“I’ve known David since his time serving on the Petaluma City Council. Since his election to the Board of Supervisors, David has delivered for Petaluma and Southern Sonoma County by prioritizing road repairs, being our advocate for the Highway 101 widening, supporting the dredging of the Petaluma River, and more. David puts words into action, and is my choice for 2nd District Supervisor.”
Dave King, Petaluma City Councilmember

“No one has worked harder or got more done for Sonoma County than Supervisor David Rabbitt. He is widely viewed as the Board of Supervisors’ most steady and stable hand, and has delivered for all of us, not only on agricultural issues, but also on issues including road repair and improvement projects, public transportation, housing and so much more. When I think of someone who gets things done for Sonoma County, David Rabbitt is the first person that comes to mind. We need his proven leadership on the Board of Supervisors now more than ever.”
Marilyn Herzog, 3rd Generation Petaluma Dairy Farmer

“David Rabbitt has been an exceptional member of the Sonoma County Board of Supervisors, and always puts our community first. As a longtime Petaluma resident, I’ve watched David deliver for Petaluma and surrounding areas time and time again, making meaningful progress on the issues that matter most to us. David doesn’t just talk about the issues that matter to earn votes; he has the track record to prove he’s delivering. Join me in re-electing David Rabbitt to the Board of Supervisors.”
Todd Mendoza, Petaluma Resident and Realtor

“I’ve known David for many years, and he has always been an accessible, approachable leader who works tirelessly for Sonoma County. He understands business; he’s the leading voice on sound fiscal policies and investments on the Board of Supervisors; and put simply, he delivers for Sonoma County. David is the steady hand we need on the Board of Supervisors – please join me in re-electing him this June.”
Sheila Bride, Petaluma Business Owner

“David Rabbitt has been an outstanding representative on the Sonoma County Board of Supervisors. He listens, thinks about the well-being of mom-and-pop businesses like mine, and especially in the time of COVID, wants to ensure that county policies do not jeopardize the well-being of our small business community. I’ve been pleased with David’s leadership during his time on the Board, and will be supporting his re-election as our 2nd District Supervisor.”
Luis Flores, Downtown Petaluma Restaurant Owner

“I support David Rabbitt for Supervisor due to his unwavering leadership to Sonoma County. His prudent fiscal management during the Great Recession when he took office, to his concern and care for residents and businesses during the pandemic is paramount. David always thinks about the diverse constituencies he services and has proved over and over again that he is able to get things done in an orderly and fair way for Sonoma County.”
Judith Hillery, Petaluma Resident and Retired Nurse (R.N.)

“David is the only candidate in this race who is a father, family man and someone who has served both our community and our youth. His public service transcends politics; for years, he was a youth sports coach and PTA President before serving on the Petaluma City Council and now, the Board of Supervisors. Having a diverse perspective, coupled with proven leadership on the challenges facing working people and families is critical; for these reasons and more, I’m voting to re-elect David Rabbitt as our 2nd District Supervisor.”
Ed Gilardi, Retired Trustee and Board President, Cotati-Rohnert Park Unified School District

“I believe David Rabbitt is the most analytical and hard-working member of the Board of Supervisors. When it comes to critical budgetary or policy matters, I know David has done his homework, carefully reviews what’s before him, and asks the tough questions to make informed decisions. As someone who has followed local politics for decades, I know David Rabbitt is the real deal and someone I can trust to put our community first and make decisions with Sonoma County’s best interests close to heart.”
Linda Garcia, Cotati Resident and Founding Member of Latino Service Providers 

“When it comes to policymaking, Supervisor David Rabbitt is someone I trust to fully analyze what’s put before him, listen to the public, ask the tough questions and make an informed decision. Even if we don’t always agree, I support David Rabbitt because I know the well-being of our community and the future of Sonoma County is foremost on his mind.  It is this kind of leadership: one rooted in sound policy and people, not politics, that we need on the Board of Supervisors.”
Pat Gilardi, Sonoma County Planning Commissioner and Former Mayor of Cotati

“I support David Rabbitt for Supervisor because he is engaged and focused on the well-being of locally-owned small businesses like mine. David used to own his own small business, and has a unique understanding on the challenges facing the small businesses that are the backbone of our local economy.”
Mercedes Hernandez, Cotati Business Owner

“Supervisor David Rabbitt has always been someone I can count on to pick up the phone, listen and work with us to address city-county issues. Whether it be infrastructure improvements, the environment, housing or redistricting, David Rabbitt has demonstrated a spirit of collaboration rooted in getting things done…he is exactly the kind of representative we need on the Board of Supervisors.”
Pam Stafford, Rohnert Park City Councilmember and former Mayor

“David Rabbitt has been an outstanding Supervisor. He has always been accessible to us, has a unique understanding of the challenges facing local businesses, and wants to do what he can to aide in our success. David has unparalleled knowledge of our local economy, our infrastructure, and the inner workings of each community he serves. His real-world experience, coupled with his accomplishments as our Supervisor, are invaluable.”
Brad Baker, CEO, SOMO Group in Rohnert Park

“David has been a strong ally and advocate for the needs of Rohnert Park residents as our County Supervisor. Since joining the City Council, David has been approachable and accessible to me and my colleagues by listening, understanding and seeking to facilitate solutions to the challenges we face. I know David will remain a strong advocate for Rohnert Park on the Board of Supervisors.”
Susan Hollingsworth Adams, Rohnert Park City Councilmember
