Supporting Orozco for supervisor
You probably won’t see a lot of those huge campaign signs for Ashley Orozco on private property owned by wealthy landowners/farmers, real estate developers, large corporate law firms, or supported by the fossil fuel industry. That’s because Ashley does not take money from any of those organizations. She is a candidate that represents the hard-working everyday person like you and me.
Her priorities: protecting open space, clean air and the local economy; review budgets, clean out waste with emphasis on holding families together and supporting local businesses; strengthening health and social services; spending smarter for a stronger future; developing modern solutions to address affordability; taking a hands-on transparent approach to solving problems, using data and listening to residents; emphasizing transparency and responsiveness to constituents; an investing in skilled workers to build a strong community.
Ashley Orozco is a hard-working public servant who engages collaboratively and effectively and has an eye for the future of all of Ventura County.
These are just a few reasons why I am supporting Ashley Orozco for Ventura County Supervisor, District 2. To learn more about Ashley, please visit voteorozco.com.

Perryman will get results
I am the owner of Mandel Construction Management. For 32 years, I’ve helped property owners deliver projects across our region — from tenant improvements to full commercial buildouts.
And no matter the jurisdiction, the same problems persist: disjointed permitting, inconsistent requirements and varied interpretations of code requirements, and costly delays that hurt businesses and families.
Recently, one of my projects — a new local small business with 20 employees — ran straight into that dysfunction. These professionals had already left their prior locations and were ready to open. Then, due to internal miscommunication, we were suddenly facing a two-week delay.
That’s not just inconvenient — that’s 20 people unable to work and earn a living.
We needed help fast, so we called Mark Perryman.
Mark immediately stepped in, knew exactly who to contact, and within hours we had a re-inspection scheduled, clear guidance, and a path forward. Because of Mark, that business opened on time.
In three decades in this business, I’ve worked with countless public agencies and leaders. It is rare to find someone who not only understands how government works, but who can cut through the red tape and actually get results.
Mark Perryman is that kind of leader.
If you care about supporting small businesses, improving efficiency, and having a county that works for its residents — not against them — Mark is the right choice.
