Stephanie Moulton-Peters, the Marin County Board of Supervisors newest member, was recently sworn in as the District 3 representative for residents in the southern portion of the county.
As a three-term council member for Mill Valley City, Moulton-Peters has previous experience in local government, according to a Marin County press release. During that time, she also served as city mayor three times.
Moulton-Peters secured an overwhelming majority of the votes for her district in November, with 80% of votes cast for her, according to the release. She ran for office stressing “health, equity, and the environment” as her priorities as a politician.
As a city council member, Moulton-Peters was known for her emphasis on wildfire safety and preparedness, streetscape and transportation improvements, and climate change adaptation, according to the release. In the civilian sector, she had approximately 10 years of experience managing environmental regulatory compliance and sustainability programs at Pacific Gas and Electric Company.
“As I adapt to representing Southern Marin on the Board, I will continue to promote responsive, transparent and inclusive local government,” Moulton-Peters said in the release. “I and my staff will be reaching out to our local communities and using creative ways to engage with our residents and businesses to hear what’s on their minds and how we can be of service.”
During the first meeting of the Board of Supervisors on Jan. 5 – which was held online due to COVID-19 restrictions – the board also held a reorganization, appointing Dennis Rodoni, District 4, as board president.
“I am truly honored to be Board President,” Rodoni said in the release. “I know 2021 will continue to test us, but I am confident we are ready and able to meet those challenges. Getting our communities vaccinated will start us on the road to recovery with some stability for our businesses, schools and residents. Recovering and moving forward together, everyone is essential to having a community and county that flourishes.”
