another’s encampment, is violent, and/or is in possession, using and/or selling drugs. Not all people who are unsheltered commit crimes, just as not all people who commit crimes do so out of necessity and need. These two issues overlap in another way," Sherlock said.

Sherlock said easing criminal penalties, such as the voter-approved Proposition 47, has not helped the situation.

She supports closing crime loopholes, and a need to develop "a comprehensive coordinated response to address underlying needs of the unhoused."

As for Benicia, she added, it has issues such as "unmaintained streets and roads, high cost of water and sewer, and a desire to retain the city’s historic character while also improving the downtown so businesses can thrive ...

"The County needs to apply for every available grant to increase services and work closely with the cities to address needs ... We need to continue to address the housing crisis and affordability crisis by increasing supply to meet the demand using smart growth principles to create urban and transit centric housing for walkable, bikeable communities," Sherlock said.

Sherlock said the economy is the biggest issue for the county overall. "If we wish to address these issues and foster safe, thriving communities then we must look at all of the financial levers available to us. These levers include applying for every available grant and funding source available. We should not leave any money on the table. We also need to form cross-jurisdictional and regional partnerships to position ourselves to be competitive for funds, and for the purpose of economic development," she said. "On the economic development front ... we need to be proactive and strategic in taking steps to protect major employers and the county’s core economic base (e.g., agriculture and Travis Air Force Base)."

She said, "I have a long history of working with leaders to reduce silos, create alignment, improve processes, and establish metrics for progress against stated goals."

Dizon said the most important issue facing the county is California Forever. "Many people are collaborating to promote the candidate that will approve California Forever. Currently we have one supervisor that favors California Forever and one that is against it," said Dizon, who did not provide the names of those supervisors she believes have taken such positions. "Two more candidates with Yes positions is the goal of the collaborators. I have a no position on California Forever. (It) is trying to take away a portion of our taxes to serve them. We are still waiting on a number of infrastructure improvements. Why let the billionaires take our tax dollars away?"

Dizon also noted the upcoming General Plan update is a critical issue facing the county. The real estate broker, who has worked across a number of related topics, said she will bring her experience to that work.

"I will add that experience and knowledge to help Solano County craft a plan and the policies needed for a strong and vibrant future," Dizon said.

DISTRICT 2 CANDIDATE STATEMENTS

(Incumbent Monica Brown was given three chances to respond, but did not).

The Daily Republic sent each candidate three questions: 

• What is the most important issue in District 1? What specific ideas do you have for dealing with it?

• What is the most important issue in Solano County? What specific ideas do you have for dealing with it?

• What qualification makes you best suited to being a County Supervisor over your opponent?

ROCHELLE SHERLOCK

1. The most important issue in District 2 pertains to safety and quality of life. For Vallejo and Fairfield, quality of lifeis greatly affected by the growing homeless population and crime. These two issues, while different, can overlap such as when someone who is homeless also breaks into homes or businesses, deliberately sets fire to a structure or to another’s encampment, is violent, and/or is in possession, using and/or selling drugs. Not all people who are unsheltered commit crimes, just as not all people who commit crimes do so out of necessity and need. These two issues overlap in another way. When the State passed Prop 47, it reduced penalties for certain lower-level drug and property offenses. Possession for personal use of most illegal drugs is considered a misdemeanor under Proposition 47, as are property crimes if the value is less than $950 such as check forgery, theft, shoplifting, and writing bad checks. Lowering of the penalties led to thousands of inmates being released into the communities without any enforcement or mandated treatment as in the case of substance abuse. Substance use disorder treatment programs saw a significant drop in the number of people utilizing them, meaning many addicts did not seek treatment when they were no longer mandated. Moreover, formerly incarcerated individuals face significant barriers to employment and housing. Formerly incarcerated individuals are 10 times more likely to be homeless than the general public according to the Prison Policy Initiative 1. Therefore, we have huge issues with multiple interacting factors which doesn’t even include the 9 th Circuit Court of Appeals ruling which limits what local jurisdictions can do in terms of removing homeless encampments. Homelessness not only affect the health and well-being of the unhoused, together with crime it affects the quality of life and safety of residents, hurts local businesses, negatively affects the economy which in turn impacts city and county revenue, further limiting their ability to respond to the growing need. We need to take a multi-pronged approach to these issues. First, we must use the resources of the County to lobby the State to close the loopholes that have led to the increase in crime in the first place. Done right this should help reduce crimes and reduce the number of formerly incarcerated who are unhoused. Secondly, we need to have a comprehensive coordinated response to address underlying needs of the unhoused. This includes working with the cities, faith and community-based organizations to provide shelter and basic needs and increase mental health and behavioral health services and connect people to available income sources. The County needs to apply for every available grant to increase services and work closely with the cities to address needs. Third, we need to continue to address the housing crisis and affordability crisis by increasing supply to meet the demand using smart growth principles to create urban and transit centric housing for walkable, bikeable communities. For Benicia, quality of life is affected by unmaintained streets and roads, high cost of water and sewer, and a desire to retain the city’s historic character while also improving the downtown so businesses can thrive and the downtown can continue to be a place for individuals, families and children to enjoy. The city is actively working on a tax measure that would help address their structural deficit, and a citizens group has put together a measure strictly for improving streets and roads. As County Supervisor I would actively work to support economic development, take steps to restore the Historic Records Commission and the advisory boards that have been recently dissolved by the Board of Supervisors (e.g., Alcohol and Drug Advisory Committee, Agricultural Advisory Committee, Solano Partnership Against Violence, etc.) and work collaboratively with the city council and residents to form a coalition to address environmental concerns like sea level rise.

2. From my perspective, the economy is the most important issue in Solano County. Four of the seven cities are struggling financially, and there isn’t enough revenue to provide the level of city services needed to maintain quality of life (e.g., streets and roads, sidewalks, bike paths, parks and recreation, open space, etc.), water/sewer, and public health and safety. On the county's side, the need for behavioral health and safety net services exceeds the county’s ability to adequately meet those needs. These factors combined make it difficult to sufficiently address some of our most pressing issues like crime and homelessness. Relatedly, the cost of living makes living here unaffordable for many people. We need good, living wage paying jobs. Generally speaking, cities rely on sales and use taxes, property taxes, fees (e.g., filing, permits, licenses), and to a lesser degree grants. Whereas the largest revenue source for county Government is federal and state funding, primarily for health and human services, followed by property taxes and to a much lesser extent fees, taxes (e.g., sales), and fines. Without sufficient revenue streams local government is hamstrung and we cannot hope to adequately address the issues and will continue to fall short of meeting community needs and aspirations. If we wish to address these issues and foster safe, thriving communities then we must look at all of the financial levers available to us. These levers include applying for every available grant and funding source available. We should not leave any money on the table. We also need to form cross-jurisdictional and regional partnerships to position ourselves to be competitive for funds, and for the purpose of economic development. On the economic development front, there is a recent report titled “Moving Solano Forward III” which outlines key strategies for business retention and recruitment in Solano County. We need to be proactive and strategic in taking steps to protect major employers and the county’s core economic base (e.g., agriculture and Travis Airforce Base). We also need to prioritize the implementation of key strategies like addressing infrastructure issues such as power grid reliability, the lack of shovel ready sites, and workforce development to name a few. All of this needs to happen while ensuring we continue to protect open space and agriculture… to preserve the best, evolve and innovate the rest. As a leadership strategist and organizational effectiveness professional, I have a long history of working with leaders to reduce silos, create alignment, improve processes, and establish metrics for progress against stated goals. I will use my skills, experience and expertise to work with other community leaders in a coherent, coordinated effort to increase economic development throughout the county.

3. Thirty years of county-related community service experience combined with my education, expertise, and history of bringing people together to solve problems and affect positive change makes me uniquely qualified to serve as a county supervisor. I began my career as an academic counselor at CSU San Bernardino, a youth counselor for youth in a low- income, high crime, under resourced community, before working as a social worker in Child Protective Services (CPS) in Tuolumne County. I left CPS to become a manager of a child abuse and neglect prevention program, providing services to families involved with the Child Welfare Services (CWS) system. During that time I co-founded and led a peri-natal multi-disciplinary team to help at-risk pregnant and parenting families, co-founded a perinatal multi-disciplinary annual professional conference, was a pre-service PRIDE trainer for foster parents and in-service trainer, a Bruce Perry Safe from the Start trainer to educate parents and caregivers on the impact of violence on a child’s developing brain, and a U.C. Davis Center for Excellence trainer in early childhood. I led the development of a parenting teens educational curriculum and led the transformation of the Prevent Child Abuse Tuolumne County, as its chairwoman. In 2005, I joined the Office of Family Violence Prevention (OFVP) in Solano County. During my two years with OFVP, I developed and nurtured community relationships, led strategic planning efforts for the Solano Partnership Against Violence (SPAV), the Child Abuse Prevention Council, and Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA). I established an Elder Death Review Team, a domestic violence response pocketbook briefing training for law enforcement and was a co-facilitator of the Faith-Based Response to Domestic Violence where together with Pastor Willie Graham I traveled across the country to provide training and technical assistance to community-based organizations. Under the direction of then County Supervisor Mike Reagan, I worked with Stephen Pierce to recruit community members and facilitated the process for the establishment of the Senior Coalition of Solano County, an advisory board to the Solano County Board of Supervisors. Throughout most of my career, I had a small consulting practice. In 2007, I decided to open my consulting business full-time and became the consultant to the Senior Coalition. In that role, at the suggestion of John Vasquez, I worked with the Senior Coalition to develop the Centenarian Commemoration which honored over 100 centenarians over the past 17 years. Under my leadership, we created the Living Legacy Awards, and the Fall Prevention Partnership for which I personally secured the funds to start the first fall prevention program in Solano County. I started the award-winning Mini-Medical School, the Dynamic Aging Conference, and co- founded the Senior Poverty work, partnering with Justice in Aging to develop a video on Senior Women in Poverty that used as an advocacy tool in Congress and at the State Legislature, leading then Assemblymember Cheryl Brown to champion better resources for seniors. My work in social services eventually led to my interest in helping organizations better serve their communities, and to my professional interest in growing leadership. Today, I am a leadership strategist, executive coach, and organizational effectiveness professional working with corporations and organizations across the country to make their organizations more effective, productive, impactful, and a better place to work. I have been a fierce community advocate, addressing issues pertaining to poverty, equity, transportation, public health and safety, disaster preparedness, older adults, fraud prevention, violence prevention, women/children and families, small businesses, and strengthening the non-profit sector which serves as the frontline defense for many social and environmental issues. I wrote the successful $6 million grant to establish a Jail to Community transition program in Solano County, which aimed to reduce recidivism among non-violent offenders and get them off the streets. I’ve led more than a dozen transportation summits for seniors and people with disabilities, creating better transit access, as well as worked on pedestrian safety.

In addition, I

• Started the wildfire preparedness work in the county in 2019; • Co-founded the Green Valley Fire Safe Council, and serve as its President; • Wrote two successful CAL FIRE grants securing $1.5M in funds to reduce wildfire risk, and am currently overseeing that work; • Led the first countywide WildFire Safety Expo in partnership with the Green Valley and Pleasants Valley Fire Safe councils; • Developed an evacuation door hanger with critical information on how to survive a wildfire; • Launched the first Community Chipping Program and Free Green Waste events designed to reduce wildfire risks; • Held emergency preparedness events; • Am a founding member of the Solano Fire Safe Council; • Co-founder, and first chair, of the Solano Commission for Women and Girls; • I led the research and development of the Status Report on Women and Girls in Solano County with members of the SCWG Commission; • Am a founding member and current Board member of 100 Women Who Carel• Am a Board member of the Fairfield Community Services Foundation;• Served as a member the Measure P Oversight Committee in the City of Fairfield from 2014-2020, chairing the Committee for four years; • Co-founded the Volunteer Center of Solano County; • Helped launch Solano’s first Give Local Campaign; • Served as a Board member and an interim board president for a low-income senior apartment complex; • Helped build the capacity of micro-financed farmers, women greenhouse associations, indigenous women artisans in the Dominican Republic, Honduras, and Guatemala; • Developed a strategic plan for the Institute of Nature and Environmental Studies in the Dominican Republic.

I recognize that in order to meet the needs of the community, leaders must be given the tools and resources they need to create vibrant organizational cultures and engage employees in executing mission critical activities. I have been recognized for my work in the community with numerous awards, including being recognized as Sen. Bill Dodd’s Woman of the Year in 2017, Woman of the Year by Congressman John Garamendi in 2018, Travis Air Force Base Hometown Hero in 2019, Congressional Commendation from Congressman John Garamendi in 2016, a Community Champion by The Leaven in 2014, and given the Local’s Choice Business Award, and Florence Douglas Center’s Community Partner awards. My work on the Mini-Medical School: Aging with Vitality earned Solano County the California State Association of Counties Merit Award. I am a Leadership Strategist, Executive Coach, and Organizational Effectiveness consultant helping transform boards, leaders, teams, and organizations by reducing silos, creating alignment, and fostering healthy organizational cultures where employees at all levels are valued, engaged, and have the opportunity to grow and apply their talents, expertise and passion to the workplace. I have my doctorate from The George Washington University in Human and Organizational Learning and Development, a master’s in Psychology and Organizational Development from Sonoma State University, and a bachelor’s degree in Sociology from CSU Stanislaus. My comprehensive background, academic expertise, small business ownership, and decades of grassroots community service, positions me as an ideal candidate for Solano County Supervisor. With a proven track record of dedicated service and a vision for a better, more inclusive community, I am committed to bringing positive change to Solano County, and have a long list of accomplishments to prove I will be able to do so.

1. TRUST. What happens After the Vote? District 2 needs a Supervisor that voters can trust to act in the best interest of Current Residents. The current supervisor and the other candidate both have developer ties. So many decisions are made to help friends and deep pocket developers (often out of state). Loopholes are being used to help get approvals for projects while fully aware of the hardship that they inflict on existing residents. That has to stop. I will act in the best interest of Residents. My campaign is self funded and does not include endorsements.

2. California Forever has become the most important issue. Many people are collaborating to promote the candidate that will approve CA Forever. Currently we have one Supervisor that favors CA Forever and one that is against it. Two more candidates with Yes positions is the goal of the collaborators. I have a NO position on CA Forever. CA Forever is trying to take away a portion of our taxes to serve them. We are still waiting on a number of infrastructure improvements. Why let the billionaires take our tax dollars away? Second most important issue is the coming Solano County General Plan Update. Most elected people have government experience and lack an understanding of the private sector, I will add that experience and knowledge to help Solano County craft a plan and the policies needed for a strong and vibrant future.

3. Qualification: I understand economics, construction, land development, and finances. I understand both city and county governments and know the policies that are causing problems. Candidates with only government centric experience only see situations from a government lens. We need a more comprehensive understanding of our economy to help craft a plan that fits our Solano values: Economic growth while preserving our valuable agricultural assets and preserving open space. I decided to run for this position because the other candidates are about helping their friends even if it hurts the Voters. Please vote for me. I will look out for Residents who already live here. We should be first class residents where we live. Why give rich developers (most not living in Solano County) preferential treatment?

A VISION FOR A BETTER FUTURE

Solano County is a beautiful place to live, full of wonderful diversity, incredible talent, passion, and natural resources.  However, we have some serious issues we must address. Issues of public safety, housing, and the cost of living, among others. 

Now, more than ever, we need to build cross-jurisdictional partnerships and engage the community to solve today’s challenges together. 

Now is the time to re-engage the community and come together to develop workable solutions. I will work to re-establish opportunities for you to provide input into the issues you care about. I will work to re-establish advisory boards that the Board of Supervisors recently dissolved and bring the public back to the table as a real partner in addressing key issues and challenges and creating a better future for all.    

I have a long and successful history of bringing people together in a collaborative effort to identify the needs and gaps, and develop meaningful, high-impact solutions.   

Together, let's preserve the best of Solano while innovating and evolving the rest.  

                                        ~~~~~~~~

With 30 years in as a grass-roots community leader and volunteer, Sherlock has worked with others to improve quality of life for youth, women, families, and seniors. Together they've reduced recidivism among non-violent offenders, improved transit access, addressed poverty, increased opportunities for youth, improved disaster preparedness, reduced wildfire risk, and more.
