Retired Orange County Fire Captain Joe Kerr announced his campaign for Orange County’s 5th Supervisorial District. Incumbent Supervisor Lisa Bartlett is prevented from seeking another term due to term limits. Kerr currently represents portions of Orange County on the California Regional Water Quality Control Board.
In announcing his campaign, Joe Kerr releases the following statement:
“One of the most important skills you learn fighting fires is that in high-risk situations you have to slow down and concentrate on what matters. The more dangerous the situation, the more important it is to stay focused on the task at hand. Right now, economic recovery is the crisis that needs sustained, focused leadership. On the Board of Supervisors, I’ll fight to support our local businesses as they work to restore jobs and rebuild our economy. There is nothing Orange County residents cannot accomplish if we work together, and I believe that I have the experience to help our communities at this unique time.
