San Luis Obispo Mayor Dave Romero and City Councilman Paul Brown have endorsed Pozo rancher and businesswoman Debbie Arnold for 5th District county supervisor.

Romero and Brown follow eight former Atascadero mayors who earlier this month announced their support for Arnold’s campaign against incumbent Supervisor Jim Patterson.

They praised Arnold’s experience in business and agriculture, which they said made her a good fit for the countywide office.

The primary is June 3.
