Re-elect Supervisor Lee Lor to keep Merced County on the right track.
About the Position
Each of the 58 counties in California is governed by a five-person board of supervisors. A board of supervisors has legislative and executive power to manage county services and resources, including courts, jails, public health, and public lands. They also have quasi-judicial powers, which gives them the right to hold hearings, conduct investigations, and make decisions in a manner similar to judicial courts. Laws passed by Boards of Supervisors are generally called ordinances. Because counties include both incorporated cities, which are administered by their own city councils and unincorporated areas, which are directly administered by the county, ordinances may or may not apply in different areas of the county. Supervisors are typically limited to three terms, or 12 years in office total.
About the District
Merced County is California's 24th most populous county. Merced County’s Board of Supervisors oversees the needs of approximately 277,680 people and manages an estimated budget of $1.3 million annually. According to the County Charter, Merced is governed by a five-member Board of Supervisors, elected at large for a staggered four-year term in their respective districts. Chairmanship is awarded by election annually.
About the Race
In the primary, incumbent Supervisor Lee Lor led challenger Josh Pedrozo by a margin of 9.5 percent. Sup. Lor’s campaign has raised $29,702 and has not committed to any campaign finance pledges. Pedrozo’s campaign has raised $44,518, is not committed to campaign finance pledges, and is backed by the California Real Estate PAC.
About the Candidate
Sup. Lee Lor, a community organizer, is a Merced County native. According to campaign materials, Sup. Lor is running for re-election to prioritize resident input and build economic capital with transparency, sustainability, and integrity.
Sup. Lee Lor’s priorities for Merced County this term include continuing to develop low-barrier housing and expanding her “People’s Budget,” a participatory program in which residents can engage and decide how to spend a portion of the county budget. Her achievements in office include passing Measure V, an initiative to repair road infrastructure that has surpassed fundraising expectations, incorporating a nonprofit interactive children’s museum, strengthening both economic and educational opportunities in her district, and securing an additional $1 million in library funding. Lor is the first Merced County Supervisor to pay student interns.
Prior to her election to the Board of Supervisors, Sup. Lee Lor served in several positions at the Merced County Office of Education and as a domestic violence/sexual assault advocate at Valley Crisis Center. She has a long track record of accessibility and open communication with the populations she serves.
Sup. Lee Lor is endorsed by many progressive groups in the district and is, according to our analysis, the strongest choice for equitable and representative leadership in office.
