Zerrall McDaniel to Run for Calaveras County First District Supervisor
   

   Zerrall McDaniel, a 48-year resident of Calaveras County, has announced she will seek the office of Calaveras County Supervisor from the First District.

   Bill Claudino, the incumbent, last week announced he would not seek re-election for the First District seat that encompasses Burson, San Andreas, Valley Springs and Wallace.

   McDaniel is currently a trustee of the Calaveras Unified School District, first elected to that post in 1999.
   She has been a retail business owner in San Andreas and Valley Springs since 1984 when she founded ShowTime Video.

   In addition, McDaniel is president of the San Andreas Merchants’ Association, president of the Valley Oaks Merchants’ Association in Valley Springs, president of her homeowners association, and co-chair of the citizens group Citizens for San Andreas.

   She has served on the School Site Council for San Andreas Elementary School, Toyon Middle School and Calaveras High School, and was on the CUSD Bond Oversight Committee.

   McDaniel is married and has two children and one grandchild. Her husband, Bruce, is a retired Lodi police officer.

   She says her campaign will focus on the need for hard work and public participation to deal with the problems that have stemmed from poorly planned growth. Those problems include a deteriorating infrastructure, jobs and economic security, and the challenges to citizens stemming from a deteriorating quality of life for seniors and working families.

   “The hole we’ve dug for ourselves is deep, and it will take hard work, commitment, and cooperation to dig ourselves out of it,” she said. “The one thing I can promise is that if I’m elected, I will work as hard as I can to find solutions that are in the best interests of the citizens and taxpayers of the First District and Calaveras County.”
