Bruce McPherson Represents District 5 on the Santa Cruz County
Board of Supervisors. He has also served as a California
Secretary of State and a State Senator.
Like many counties throughout California, Santa Cruz County is
getting ready for the 2020 Census.
This Census comes at a time when government services play an
increasingly important role in our residents’ lives. Housing
affordability, stagnant wages and rising poverty all weigh
heavily on the prosperity of people in Santa Cruz County. Nearly
one-third of our residents now receive County services of some
kind.
There I was again, on the California State Senate floor – talking
and shaking hands with senators and staff members as they worked
feverishly on Thursday of the last week of the 2017 session to
act on hundreds of bills which needed to be addressed before the
Friday, September 15 midnight deadline.
