Letter: ​Bonnie Hauser for county commissioner

TO THE EDITOR:

I am excited that Bonnie Hauser is willing to put her excellent problem-solving skills and management experience to work for the betterment of our community.

Bonnie is running for county commissioner in District 2, and although I live outside her district, I’m very pleased that she could earn a seat at the table. I trust Bonnie’s judgment.

A former partner at the global research and investing firm PricewaterhouseCoopers, Bonnie retired to Orange County more than 12 years ago to live close to her family. She immediately began volunteering in the schools and with Big Brothers Big Sisters, where she was recruited to the board. A longtime advocate for local social justice and racial equity issues, she also serves on the board of the Northern Orange County NAACP.

Bonnie draws on her professional experience to work on community issues, using best practices to find the best solutions. With her engaging style, she brings together various groups to work collaboratively on goals and challenges so everyone understands differing perspectives.

On the technical side, Bonnie understands what budget numbers are saying and recognizes how commissioners’ decisions affect our community. Bonnie thinks things through and brings a fresh approach to leadership.

We need Bonnie Hauser on the Orange County Board of Commissioners. Vote for her on March 15.
