I will promote smart growth, protect open space, fight traffic, oppose new taxes, and lead reforms to streamline county government and spur employment.

As a small-business owner who's locally employed hundreds of people and has been active in community affairs for 24 years, I know our issues well and have a record of accomplishments in Cameron Park and El Dorado Hills.

Elected to the El Dorado Irrigation District's Board, I've taken actions that have enhanced our water quality, bolstered cash reserves, improved EID's ratings on Wall Street and saved ratepayers millions.

In fact, EID's independent auditor said, "As far as being in impeccable financial condition...the numbers prove that you are."

I've also co-led reforms on our County's Board of Education.

As your Supervisor, my leadership will also ensure that neighborhood safety, and facilities and services for our youth and seniors are not ignored.

I'm endorsed by many community leaders and organizations.

"Harry Norris has a long history in our community...His specific actions in public office and in his business have demonstrated system-wide insight and exceptionally strong personal ethics, well beyond customarily expected standards." -- El Dorado Hills Citizens Alliance
