| Dear Neighbors,
I wanted to share a quick update with you. At our first regular Board of Supervisors meeting of 2026, my colleagues on the Ventura County Board of Supervisors elected me to serve as Chair of the Board, and Supervisor Vianey Lopez was elected to serve as Vice Chair.
I am truly honored by the trust my colleagues have placed in me and grateful for the opportunity to serve in this role. I also want to thank Supervisor Janice Parvin for her leadership as Chair over the past year and for her continued service to our county.
Ventura County is an extraordinary place to call home—defined by breathtaking beauty from the mountains to the coast, recognized as one of the safest large counties in California, and strengthened by a growing and innovative economy, with our life-saving biotech sector at the forefront. Our County’s strong fiscal footing and dedicated public servants allow us to continue delivering essential services while planning responsibly for the future.
I’m proud to work alongside my fellow supervisors, our outstanding County team, and our many community partners as we focus on serving residents and building a strong, resilient future for Ventura County.
Have questions or ideas you’d like to share? I’d love to hear from you. My team and I are here to serve you—always.
Thank you for the privilege of serving you.
Warm regards,
Jeff
Jeff Gorell, Chair, Ventura County Board of Supervisors
