Leading with Facts, Not Fear: Why Sonoma County Needs a Supervisor Who Shows Up Prepared
Posted by Melanie Bagby for Supervisor · April 16, 2026 12:52 PM

Melanie Bagby Shares Vision for Sonoma County and District 4

Candidates for Sonoma County 4th District supervisor to take voter questions at town hall event
Posted by Emma Murphy · February 02, 2026 9:03 PM

After two terms serving on Cloverdale City Council, Melanie Bagby is aiming for higher office.

Bagby, 57, has announced her plans to run for Sonoma County’s 4th District supervisor seat, becoming the third candidate to enter what is shaping up to be the first competitive race the district has seen in a decade.

Bagby, a former Cloverdale mayor, previously served seven years on the Cloverdale Planning Commission. While a councilmember, she sat on various regional boards including for Sonoma-Marin Area Transit, Sonoma County Transportation Authority/Regional Climate Protection Authority, Sonoma Clean Power and the Russian River Watershed Association.

She’s making that regional experience a central part of her bid to represent the huge 4th District, which stretches from northern Santa Rosa to the Mendocino County line
