"I've known Kirsten for eighteen years, since she first served on the San Mateo County Commission on the Status of Women. Kirsten has a long track record of working to address the needs of women and families all across the County. She is passionate and dedicated. I know she'll make an excellent Supervisor for San Mateo County"

Mary Griffin, Past President, San Mateo County Board of Supervisors

"I got to know Kirsten during the eight years she served as a commissioner for San Mateo County. Public safety is the second largest portion of the County budget, and Kirsten has been working in the justice system for twenty years. More than any other candidate, Kirsten understands the public safety issues facing San Mateo County, and will protect our quality of life."

Mike Nevin, Past President, San Mateo County Board of Supervisors

"The Sierra Club is pleased to endorse Kirsten Keith's candidacy for Supervisor because she understands the challenges and opportunities San Mateo County faces from climate change and scarce resources. We need strong environmental leaders, like Keith, to ensure our parks remain open, our residents have healthy places to live and our communities thrive."

Melissa Hippard, Former Director, Sierra Club Loma Prieta Chapter

"Kirsten's eight years of experience on Menlo Park City Council and Planning Commission will be invaluable as the County struggles to make difficult cuts to balance the budget, while identifying opportunities and resources to fuel the economy to create new jobs. Kirsten will bring a thoughtful and balanced approach to these and other challenges facing San Mateo County."

John Boyle, Former Mayor Pro Tem, City of Menlo Park
