Mary Hobbs
Occupation: Health Educator

Education & Qualifications:

Master's in Public Health - work in health care. The Mid Coast Community
Council serves in an advisory capacity to the County Board of Supervisors, so
communication with the Supervisors about important issues on the midcoast is
essential. There are many steps the council can take to be more persuasive with
the Supervisors. I am ready to bring my political experience to a seat on the
Mid Coast Council to make our opinions and needs clearly heard and respected in
Redwood City.

I've attended most of the MCC meetings since its inception, usually behind the
MCTV camera. I have served in a volunteer capacity as the coastal field
representative for a member of the Board of Supervisors for 5 years, sharing
facts and the spectrum of opinions voiced at meetings. Since 1983 I've
volunteered with Sierra Club to protect our coast, being involved to some
extent with every major planning / environmental issue on the coast. I know how
to positively effect the County process and how to communicate with county
officials. I hope you will give me the opportunity to lend my experience and
energy to protecting our very special environment and our wonderful small-town
quality of life.
