LOMPOC - Santa Barbara County's 4th District Supervisor is seeking another four-year term on the board.
On Wednesday, Joni Gray handed in her official papers for re-election at the Veterans Memorial Building in Lompoc.
Gray has faced criticism recently for her connections to the failed Lompoc Housing and Community Development Corporation, but she doesn't see that as a major obstacle to her re-election.
"Any time there's a negative, it always affects your campaign," she says. "I think I have enough folks that trust me and believe in what I do that they're going to say, Joni wouldn't do anything dishonest."
Gray lives in Orcutt and has been working for the 4th District for 14 years.
The district includes all of Lompoc and some of Orcutt.
