With her husband Emmett, she founded and ran a diversified family farm where she honed her pragmatic problem solving as well as her manure detection and management skills. Lynda now serves on the California Air Resources Board, Bay Area Air Quality District, Sonoma County Transportation and Climate Authorities, Santa Rosa Groundwater Sustainability Agency, Sonoma Clean Power, Russian River Watershed Association and Northern Sonoma County Air Pollution Control District. Lynda is a passionate advocate for data-driven climate policy, wildfire resilience, rural communities, agriculture, affordable housing, social justice, parks, and infrastructure investments. When she’s not attending public meetings, responding to late night constituent messages, or battling bureaucracy, Lynda can be found exploring the wonders of West County with her husband and three children.
