FRESNO, Calif. (KMJ) Mike Karbassi announced Wednesday exclusively with KMJ’s Broeske & Musson that he’s now running for District 1 Fresno County Supervisor.
The two-term Fresno City Councilman is seeking to replace Brian Pacheco (D-Kerman), who officially launched his District 27 Assembly campaign on Tuesday.
Pacheco is running to replace Esmarelda Soria (D-Fresno) who’s running for State Senate.
Karbassi had previously announced a bid for County Clerk in an effort to oust elections chief James Kus. He had been critical of Kus’s performance in previous elections.
“I’ve had six and and a half years to do this and I think I’m pretty good at it,” Karbassi told the KMJ audience.
Also running for the Supervisor seat include: Omar Hernandez, an aide to Rep. Adam Gray and Firebaugh City Councilman Felipe Perez.
Others reportedly considering a bid include: Fresno non-profit leader Eric Payne and Kerman Mayor Maria Pacheco.
