We all win with Tim! Tim listens, understands Tuolumne County and is genuinely focused on solutions that benefit everyone. His integrity, humility, and genuine care are how he operates every day.

We need a new voice and Tim is the best choice to represent the people of Tuolumne County. He listens, understands the issues, and actually shows up. Too many politicians are disconnected from the people they serve. Tim is different.

It is an election year and soon we will be able to exercise our democratic privileges again! As early as June we can vote in the local elections, giving us an opportunity to shift the balance of the Board of Supervisors toward the priorities that matter most to us. One key issue is the disastrous decision made by three of the current board members to defund Cal Fire Station 56, putting our health and fire safety at risk. Not only does this jeopardize our safety, but our insurance companies will take notice, considering the area at higher risk and potentially raising our premiums. Thankfully, voters in District 3 now have the chance to replace one of those supervisors with a better choice: Tim McCaffrey, a man raised in Twain Harte who instinctively understands the challenges we face in this part of the county. Tim is a man of integrity, an entrepreneur with a flexible schedule who can dedicate himself full-time to serving us as a board member. He deeply cares about the community and will listen to our concerns. He will not use the office as a stepping stone to any higher political ambitions, does not have a personal agenda, and will make our issues his priority. So on June 2, please cast a vote for Tim McCaffrey to help bring about real change and get the person best suited for this important position. For more information, please check out his website at https://www.timfordistrict3.com/

Honest, trustworthy, reliable. He listens and cares about people and our community.

Humanity, kindness, and community will help us move forward, and Tim embodies those values. He brings people together and focuses on what truly matters.

It is deeply concerning to see how some of our national leaders have normalized bullying and
openly abandoned democratic norms. Sadly, this troubling behavior is emerging locally as well. As we look to the future of Tuolumne County, we need leaders who are committed to restoring respect, accountability, and a sense of civility to public office.
 When I met Tim McCaffrey at a small gathering in a friend’s home, what struck me most was his commitment to building community, honoring differences, and engaging others with a genuine desire to understand. At a time when politics feels increasingly hostile, this approach is not just refreshing—it is essential for civic engagement. Tim is candid about not having every answer to the complex issues facing our county. What he does have is a commitment to doing the work to address them. As he said when he announced his candidacy, “I’m running to serve as a full-time supervisor who is prepared for every board meeting, who truly listens to the people of District 3, and who works across divides to deliver results.”
 Tuolumne County faces serious challenges, and I don’t want the leaders representing my
interests to be reactive, dismissive, or divisive. I encourage you to visit www.timfordistrict3.com to learn more about Tim McCaffrey’s values and priorities—and to show up to vote for a leader who will listen carefully, work hard, and act in the best interests of Tuolumne County residents.

I endorse Tim because he shows integrity, respect, and real commitment to our community. He listens and leads with heart and common sense.

I’m proud to endorse Tim McCaffrey for Tuolumne County District 3 Supervisor. He is thoughtful, compassionate, and dedicated to serving our community.

I am a long time resident of Twain Harte. I was a teacher for 30 years here in Tuolumne
County. I have known Tim McCaffrey for many years. Our families were acquainted from
way back and our fathers had a monthly lunch which they attended together with mutual
friends. Tim and I raised our kids together at Dodge Ridge and Twain Harte Lake where they
all eventually became lifeguards together. We are so lucky to live in such an idyllic
paradise. 
I first really got to know Tim when he was my editor for the Twain Harte Times…which
eventually became the Sierra Mountain Times. I wrote a column about the night sky called,
“Nan at Night.” Tim ‘made’ this paper! He was always so positive and enthusiastic. Every
time I walked into the office, he was like a shining light full of energy. I know Tim will bring
this positivity and enthusiasm to our Tuolumne County Board of Supervisors. His
knowledge of technology and skills in working with people are exceptional. But, probably
his most important trait he brings forward to this position is his absolute love and
knowledge of our community and the people who live in it. I know that I can pick up the
phone at any time, and Tim will be there! He cares so much about this amazing county we
live in. He has combed it from the mountain tops, to the back country, to the liveliness of
our towns, playing his music and bringing joy wherever he goes. 
I hope that you will join me in supporting Tim McCaffrey for Supervisor in District 5. We
need his knowledge, enthusiasm and love for our community to guide us forward. Please
vote for Tim! And, if you are able, pick up the phone and contribute or volunteer to help us
get this awesome candidate elected!
Thank you for your consideration,

Tim genuinely cares about ALL the people of Tuolumne County. He is honest, hardworking, and committed to finding real solutions.

I believe that Tim McCaffrey wants to work for the people, not for politics. He is approachable, sincere, and committed to positive change.

I appreciate how clearly he articulates what the county needs and how he plans to address it. Tim brings clarity, fairness, and optimism.

Tim stands for ALL county citizens with practical solutions and fairness. He is the kind of leader our community needs. I believe he stands for fairness, not extreme positions. Tim is balanced, thoughtful, and focused on what truly benefits our county.

As a registered Independent Voter, and a fellow rural Tuolumne County citizen for nearly sixty years, I strongly urge you to get to the 2026 election polls and vote for Tim McCaffrey to be our District 3 Supervisor. Although there are always many sides to any issue, Public Safety and Fire Protection are of the utmost concern and importance. But, the recent actions by three of our Board of Supervisors to close the Mono Vista Fire Station is indefensible. District 3’s Mr. Kirk and the other two Supervisors have turned their backs on all of us by their action. And, by their own reasoning, solely to balance a budget at the expense and peril of Tuolumne County businesses, homeowners, and residents. There have been previous actions of Mr. Kirk that I have questioned, but his decision to vote for closing Mono Vista Fire Station is in itself enough to demand a change of leadership for District 3. While the Supervisors had much time to address the Fire Station funding issue in advance, they took no definitive action. A complete failure of leadership and betrayal of residents. Meanwhile, candidate Tim McCaffrey has put forth suggested actions that prioritize citizens safety and well being, not only for the Mono Vista station, but other issues as well. We need new leadership for District 3 that prioritizes decision making on community input, discussion, and research, not dogma. Let's join with Tim McCaffrey as citizens working together thoughtfully to solve our communities issues and challenges. Vote Tim McCaffrey, for a full time District 3 Supervisor.

Tim has energy, engagement, and action. He is actively involved in the community and committed to making Tuolumne County better for everyone. Tim has clear communication and a heartfelt commitment to community. He listens, engages, and takes action.

I’m honored to endorse Tim McCaffrey for District 3 Supervisor. He brings intelligence, compassion, and real-world experience to leadership.

As we are all painfully aware there is a rip in the fabric of our Democracy. Daily we read
example after example of the malignant corruption in our government being committed by
the very people who were voted for, by us their constituents, into positions to enhance,
protect, preserve, and manage our form of government at all levels – local to national. To
reset those values and get our government back on track, we must examine the values and
character of the people we chose to lead us. That said, we need elected officials who are transparent, objectively engaged in the community and who have no personal or special interest agenda that does not benefit all our residents. Tuolumne Co. has an opportunity in the upcoming election to elect a man who does embrace the values of good character and the desire to provide strong and bipartisan leadership for all of Tuolumne County residents – not just District 3. As a lifelong Tuolumne Co. resident, land owner and ardent observer of politics, I sincerely support and endorse Mr. Tim McCaffrey for the position of District 3 County Supervisor. Tim has the tools to help mend the rip in the fabric of democracy.

We need clear, independent thinking with a commitment to people over the long run. Tim is conscious, committed and caring - all great qualities for community service.

Tim is a long time resident and business owner in our county. He is well informed about community needs regarding fire protection, law enforcement, housing, the business climate and recreation needs. Tim will place the welfare of Tuolumne Country residents above politics.

Tim is a local with roots in this community and I sense his commitment to study and forethought in addressing the health and welfare of the citizenry of Tuolumne County. He’s a creative and compassionate leader whose shown his competence and vision for stronger community.

It would be easy just to say he is not Kirk. But there is more to Tim than just not being an anti-democracy - pro family guy. Let me just say that Tim is the type of Supervisor that we need to solve our problems vs what we have now in Supe D-3. We need Tim now in Tuolumne County.

Tim McCaffrey, a lifelong resident of Tuolumne County, has dedication, innovative ideas, and a deep commitment to better our community. He is open, honest, dedicated,and always ready to listen to o the concerns of our citizens. Tim McCaffrey is the change our community needs!

I have known Tim McCaffrey most of his life. Over the years Tim has grown into a strong, intelligent and passionate about everything he tackles. His love of Tuolumne county is ongoing. He tackles every obstacle calmly and very professionally. There is very little that comes Tim’s way that he cannot make something good happen with it as he is solving all the problems. Tim would be such an asset to this position. I have worked with several elected officials over 35 years and by far Tim would be an outstanding candidate and elected official. I asked for your support of Tim McCaffrey in this election.

Looking for positive leadership for all. I believe Tim can make a difference!

Having known Tim McCaffrey for 30 years, I’ve seen firsthand his deep love for our community. His character, leadership, and dedication to helping others make him someone who will truly serve our community with excellence.
