The “We Can Do This”: Covid Public Health ‘Education’ Campaign

In Nevada County we experienced these failed policies in the messaging of our local Health Department, and newly hired Public Health Officer, Dr. Sherilyn Cooke, who unquestionably supported CDC’s faulty science and wouldn’t budge when updated science was presented to them.

Nevada County Auditor Gina Will Appointment Similar to Coronation of Kamala Harris

We have sham elections occurring in Nevada County. Despite losing her election for auditor of Nevada County to Rob Tribble and after he was found by the Nevada County Superior Court to lack the statutory qualifications to serve as the auditor, the Nevada County Board of Supervisors appointed his challenger, Gina Will, despite the fact that she only garnered 45% of the County vote and was not chosen by the people of the County and without even considering an open appointment process.
