Richard Benson in Virtual Tie for First Place Leads to Fall Runoff in Assessor's Race
Richard Benson ended the June Primary Campaign for Marin County Assessor/Recorder/Clerk in a virtual tie for first place, leading to a runoff in November.
His message of "experience matters" carried the day as voters determined they needed someone who knew his way around the workings of he Assessor's office. His fall opponent is a subordinate in the same office, and Rich's challenge this fall is to distinguish himself from her. As the more senior of the two with management experience, a history of drafting legislation that helps the homeowner and tax payer and the depth of knowledge necessary to his the ground running as Assessor, Rich has the know how and skill level to make a great Assessor. GreenDogs highlighted these qualities in the spring campaign and will hone the message further as we go into the fall runoff.
Rich's stellar list of endorsers from other Assessors throughout the State to elected officials and civic leaders and community members attests to his appeal as the best suited for the office of Assessor.
