American Canyon City Councilmember Announces Run for Napa Co. Board of Supervisors

News from office of Belia Ramos:

American City Councilmember Belia Ramos announced last week at an event surrounded by her family and supporters that she will run for the 5th District seat on the Napa County Board of Supervisors. Supervisor Keith Caldwell, who currently represents the district, announced at the event that he will not be seeking re-election and endorsed Ramos.

Ramos begins her campaign with support from more than 25 local elected officials, including Congressman Mike Thompson, State Senator Lois Wolk, Assemblymember Bill Dodd, Napa Mayor Jill Techel and all five current members of the Board of Supervisors: Supervisors Keith Caldwell, Diane Dillon, Mark Luce, Alfredo Pedroza and Brad Wagenknecht. She has also received the endorsement of the Napa County Deputy Sheriff’s Association.

“I am proud to endorse Belia Ramos for Supervisor because she has the experience and skill to make a difference for Napa County,” said Thompson. “Belia has a deep passion for our community and will work on the Board of Supervisors to improve public safety, take on our traffic and transportation issues and fight for watershed conservation.”

Caldwell was first elected to the Board of Supervisors in 2008 and was re-elected without opposition in 2012. Among his accomplishments on the Board, he has worked to protect Napa’s natural resources and fight for clean drinking water.

“Keith Caldwell has been a tremendous public servant for the people of Napa County. I am honored to have his endorsement as his successor and will strive to build on his record of protecting our special quality of life,” said Ramos.

Ramos has served on the American Canyon City Council since 2010, where she has played an integral role on issues such as budget, public safety, traffic and transportation, public education, watershed conservation and the arts. She is the incorporator and board member of the American Canyon Community & Parks Foundation, American Canyon High School Alliance, Napa Valley Canine Foundation and Napa Valley Crime Stoppers. In 2012, Governor Brown appointed her to the 25th Agricultural District Board (Napa Town and Country Fair).

Born and raised in Napa County, Ramos is a small business owner, attorney and community activist. She lives in American Canyon with her family.
