This morning Sacramento County District 4 Supervisor Sue Frost sent out a short message via email this morning, informing supporters that she would not be seeking re-election in 2024.
The message says, in part;
“I have announced that I will not be seeking re-election in 2024. It was a difficult decision, but one that I feel is best for Jack and me. I was called to that seat by God and I know God is calling me to something different now. It has been an honor and a privilege to represent the people of District 4 and I will continue to work hard as I finish out my term.”
Later, she sent a more comprehensive email;
I cannot express how deeply honored I am by the trust and support you have shown to me during my years of public service. I have served in office for the past 11 years – four years as a Citrus Heights City Council member and the past seven as a Sacramento County Supervisor.
But the time has come for me to move on, so I will not be seeking reelection in 2024.
I wanted to call you personally to tell you, but time keeps ticking away, and I wanted to make sure you heard directly from me.
I did not reach this decision lightly. I’ve poured my heart and soul into representing the residents of District 4 and standing up for the values we share. The road has not always been easy – we’ve faced so many challenges during the past decade from protests and recession to Covid and everything in between. I have fought hard to stand up for our Constitutional Rights, defend taxpayers, improve transportation, stand up for families, create more opportunities, and keep our neighborhoods safe.
I sincerely hope I have lived up to those ideals.
I want to ensure your next representative will continue the level of commitment & service I have tried to provide. There are several real leaders in the district and I have thought long and hard about who will follow me as County Supervisor. I want to ensure that there will still be a strong voice for public safety, fiscal responsibility, economic opportunity, and individual rights – and that residents have a Supervisor who will listen and fight for them.
That’s why I am sharing my support for and endorsement of Folsom City Councilwoman Rosario Rodriquez to succeed me on the Board of Supervisors. She is an effective councilwoman, small business owner, widow, mother and grandmother, and a tireless leader who has earned my support. I hope you will join me in supporting Rosario Rodriquez as well.
I care deeply for the families and businesses in District 4. My staff and I will continue to work hard and with the same passion to stand up for you during the last year of my term and the years to follow. I will never stop speaking truth to power or advocating for the values I hold dear.
I want to thank you – again – for the trust and support you have shown me all these years. I cannot express how much it has meant to me.
Sincerely,
Sue Frost
