Voters in the Southern Marin Fire Protection District will pick four directors on Nov. 3. Seven people filed and qualified, according to the Marin County Elections Department.
The candidates
The incumbents are Kurt Chun, Cristine Soto DeBerry, Peter Fleming and Thomas W. Perazzo. The challengers, with the occupations they gave the county, are:
- Eric Steinhofer, energy consultant
- Amy Svendberg, small business owner
- Thomas Clark, retired
The Ark reported that an eighth resident, Nicole Foster, took out papers but did not file.
How it works
The race is at-large. Every voter in the district can pick up to four names, and the four candidates with the most votes win. The Ark counts the fire board among eight Tiburon Peninsula contests that drew more candidates than seats.
