Supervisorial candidate to host rally
Rally will be on Jan. 16 from 2-5 p.m.
District 5 Supervisor Candidate Eric Michielssen.
– District 5 Supervisor Candidate Eric Michielssen is hosting a volunteer rally on Saturday, January 16 from 2-5 p.m. at the Atascadero Grange Hall at 5035 Palma Avenue.
Everyone interested in the upcoming supervisorial election, regardless of district or political affiliation, is invited to drop in to meet the candidate, find out about the issues and lend a hand, according to a press release from the Eric Michielssen for Supervisor Committee.
“I was told it costs $180,000 to run a supervisor campaign,” said Michielssen. “There’s something wrong with that. We know people care and want to make a difference. This volunteer rally is a perfect way to prove that you shouldn’t have to spend that much to elect the right person to a non-partisan.”
Volunteers are needed for a variety of tasks; no experience is necessary, just, “a desire to make a positive difference in your community.” Refreshments will be served.
Eric Michielssen is a 50-year San Luis Obispo County resident. A former teacher and realtor, he recently retired from People’s Self Help Housing and now farms in Pozo.
Michielssen will face at least one challenger for the seat, incumbent Debbie Arnold. The Fifth District includes the communities of Atascadero, Cal Poly (portion), California Valley, Creston, Garden Farms, Pozo, San Luis Obispo (portion), Templeton (portion), and Santa Margarita.
