San Mateo County’s Supervisorial District Lines Advisory Committee

The Board of Supervisors created the nine-member District Lines Advisory Committee after voters changed the County Charter in November 2012. The change requires that only voters within a district can elect a supervisor who lives in that same district to represent them. Under the prior system voters countywide elected all five supervisors. San Mateo County’s Supervisorial District Lines Advisory Committee is meeting in Half Moon Bay to go over the redrawn political boundaries. The meeting is set for 6:30 p.m. Sept. 11, at the Cunha Intermediate School library, 600 Church St., Half Moon Bay.
