Evert Fernandez deeply impressed me and my husband in his position as a member of the Sebastopol Planning Commission when we attended meetings in 2016-2017. His sense of fairness, commitment to understanding the issues thoroughly, his intelligence and clarity of thought, his calm demeanor and complete lack of ego, and his unwavering respectful treatment of everyone in the room were remarkable. We both hoped that he would consider running for the City Council and are delighted to learn that he is doing so. — Nancy Jenkins

I have known Evert for nearly 20 years originally through the service club we both belonged to. Active 20-30 Santa Rosa. Watching him move up from club president, to National Director, and finally as International President of Active 20-30.
