MARIN COUNTY, CA — The Marin County Board of Supervisors reorganized its leadership for 2026 at its Tuesday meeting, selecting District 5 Supervisor Eric Lucan as Board President.

Lucan, who represents the majority of Novato and its unincorporated communities, was chosen during the Board’s annual reorganization.

As Board President, Lucan will preside over meetings, approve final agendas and serve as the Board’s presiding officer for the year. District 3 Supervisor Stephanie Moulton-Peters was named First Vice President, and District 2 Supervisor Brian Colbert was selected as Second Vice President. Lucan takes over the role from District 1 Supervisor Mary Sackett.

Lucan joined the Board of Supervisors in January 2023. Prior to his current role, he served on the Novato Parks and Recreation Commission and was elected to the Novato City Council in 2011, serving as Mayor in 2014, 2019, and 2022.

This year, Lucan stated his priorities are "keeping our community housed, supporting small businesses and the rural economy, investing in community infrastructure, protecting health and safety for our communities, leading on environmental stewardship and climate resilience."

He also emphasized his commitment to the entire community.

“I look forward to working together with my Board colleagues, community partners, and most importantly the 2,500-plus employees at the County of Marin to best serve our community with respect, accountability, and a commitment to improve the quality of life for ALL residents,” Lucan said.
