- Carolyn Wilson Crnich -

"I know that [Juan Pablo] will do everything he can to protect the integrity of our election process and to expand services and access to all [...] I was recently impressed to see that Juan, in his capacity as Elections Manager, had brought candidate and voter services directly to the Hoopa Valley Tribe during the Lightning Complex Fire. Though the road to providing fair access to county services is a long one, Juan is actively taking steps in the right direction."

I've been the manager of the Hoopa election precinct for the last 4 years. Juan has been a solid help in all these elections, both in training for the upcoming elections and especially during the tense day of the election. He is always available, extremely knowledgeable and very pleasant to work with every time.
Bob KennedyTribal Elections Manager
It’s important that we have a Registrar who understands election laws, regulations, and processes and has confidence in the overall election system. Those qualifications are essential for voters to accept election results. Only one candidate has these qualities: Juan Pablo Cervantes.
Lindsey McWilliamsRetired Elections Chief
[Juan] has taken on difficult issues and done the homework necessary to respond with factual answers to new and challenging situations. It is this ability to research issues and consider the evidence and all points of view that will make him an excellent County Clerk, Recorder and Registrar of Voters for Humboldt County.
Carolyn Wilson CrnichRetired Clerk-Recorder & Registrar
I worked in the Recorder’s Office for over 10 years and I think Juan would be a great leader for that office and Elections. He has a lot of knowledge regarding Elections and hopefully will bring some positive changes to the Recorder’s Office.
Marjorie HeddingerRetired Recorder's Office Employee
Each candidate is better trained to run different halves of this office; however, Juan's expertise is in the more complex Registrar of Voters section. Help keep our elections running smoothly. Join me and others with knowledge of this important office. Vote for JPC
John MurrayRetired County Administrative Officer (CAO)
Juan Pablo Cervantes brings a youthful, vigorous commitment to democracy and its core processes to the offices of Recorder and Registrar. He gets our vote, and deserves yours.
Mad River UnionEditorial Staff
Juan has robust leadership and management experience, is fully capable of bringing together a large team in two unique and physically separate offices, and understands the complexities and needs of our elections office in a large, rural county.
Natalie ArroyoSupervisor Elect, District 4
Juan Pablo Cervantes is my clear choice for county clerk, recorder and registrar of voters. He is smart and experienced in successfully managing the elections division, which is by far the most complex of the divisions overseen by this position.
