Thank You for Your Support – A Historic Victory

 

Dear Friend,

With profound gratitude, I am thrilled to share the incredible news of our campaign’s historic victory for San Bernardino County Assessor/Recorder/Clerk. Your generosity, support, and unwavering belief in our vision made this moment possible. Together, we have achieved something remarkable—honoring the legacy of the late Senator and Assessor Bob Dutton by securing the remainder of his term and upholding his principles of fairness and dedicated service.

 

Semi-Official Results:

  • Josie Gonzales: 265,877 votes (42.13%)
  • Closest Opponent: 181,045 votes (28.69%)

 

Looking forward, I am committed to delivering meaningful results for our community. My top priority is introducing one of the largest residential property tax reductions in our county’s history. By leveraging Propositions 8 and 13, we will reduce property valuations automatically—no applications required—resulting in billions of dollars in savings for hundreds of thousands of homeowners. Additionally, I will ensure that commercial, industrial, and multi-family properties are assessed fairly and accurately.

 

It is an incredible honor to serve as the first female and first Hispanic County Assessor in San Bernardino County’s history. While this term spans only two years, I am excited to announce my candidacy for the June 2026 primary, where I will seek a full four-year term. With your continued support, we can build on this momentum to create lasting change for our county.

 

I would also like to invite you to my swearing-in ceremony on January 6 at noon. Please visit [josieforassessor.com](https://josieforassessor.com) for updates and further information.

 

Thank you for believing in this campaign and for playing a vital role in this historic achievement. Together, we can create a brighter, more equitable future for San Bernardino County.

 

With deepest gratitude,

Josie Gonzales

San Bernardino County Assessor/Recorder/Clerk-Elect

The first Latina elected to the San Bernardino County Board of Supervisors, Josie Gonzales has positively impacted the region for more than twenty-five years. Initially elected to the Fontana City Council, Josie went on to serve as the Fifth District Supervisor from 2004 until she fulfilled the term limits in 2020.

Gonzales’ public service career has been defined by her “People First” approach; actively supporting early learning and development for young children, reducing veteran homelessness, and supporting project after project to add affordable housing for seniors and working families.

She was unanimously elected as Chair of the Head Start Governance Board, overseeing programs that provide developmental services to children under five and their families. Additionally, she served on the California State Association of Counties’ (CSAC) Homeless Action Team, and Chaired San Bernardino County’s Interagency Council on Homelessness, which at one point resulted in a 50% reduction in veteran homelessness across the county.

Prior to her political career, Gonzales owned and operated a several successful small businesses in San Bernardino County. Josie still resides in Fontana, and enjoys spending time with her family, including her four adult children and six grandchildren.

Josie joins the fight to protect Proposition 13! She has signed the pledge to defend taxpayer rights and oppose tax increases.
After years as a council member and county supervisor, I know what it takes to solve big challenges. I’m running for San Bernardino County assessor to make housing more affordable for every San Bernardino County resident, and I’ve got a plan to make it happen.
 
During my time is a county supervisor, we took on big issues and solved them. In fact, at one point, we even managed to end veteran homelessness in San Bernardino county.
 
“Josie Gonzalez dedicated herself to ending veteran homelessness during her time is county supervisor. Our vets know that Josie will always fight for them. “United States, Marine Corps Colonel Paul (Ret.)
 
As your next county assessor, I have a comprehensive plan to reduce the cost of living for every San Bernardino County resident. That means aggressively protecting proposition 13 to immediately reduce property taxes for up to $1000 per year.
 
“Families must prioritize basic needs and choose between gas and groceries. As a realtor, I know that Josie’s plan helps residents. Keep their hard-earned money. Reducing property taxes will make a big difference. “– San Bernardino County Supervisor, Jesse Armendarez.
