Meet Bernita
My name is Bernita Jenkins. For most of my life, I have lived in Kern County and in the 2nd District. Our District deserves a representative who listens to all the residents with a focus on building a better future. I have been working to build a fairer and better future for the Kern County Community my entire life. Over the past twenty-five years I have served the Kern County community in the following capacities:
· Elected member of the Greenfield Union School District 2000
· Appointed member of the Kern County Human Relations Commission
· Appointed to the Kern County Economic Development Commission
· Appointed member of the Kern Health Systems governing board
· Internal Organizer for SEIU 521
· Labor Representative for California Nurses Association.
Through this service I have worked on campaigns, protests, and initiatives to spotlight the most important issues to working people. I am not an establishment candidate for either party. In my elected or appointed positions, I have worked solely for the people of Kern County.
I focus on combating homelessness, supporting public safety, and reducing County waste.
It is time for a change in Kern County. For too long, the local establishment has put forward candidates who are not interested in moving this County forward. For too long, the concerns of minorities, women, and working people have been ignored. It is time to change the dynamics of the Board of Supervisors and give a voice to silenced segments of Kern County.
In this nonpartisan race, I am running against five men. Our Supervisor must serve all the people of the 2nd District. To win this election, we must maximize turnout among voters who are committed to building a stronger community, and to do this, I need your help!
This is a short-term seat of two years due to the sudden vacancy, and the election is on November 5. Time is of the essence. We must have the needed resources now to ensure that we can compete. With your help, we can shock Kern County and set a foundation for future candidates to build on our success.
Please help me change this narrative by supporting my campaign today!
