Joan Hartmann in June

I will be supporting Joan Hartmann in the June primary because she has chosen jobs and worked with organizations that contribute to making life healthier and safer for people.

While working for the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), which “protects Americans from significant risks to human health,” Joan worked on Safe Drinking Water and Clean Water Act cases. She also prosecuted coal companies that polluted streams with acid draining from abandoned mine sites.

With the dangers posed by drinking water in Flint, the gas leaks at Porter Ranch, and oil transport in Santa Barbara, I intend to vote for someone who has a history of working to protect public health: Hartmann for Supervisor.
