Vision. Leadership. Service.
I’m running for re-election to help lead SLO County through some of the most troubling times we’ve experienced in years. We face unprecedented challenges in every one of our communities – at the same time, we have exciting new opportunities to improve the lives of all residents.
In more than 15 years in office, I’ve been proud to work with community stakeholders and public agencies to see remarkable projects accomplished:
- new branch libraries in Atascadero and Cambria,
- a safe parking program to help alleviate street camping,
- increased sheriff’s patrols throughout the district,
- acquisition of Dog Beach,
- progress toward more public open space on the Chevron property across Highway 1 from Dog Beach,
- successful financing efforts to restore the Cayucos Veterans Hall,
- the Los Osos sewer completed,
- the Cayucos Pier restored, and
- new bridges and trails developed, to name a few.
Our accomplishments are many. Our future is bright.
Let’s not let up now. Let’s keep the progress going, defend our quality of life, and make this exceptional place the best it can be.
I would be honored to have your vote.

Gibson is realistic and forward-thinking, evidenced by his four terms in office. He has specific policies that we support, from approvals streamlining to pre-approved ADU plans, and we are eager to work with him as he continues to move the needle on housing. If re-elected, we also hope to see stronger support of state laws that can take these changes to regional levels, to the benefit of not only SLO but our neighboring counties.
SLO County YIMBY
I have lived in SLO County for about 55 years, served 7 years as the Assistant Auditor- Controller, and I served 22 years as the elected Auditor-Controller. I believe that Bruce Gibson may be the smartest and hardest working county supervisor that we have ever had. Mr. Gibson has a long record of working on behalf of poor and middle-class taxpayers, while being sensitive to the needs for vibrant profitable businesses. He is a champion of our beautiful environment. He has shown prudent balanced leadership in so many ways, including carefully protecting the tight county budget, a matter both he and I believe is imperative.

CPA (ret.), SLO County Auditor-Controller (ret.), Current Elected Treasurer, City of Atascadero
Gibson has proven himself to be a smart, hard-working, dedicated supervisor capable of seeing projects through to completion. Equally important, he has been a voice for the tens of thousands of county residents who feel ignored by the board majority.

You have always been accessible to discuss and respond to any issues of concerns for our community… You are very proactive with finding solutions to our ever more increasing needs of our unhoused population, childcare, and affordable housing to name a few. We need someone with your compassion, experience, understanding of how county government works to remain our District 2 Supervisor. With all the complicated issues and concerns facing our coastal area, now is not the time to replace you with someone less knowledgeable of these concerns and without the extensive experience you have with the county, the needs of your constituents, and the experience to achieve the best solutions to these issues.
Karen Dean
Cambria Community Services District, Director
I strongly support Supervisor Gibson’s re-election because of his advocacy for affordable housing. The issue of housing and homelessness is a complex, multi-faceted, problem that plagues our cites and county. Mr. Gibson has a track record that shows his commitment to working toward solutions.

City of Grover Beach, Councilmember
…not a single one of these three challengers has anything close to the wealth of experience, knowledge and longstanding relationships with key officials at local, state and federal levels that Gibson brings to the table.

I have respected Bruce Gibson for over 20 years. Bruce sees the big picture and so should you. Reelect Bruce this June.
Dave Howell

We need a leader who will continue to listen and stand up for the values and needs of the community they represent. I believe Bruce Gibson has proven that he is the right person for this job.

I enthusiastically endorse Bruce Gibson for Supervisor!
I’ve had the pleasure of serving on regional committees with Bruce, and I know first hand that he is a passionate, pragmatic and effective leader. He is a mainstay in environmental stewardship and a relentless advocate for equity and social justice. He has a wise, disciplined approach to economic development and a fierce commitment to fiscal responsibility. We are fortunate indeed to have Bruce Gibson as Supervisor.

City of San Luis Obispo, Councilmember
As a Community Special District Board member within District 2, I have a deep appreciation for the considerable energy and principled commitment Bruce Gibson brings to his constituents every day. In interactions with Supervisor Gibson, I have always found him responsive to issues and ready with suggestions as well as needed conduits to other interfacing agencies at the County and State levels. Although a formidable problem solver, his most effective attribute is visualization. Having those characteristics in our representative at the county level is invaluable. He has my active support for continuing as a resilient advocate for District 2 North Central Coast needs, as a whole, and our Special Districts specifically.
Cindy Steidel, Director

I strongly support Bruce Gibson — rational, dedicated intelligence, working on your behalf for the important issues
facing our County — climate change, housing, water, transportation, and many more.
