General Election Campaign Kick Off

You're Invited! Join us to Kick Off Supervisor Candidate Melanie Bagby's General Election Campaign

In the beautiful Alexander Valley in Geyserville, at the historic Alexander Valley Community Hall

Come to an inspiring event where we launch Melanie's campaign as the frontrunner in the District 4 Board of Supervisors race.

Enjoy delicious local food and wine, and learn about how we can protect Sonoma County from the Trump Administration's constant assaults. Network, meet new allies, and be part of the conversation about how we need to work together to win in November.

This event will bring together community leaders, sitting policymakers, and dedicated volunteers to celebrate the journey we're on together.

Melanie is THE ONLY DEMOCRAT running for the seat, and is facing a well-funded former Republican who recently converted to "decline to state." This is a non-partisan race, but it is clear which party stands up for Sonoma County, our water, civilian oversight of law enforcement, affordability, and open space protections and enhancements. If we want to see a pro-environment, progressive majority on our Board of Supervisors, Melanie must win this race.

Please c lick here to sponsor this event and her campaign. Sponsorships start at $250.00, with a campaign-aggregated maximum of $3,800.00. Every dollar helps! Even if you cannot attend, please sponsor as you are able. The event has a suggested sliding-scale ticket price of $25.00–$100.00, which can be paid by clicking here or at the door. No one turned away for lack of funds.

This is your chance to ask questions, share concerns about issues affecting our community, and discuss our shared vision for Sonoma County. Melanie brings the experience we need.
