Supervisors, Councilmembers, and Trains

Sonoma County had a primary election two weeks ago and it was a big one.  We have three county supervisors, the majority Santa Rosa city council, and the SMART Train to vote on.  This year is a huge turning point in Sonoma County’s political history.  If we participate and get the right candidates in, we can see some serious change.

Bite the Hand Productions is a collective of artists and activists.  While we do not endorse specific candidates, we totally encourage grassroots participation in our elections from a variety of angles.  Community action and community governance is essential to our mission to feed ourselves.  We need to actively choose and watch the people that represent us.

We ask everyone to register to vote and to ask important questions when considering each candidate in Sonoma County.  These are the people who will be making decisions on  issues such as bike lanes, accounting for police brutality, planning and development, water protection, and loads more.  Who do you want them to be working for?

We will continue writing about local politics as the months go by and we get closer and closer to the November election.
