I am Autumn Andahl, a candidate for District 2 Calaveras Supervisor. I have a great love, a sense of pride, and a deep understanding of the history, traditions, and values of our rural ways of life here in Calaveras County. I am running for supervisor because I have the experience required to work collaboratively and effectively to preserve the quality of life we enjoy in District 2 and improve it for the next generation.  

I am a candidate for the community with a common sense middle-of-the-road approach. I have been advocating for D2 officially since 2008. If elected, I will continue advocating for the schools and youth of District 2, supporting our first responders and expanding our fire preparedness. I will ensure that all property owners have the knowledge and resources they need to take ownership of their land management. I will work to make fire insurance affordable and workforce housing more available.   I will support and encourage all economic development opportunities in our county. I will support the completion of the animal shelter and continue supporting parks and community centers.  I want to bolster our vocational & trade programs at our local high schools and streamline career pathways with nearby community colleges and local businesses.

If elected Supervisor, I will continue to be present in D2 daily. My priorities will grow as I listen to and learn about your priorities. I am running as one of you to represent the District 2 population at the county level, ensuring that your voices and needs are heard, acknowledged, and Honored. I do not enter this race with a political agenda or lofty promises to fix the shortcomings of those who have served before me. I enter it as a public servant going to work for you. I enter it as a lifelong community member with knowledge and experience stretching beyond just one specific industry. I  have a unique ability to build relationships and connections and work well with many people to solve complicated issues. District 2  Supervisor will be my only full-time job. I’m not here to point fingers, make accusations, and tear others down.  I’m here to collaborate and unite people to be productive, complete projects, solve problems, and progress. I look forward to building my team with inclusion at the forefront with constituents across all walks of life, political affiliations, and areas of D2.

While our existing Strategic Plan, General Plan, and Community Plans serve as goals and guidelines, our climate and needs are ever-changing. I will work to ensure our objectives are relevant, reflective, and aligned with the visions of our communities. This is where you all are essential - as a supervisor; I will be working for you - Your input and guidance will ensure that these plans are created and implemented by and for the people. I will communicate with my constituents through regular office hours, community meetings and events, and online. I would be honored to represent you on the Calaveras Board of Supervisors.
