Dear Voter,

Welcome back to Election Day! While this election was called quickly, we hope that you will
have all the tools you need to vote successfully and return your voted ballot by Election
Day, February 1st, 2022.

Some new rules are in effect for this election. That means we will mail a ballot to every
active registered voter in District 2, and you can use that ballot to vote in person if you like.

Ballots will be on the way to every voter on January 3rd or sooner.

Please read the instructions for marking your ballot; they are different than a regular ballot
question. You can choose to vote yes or no on the recall question, and choose a candidate
for replacement – it doesn’t matter what your choice is on the question itself.

There are two ways to vote this election, either by mail or in person. There are also multiple
ways to return your voted ballot.

You can either bring it to our office (January 3rd – February 1st) or bring it to your polling
place on February 1st. You can also vote your ballot at home and return it by mail, or to an
official county drop box.

Because this election only takes place in Supervisorial District 2, not all drop boxes across
the county will be open. There is a list of available drop box locations and hours in this book,
and your polling place is printed on the back cover.

Our office has prepared this guide to help all our voters make educated choices. We are
required by law to send it to you, and the recall information inside is required by law, and in
some cases, paid for by the submitter.

Please call us at (530) 225-5730 if you have questions. You can check the website for
information at ShastaVotes.org.

There are lots of ways to participate in the community we live in. We think voting is one of
the most important. Thank you.

Cathy Darling Allen

Signing Your Envelope

Your signature is an important part of the voting process. It is part of the security of the
election. The signature on the back of each return ballot envelope is compared to the
signature on file for that voter. Below are some important facts about your signature and
voting.

The return envelope for your ballot must be signed.
We must compare the signature on the ballot envelope to the signature we have on file
with your voter registration, before we count your ballot.

What if I forget to sign the envelope or my signature doesn’t match?
If we receive your ballot envelope and the signature is missing or doesn’t compare to
what we have on file, we will contact you using the information we have on your voter
record. You will be asked to visit our office and provide a signature or sign and return the
form we mail to you, before your ballot can be counted.

How long does a voter have to fix their challenged signature?
Challenged signatures must be resolved with the elections office no later than 5pm two
days prior to the certification of the election.

What if my signature changes?
Our signatures naturally change as time goes by. Some changes are more drastic than
others. If you are aware of your signature changing, you can complete the signature
update form contained in this guide and return it to us. Or contact our office and we will
assist you in updating your signature on file.

Keep your signature up to date.
Make sure your address and signature are always up to date with the Elections Office.
This will insure a smooth voting process for you during each election.

Information About the Ballot
                       About the Candidate
Who is running for office?
A complete list of the candidates on your ballot, their contact information and campaign
financial disclosure statements are available online:
   Local candidates: ShastaVotes.org

Candidate Statements
The officer being recalled may file a statement within this guide as well as candidates
running for the same office.
Some candidates choose not to buy space for a statement.
Statements for candidates are printed in the random alpha order conducted by elections
officials and are printed exactly as submitted, including errors.

                     How a Recall Ballot Works
At the February 1, 2022 Shasta County Supervisor District 2 Recall Election there will be a
question on the ballot regarding the recall of Leonard Moty.

The recall question contains two parts. You may vote on both parts or on just one. Either
way, your vote will be counted:
    1. The first part will ask, “Shall Leonard Moty be recalled (removed) from the office of
       Supervisor District 2?”
    2. The second part will list the names of the candidates running to replace the
       Supervisor if he is recalled. If you choose to vote for a replacement candidate, you
       may vote for only one of the candidates.

If more voters mark “yes” than “no” on the first part of the recall question, the Supervisor
will be removed from office. If more voters mark “no” than “yes”, the Supervisor will
remain in office.

If the Supervisor is recalled, the candidate who receives the most votes will be elected as
the new Supervisor. That person can be sworn in as the Supervisor once the results of the
election are certified.

Under a state law designed to give every candidate a fair opportunity at appearing at the
top of the ballot, the Secretary of State’s office is required to conduct a random alphabet
draw prior to each election. The candidates’ names are printed in this random alphabet
order as required by state law.

The guide includes, the “Proponents’ Statement of Reasons” submitted by the proponents
of the recall, and the “Supervisor District 2 Answer to the Statement”.

14 · Shasta County Supervisor District 2 Recall Election · February 1, 2022
Statement of Reasons and Answer
The recall petition circulated in the county included a Statement of Reasons for a recall and the Supervisor
District 2 Answer to the Statement, which are provided below pursuant to Elections Code section 11325.

Proponents’ Statement of Reasons
To Cathy Darling Allen: Pursuant to the California Constitution and California election laws, we the
undersigned, registered, and qualified electors of the District 2, County of Shasta, State of California
respectfully state that we seek the recall and removal of Leonard Moty holding the office of Supervisor in
District 2 in Shasta County, California. We demand an election of a successor to that office. The following
Notice of Intention to circulate a recall petition was served on April 30,2021 to Leonard Moty.
TO: Leonard Moty Pursuant to provisions of the California Elections Code, the undersigned, registered
qualified voters of the District 2, County of Shasta, State of California, hereby give notice that we are the
proponents of a recall petition and that we intend to seek your recall and removal from the office of
Supervisor in the district two, County of Shasta, State of California, and to demand an election of a
successor for that office.
The grounds for the proposed recall are as follows: Removing Leonard Moty is a course correction for
Shasta County. 1) He has betrayed public trust. He didn’t defend our county from State government
overreach. He bowed to Governor Newsom, a lawless politician, for county funding. He capitulated to the
State, refusing to terminate our local state of emergency, failing to give us local control. He failed to
fulfill his oath to secure our right to choose safety for ourselves. 2) Need for fundamental change. For
over twelve years in the same position, he’s demonstrated irresponsibility with taxpayer money, directing
it to be used in continually bloated, inefficient county programs. He approved Health Officer, Dr. Karen
Ramstrom for a total compensation of $279,000 and did not hold her accountable for failure to tailor
health guidance to fit our unique county needs. 3) This a last resort. We cannot afford to wait until 2024
to elect new representation. This recall is an exposè of Moty’s disregard for the Constitution, and his
unashamed hostility toward community leaders, parents, doctors, nurses, teachers, and experts
petitioning for local control. We must return to reasonable representative, and accountable local
government for ourselves and our future generations.

Supervisor District 2 Answer to the Statement
I was born and raised here, worked 31 years in local law enforcement, and have proudly continued to
serve Shasta County citizens for the past 12 years. I have always considered public safety our #1 issue,
followed by fiscal responsibility. I have taken an oath to uphold both the Constitution of the U.S. and
State of California.
The County is a subdivision of the state, thus is legally obligated to abide by the Governor-declared
“State of Emergency”, even if I didn’t fully agree with his “one size fits all approach.” Approximately 85%
of our budget is controlled by the state, for programs/services that benefit all community members.
During these challenging times, the Board and staff have worked diligently to ensure critical services
remained in place, while working to protect the health and safety of over 180,000 county residents. My
role is to serve and protect all citizens, and our financial future.

We are moving forward here in Shasta County; our priorities remain:

    1.   Safeguarding Public Safety

    2.   Promoting local business and industry expansion

    3.   Addressing homelessness, mental health issues, and drug addiction

I will never stop serving my hometown, doing what’s right for our community
and our County’s future!

Elected Supervisor District 2
Leonard Moty
Occupation: Incumbent/Retired Law Enforcement
Age: 68
I’ve lived in District 2 for 30 years, raised my family, and worked for the Redding Police
Department for 31 years, six as Police Chief. I’ve volunteered, invested, and served our
community as a Board member with Leadership Redding, YMCA, Shasta Regional Community
Foundation, water agencies, and many others. I care deeply about our community and know what
it takes to tackle tough problems. I’ve built relationships with other rural counties, fought for
state dollars for fire victim assistance, ensured residents retained their insurance, advocated for
road improvements, and protected our water rights.
It’s been a privilege to serve as your County Supervisor and together, we've delivered real results
for our residents. This includes the new County Emergency Operations Center to coordinate
services during natural disasters; new Public Safety Campus/Jail; SHIELD Regional Training Center
to improve fire, police, and EMT services. Cracking down on illegal cannabis, fighting to keep
Shasta County fairs & livestock auctions operational, and supporting local small businesses with
direct relief grants. Business, agriculture, housing, and economic development are thriving in
Shasta County!
I will continue to face these challenges head on and fight for what’s right. Please stand with me &
Vote NO on the Recall. www.standwithmoty2022.com

Paid Candidate Statements
Candidates have the option to prepare and pay for a statement to be printed in this guide. A complete list
of candidates can be found on the Sample Ballot in this guide. Statements are printed in the random alpha
order conducted by elections officials.

Candidate for Supervisor District 2
Tony Ruel Hayward SR.
Occupation: Business Owner, Tribal Councilman
Age: 51
I am seeking election for the position of Shasta County Supervisor, District 2 because I believe
that my leadership skills, as well as my planning, business and political experiences bring an
important balance to the County. I have been serving on the Redding Rancheria Tribal Council
since 2015. I have never wavered from my commitment to the tribal members, acting at every
turn with the best interests of the membership I represent in mind. Going forward, this experience
will allow me the opportunity to do so for Shasta County as well. I will not succumb to the
pressure of outside interests. I consider it my duty to monitor the actions of the people who are
paid to serve you.
I was born and raised in Shasta County and have owned and operated a small business in Happy
Valley since 2001. I am well versed on the workings of government and the needs of businesses
small and large; and have 34 years of varied business experiences to draw upon.
I have the maturity, experience, and common sense to provide quality leadership, and ask for your
support in this election.

Candidate for Supervisor District 2
Tarick Mahmoud
Occupation: Quality Assurance Pharmacist
Age: 34
As Shasta County Supervisor for District 2, I will offer leadership, without forgetting I'm your
public servant. For too long political structures have existed in Shasta County that have been less
about public service, and more about performing in "good old boy clubs". That's unfortunate and
needs to stop. Shasta County is positioned to lead in how a conservative, constitutional
government can be better for California. With your help, I am going to be part of that. I'm a proud
American and I love Shasta County.
I moved to Redding in 2013, I will act independent of any established group in service of my
district and County. I served on the Shasta County Grand Jury in 2019-2020. I'm now running in
2021 to be your Supervisor starting in 2022. A vote for me is a vote for change, BOS evening
meetings, a look at our Building Department's permitting practices, better streets for rural
communities, and a more accessible library for our kids to learn and grow.
As a healthcare professional I can uniquely work with our Health & Human Services Department.
Drug abuse, homelessness, and mental illness are more visible and I don't want Redding
"Sacramento'ed"! I want accountability not debt, mandates, bans or shutdowns. Please support
me with your vote.

Candidate for Supervisor District 2
Tim Garman
Occupation: School Board Member
Age: 54
Shasta County is home and it has been a privilege to be a part of this community for over twenty
years. As a husband and father of five, I could not think of a better place to raise a family. The
serene outdoor beauty and community based values are unlike anywhere else in California. After
retiring from a career in roofing, I now work as a part time salesman. Engaging in the community
has awakened me to the endless problems Shasta County faces. Many of these problems go
unanswered. Crime, homelessness, natural disaster and an endless string of bureaucratic excuses
called me to public service. To serve the community, I started a type-1 diabetes support group for
children and have been on the Happy Valley School Board for the past five years. As the current
School Board President, it is of the utmost importance to me that we guide our youth to a bright
academic future and instill the same values that represent Shasta County. I am running for county
supervisor because I see a corruption of our values destroying our local government. If elected, I
promise the transparency, responsibility and community engagement that we as a community
expect.
Thank You.
Tim Garman

Candidate for Supervisor District 2
Dale Ball
Occupation: Superintendent of Operation
Age: 55
As a lifelong resident of Shasta County, I have always been interested in creating positive change.
As an adult, I have remained committed to working for the betterment of our community.
Particular areas of my concern are public safety, mental health, homelessness, and quality of life
for our residents. After years of dedicated volunteer service, it has become apparent I need to run
to replace the incumbent in an effort to spur positive change. I believe there are workable
solutions to serve our community more efficiently. We need to utilize every resource available
and concentrate on securing funding and grants to allow for the incarceration of offenders while
offering treatment and rehabilitation to reduce recidivism. I have received overwhelming support
from the public, including active and retired community leaders, law enforcement and firefighters.
As an active community volunteer, I have worked countless hours for positive change in Shasta
County, including being Co-Founder of Shasta Support Service, on the Advisory Board of
Continuum of Care, and a Committee Member of HUD Point in Time. When elected, I will work full
time in an effort to find workable solutions. 530-351-1557.
