JANE PARKER CONCEDES S.S.

AFTER A NEW VOTE TALLY FAILED TO BRIDGE THE NARROW GAP THAT SEPARATES MONTEREY COUNTY SUPERVISORIAL CANDIDATE JANE PARKER, FROM HER OPPONENT JERRY SMITH, PARKER CONCEDED DEFEAT. IN A PREPARED STATEMENT, PARKER THANKED THE VOTERS FOR THE STRONG SUPPORT HER CAMPAIGN GENERATED. WHILE PARKER?S CAMPAIGN STRESSED THE NEED FOR CONTROLLED GROWTH BACKED BY ACCOMPANYING INFRASTRUCTURE, SMITH'S CAMPAIGN EMPHASIZED AFFORDABLE HOUSING, AND GETTING TOUGH ON CRIME.
