Statement of ELLEN PIRIE
Candidate for County Supervisor, 2nd District
County of Santa Cruz
Occupation: Senior Citizens’ Attorney
Age: 49
Education and Qualifications: The Second Supervisorial District stretches from Capitola
through Aptos, Rio Del Mar, La Selva, and Corralitos to Watsonville. It is a widely varied district
linked by a number of challenges. We need to:
 | ease traffic congestion |
| balance growth while protecting our beautiful environment |
| provide basic neighborhood services |
| develop good-paying jobs and |
| help our kids receive a good education. |
As your County Supervisor I would bring twenty-three years experience in the law - primarily as the
Directing Attorney of a non-profit law office serving area seniors, Senior Citizens Legal
Services. I have worked with a wide variety of people and I have developed the ability to bring people together
to solve problems.
My husband, Terry Hancock, and I have lived in the district for sixteen years. We have four children
ranging in age from eleven to twenty-one – all of whom have attended Aptos area schools and
have played on local sports teams.
I want to use my experience, my skills and my connection to the district to make sure we leave our
children an area that is a safe, healthy and beautiful environment. We can work together to make
this happen. I respectfully ask for your vote on March 7th.
