Carleton Endorses Steven Orihuela

From Steven Orihuela, Candidate for Inyo County District 3 Supervisor:

I want to thank Ted Carleton for independently sharing his support for my candidacy in his recent column in The Sheet Newspaper.

Ted and I had the opportunity to run alongside one another during the June primary election for Inyo County District 3 Supervisor, and I truly appreciate his thoughtful words regarding my experience, qualifications, and commitment to serving our district.

In his column, Ted stated, “I’ll be voting Orihuela,” and went on to recognize my educational background, experience in Tribal leadership, and commitment to representing the entire district.

Regardless of where we stood during the primary, I have always believed that public service is about putting our communities first, listening to different perspectives, and working together for the betterment of Inyo County.

Thank you again, Ted, for your kind words and support. It means a great deal coming from someone who also stepped forward to serve our community.
