Byline Mendocino: Election 2022 MCHCD Candidates Forum

November 4, 2022--Alicia Bales Hosts a Mendocino Coast Health Care District Candidates Forum. There are three seats up for election, with four candidates running: Incumbent John Redding and Challengers Susan Savage, Lee Finney, and Jade Tippett. The Coast Health Care District spans from Westport to Elk. Only residents who live in this district are eligible to vote in this race. The MCHCD formed in the early 1970s to build the Mendocino Coast Hospital in Fort Bragg. It recently entered into an agreement to lease the Hospital to Adventist Health after voters approved the affiliation in a local ballot measure, Measure C, with 91% of the vote in March 2020. Note: Dr. DAWNMARIE RISLEY-CHILDS also appears on the ballot but she has withdrawn from the race. Election Day is TUESDAY November 8, 2022. Please fill out your ballots and return them via mail, county ballot dropbox or in person to the elections office by 8pm on Tuesday.
