Baron Browning Candidates Statement
As Mayor of Anderson, it has been one of my greatest privileges to serve a community that has created the person I am today. After finishing my time in the Marine Corps, Shasta County was where I chose to raise my family, start a business, and develop lasting relationships with many of you whom I now consider my closest friends. I ran for Anderson City Council after observing the problems that our city faced firsthand. I made a commitment to work with you and develop solutions to the problems we faced. We did just that. I have worked with other council members as your council representative to make Anderson one of the greatest places to live in California. Now, I present myself to a greater audience, with the same commitments I made when I first ran eight years ago. I am asking you to work with me to address the same issues we have solved before, but now on a larger scale. As a family man, a business owner, and a marine who will be a voice to our veterans, I am ready to serve you.

Chris Kelstrom Candidate Statement
I was born and raised in Shasta County. As a Shasta County native, I attended local schools including Enterprise and Shasta College. In 1987 I managed my first business in Anderson and moved to Cottonwood in 1988 which is still home today. I spent 14 years in business management and in 2001 managed a business in Happy Valley. I would like to bring that business experience to the Board of Supervisors. For the past 20 years I have focused on customer service in my current career. I would like to bring that experience to our county departments as a supervisor. I am a director on the Cottonwood Chamber of Commerce and I was a shop steward for the Teamsters. I am a life member of the NRA and a member of the California Rifle and Pistol Association. As a Shasta County native I love this county and would like to return the power back to “ We the People” where it belongs. I am not a career politician and if elected I will push for term limits for our supervisors. I would be honored to earn your vote for Shasta County Supervisor.
