These are statements submitted in support of Chris' bid for reelection from people like you!

There are at least three important reasons why Chris Herrod should be reelected to City Council. The first is the four years of high quality leadership he has provided as a council person including as the current mayor. The second is being born & raised in our town. Third, he is not beholden to the forces that wish to see Healdsburg solely dependent to the tourist industry.

“I reached out to the Healdsburg City Council in late 2025 about a concern as I was moving here. Chris Herrod listened to my concern and spent time communicating with the police department and responded with a thorough reply. I appreciate the attention he gave to my concern.”

Chris cares. That’s the bottom line. He cares for Healdsburg and its people. And close as he is to our town, he’s also able to widen the focus when that’s appropriate to consider the county, the country, and the planet. We’re lucky to have Chris learning and advocating and governing on our behalf. So I hope we keep him in office! Maria B

I would absolutely support Chris Herrod's reelection campaign because he cares about the local community in Healdsburg. Judy F

Chris is thoughtful, kind, and works hard for Healdsburg, through volunteer work, as well as his work on the council. Along with his wife and sons, his roots in Healdsburg are as strong as those of our local oak trees. I agree with many of Chris’ stances, and when we do disagree, he offers his reasoning in an intelligent and thoughtful manner. We are fortunate to have Chris as our current mayor and I am delighted he’s running again. I do not hesitate to endorse Chris for Healdsburg city council.

Chris Herrod is someone our community can count on. As a school counselor at Healdsburg High School, I’ve seen how much it matters to have leaders who are present, approachable, and willing to listen, and Chris brings that every time. He shows up, he pays attention, and he treats people with respect. He has also shown a real commitment to our Latino community, making sure our voices are heard and valued in the decisions that shape Healdsburg. That kind of consistency and care is what builds trust. Chris leads with integrity and a genuine connection to the people he serves. I’m proud to support his reelection.
