Editor,
This November, the San Mateo County supervisor position for District 2 is up for election. Most of us do not fully understand what county supervisors do, even though they oversee a budget of roughly $5 billion and make decisions that directly impact our daily lives through public health, homelessness services, social services, elections, sheriff oversight and more.
Foster City, Belmont and the city of San Mateo fall under District 2. Our current supervisor, Ms. Noelia Corzo, was expected to run unopposed until Mr. Taso Zografos entered the race as a certified write-in candidate. I strongly believe that having choice and opposition is a core part of any healthy democracy, so I was excited to see someone step forward. I recently met Mr. Zografos personally and came away impressed by his understanding of local issues, community involvement, and practical approach to government. A few things that stood out to me were his focus on reducing government waste, improving efficiency, transparency, community input, and serving the entire district.
If Mr. Zografos receives enough support on June 2, he will qualify as a legitimate challenger in the November election. Therefore, I urge District 2 voters to fill in the bubble under “Member – Board of Supervisors, District 2” and write in the name “Taso.” This does not elect him today. It simply gives voters a real choice in November. If you have already turned in your ballot, please request a replacement ballot and write in Taso. For more information: writeintaso.com

Thank you very much for this informative letter. I know of a few people who voted early and wish they had known about Taso beforehand. I've sent them your suggestion about asking for a replacement ballot. Taso has three votes from my household!
