The Central Coast seat on the California Coastal Commission held by Supervisor Justin Cummings is open for nominations as his two-year term expires. Assembly Speaker Robert Rivas has requested nominations to fill the position representing Santa Cruz, San Mateo, and Monterey counties. Cummings, who filled the position after the previous occupant vacated it, expressed understanding of Rivas's move to solicit nominations, emphasizing the opportunity for broader regional representation. Rivas's background and connections in the Central Coast add an important layer to this selection process.
Cummings noted, 'I was able to fill out (my predecessor's) term and now that the new speaker is in (his) seat, it's an opportunity for (him) to consider people from around the region.'
Rivas, as Assembly Speaker, holds significant power in selecting the new commission member, demonstrating both authority and local ties to the region.
