Hello. My name is Dion Bourdase. Welcome to the Official Website of my campaign for Fresno County Supervisor - 2024. Here you'll be able to learn more about the campaign, why I am the right choice for Fresno County today, and more. Thank you for your consideration. Please let know what else to hear more about.
In 1961 my grandfather moved the family to Fresno for work from Oakland. In 1981 my father built the first home I remember; at the time it was 1 of 2 homes on the block and now is surrounded by suburbs for miles.
I have had the opportunity to witness Fresno change over the years. I have found the people here are what make it special. And I am proud to call myself a third generation Fresnan and member of our distinctly unique community.
After decades of mismanagement Fresno finds itself at a crossroad. With Employee turnover rates in double and triple-digits throughout all County Departments, things are about to get worse. Nearly half of the 7,000+ employees in the county make less than $20/hour. The current Board of Supervisors refuses to acknowledge, let alone address, this major issue of Employee Retention. Come April's fast-food worker raise, what keeps our essential service employees from jumping ship for the prospect of less stress for better pay?
The Fiscal mismanagement and conflict of interests plaquing Fresno County are even worse. Remember the old Clovis Costco Building? Taxpayers are paying $10 million a year for a facility the County knew it needed but refused to pay $5 million for back in 2018.
What about the old UMC building thats sat vacant for a decade? Just last year the Board attempted to sell the entire Campus for less than $6 million. Then the County planned on renting back the buildings they still use. Instead of essentially giving away that real estate, why not have public input on how best to utilize this potential resource? How many times will Metropolitan Fresno have easy access to that amount of land in such a primary location?
Fresno Public Transportation is a joke. Our roads and infrastructure are falling apart. Yet instead of investing in our community the Board of Supervisors is more interested in creating a committee to second guess a Librarian we pay $150,000 a year and spending $250,000 fighting a state mandated name change.
Fresno County is running out of time. We can't keep letting those in power dictate the narrative of our community. Fresno is ready for a new Vision, and I am ready to represent you and the collective desire we all have to make it an even better place to call home. For all of us.
Basically Everything
The top Executive/Legislative branch of County Government in Fresno. Responsible for keeping services running for 1,000,000+ residents with 7,000+ employees operating under a $4.8 billion budget.
They don't even follow their own Rules. Why is Fresno County Government not accountable to us? It's time to change that.
Everything with Fresno is done behind closed doors. It's even against the law, but they don't care. Together let's force them.
Affordability and housing access keep getting worse while the Politicians keep playing politics. Let's make it easier to build and create a solution to this persistent issue.
Can you name one thing that has improved in Fresno over the last decade? I've witnessed it change and grow but I have difficulty thinking of a way its improved.
The Incumbent and fellow candidates for District 2 have been in Local Politics for years. What new do they really bring to the table? You should take a look at the Conflict-of-Interest statements on the City and County Website. They help explain why your concerns never seem to get addressed.
I am here to be the option for those tired of the same cycle of partisan politics and bad governance in Fresno County. An option for those opposed to the extremes presented this election. I invite you to make your opinion heard by voting me - Dion Bourdase for County Supervisor - District 2.
I care about perspective. Especially your Perspective. What needs to change? What is going well? Help build a better Fresno County by sharing your opinions today.
