Political Notes: Lesbian San Mateo supervisor candidate Parmer-Lohan starts 2022 in strong position
With two high-profile endorsements and a sizeable campaign war chest, lesbian San Mateo County supervisor candidate Laura Parmer-Lohan is starting 2022 in a strong position.
The San Carlos city councilmember is vying to become the first out woman to serve on the county board, its lone LGBTQ member, and the first mother on it in recent memory.
She is one of four candidates who have pulled papers to seek the seat on the June 7 primary ballot. If no one captures more than 50% of the vote then the top two vote-getters will square off on the November ballot.
Supervisor Don Horsley is termed out of his District 3 seat on the board, which sprawls from the coastal towns along Highway 1 to the suburban cities of Atherton, San Carlos, and parts of Menlo Park and Belmont.
