Martinez, CA, Sept 13, 2016 – Supervisor Federal Glover has been the recipient of a generous outpouring of support and endorsements from Martinez leaders and citizens in his current re-election bid for District 5 Supervisor on the Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors.

“My father, Bob Schroder, served the people of Contra Costa County for 16 years as a member of the Board of Supervisors, said Mayor Schroder. “He showed me that it takes experience, wisdom, perspective, credibility, honesty, compassion, and a deep sense of service to others. Federal Glover has all of those qualities and that is why I support him.”

And, I am thankful to well-known community members such as Roy Jeans, Danny Pellegrini, Cathy Riggs and Mark Hughes for their continued support as well.”
