About Nancy McCarthy
Candidate's Statement
Nancy P. McCarthy - Attorney/Oversight Member
Education is the most important asset we have to give to our children and the community. We must make the most of every child to create the best future for us all.
Recognizing that, I served as a member of multiple legally mandated Citizen’s Oversight Committees. I oversaw expenditures of $500,000,000 in bonds to renovate Redwood, Tam & Drake High School, College of Marin (current), Edna McGuire Elementary, and Ross School. Also, I helped raise over $65,000 for local nonprofits [special needs adult housing.] My commitment is clear.
As a Marin resident over 40 years I dedicated significant volunteer time to improving the local school systems as well as serving the legal needs of our community as a civil litigator, judge pro-tem, arbitrator, appointed hearing officer, and Marin County Bar Association Board of Directors, while raising my two sons. My contributions to the Marin Pro Bono Program have earned recognition by Marin Legal Aid. As a member of the prior Sheriff's Citizen's Advisory Committee I helped improve police-citizen interactions. I have worked with many constituencies.
There are many challenges ahead, and as a proven problem-solver I will strive to contribute to good solutions. Education is my #1 priority for my family and yours.
Education: B.S., Cornell University; J.D., Tulane University School of Law; Member of California State Bar, Louisiana State Bar and U.S. Supreme Court.
I respectfully request your vote.
