Sharon Wright

<p>Opponent: Shirlee Zane</p><p>About the race: This pivotal Board of Supervisors seat, which spans the heart of Santa Rosa and most of Rohnert Park, pits former Santa Rosa councilwoman Sharon Wright against Council on Aging CEO Shirlee Zane. The winner will succeed Tim Smith, a 20-year board veteran who is retiring. Key issues of the urban-oriented 3rd District are health care and criminal justice. Business interests are lined up behind Wright, while labor and environmental groups see a chance to tip the balance on the five-member board by electing Zane.</p><p></p><p>Age: 65</p><p>Hometown: Santa Rosa</p><p>Occupation: Small business owner, Sonoma County planning commissioner</p><p>Background: Santa Rosa City Council member (1992 - 2004)</p><p>Web site: www.friendsofsharonwright.com</p><embed src="http://services.brightcove.com/services/viewer/federated_f8/294377113" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" flashVars="videoId=1785367556&playerId=294377113&viewerSecureGatewayURL=https://console.brightcove.com/services/amfgateway&servicesURL=http://services.brightcove.com/services&cdnURL=http://admin.brightcove.com&domain=embed&autoStart=false&" base="http://admin.brightcove.com" name="flashObj" width="510" height="550" seamlesstabbing="false" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" swLiveConnect="true" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash"></embed>
