Enough Public Employee Union controlled Supervisors. Just say no to special interest. Take back our government.
So who wrote this article? It looks like the same one that AnaMarie wrote for herself on her own website.
It’s a press release
I’m voting for whoever supports cannabis, which is who?
This woman is a sociopath and a liar. Martinez can’t wait to get rid of her. At one point they were going to recall her, but it’s cheaper to vote her out. Vote no Farias for Supervisor or the Martinez city council seat she’ll try to get when that fails. She doesn’t have a clue to what’s going on, bullies staff and will say whatever. She can’t even keep up with her own delusional lies. Even if you don’t like Federal, Farias is the Sarah Palin of Contra Costa County.
