"Monica Martinez, CEO of Encompass Community Services and a Felton resident, has both the experience and the vision to become an effective advocate for the district and we recommend her election," writes the Sentinel Editorial Board. "She’s running along with three other candidates. All bring impressive resumes to the campaign, but none come close to Martinez’s track record, which also includes a stint heading up homeless services in Santa Cruz County."
"We're losing our young generation in voting because they are just fed up with what they're seeing," said 5th District Santa Cruz County Board of Supervisors candidate Theresa Bond. "We've got to run a contest that shows them that democracy works and that their voice is being heard."
Guard Kendric Davis scored a team-high 23 points and the Santa Cruz Warriors knocked off the Long Island Nets 98-90 in the teams' NBA G League game at Kaiser Permanente Arena on Monday.

For the Sentinel Editorial Board, that means extended interview sessions with candidates for local offices, along with public officials’ advocating for new taxes, or advocates for and against a Santa Cruz measure that could constrain future housing development.
