Moving San Benito County forward...

One of my most visible accomplishments during my term in office has been establishing a County Clerk - Auditor - Recorder - Registrar of Voters web site at no cost to county taxpayers. For the first time in San Benito County history, election results can now be viewed from the comfort of your own home in real-time as the results come in at http://results.sbcvote.us.
