In late February, San Joaquin County Supervisor Robert Rickman announced that former Chief Executive Officer of the Tracy Chamber of Commerce, Maria Valenzuela, has joined his team and will serve as the District 5 Board Aide. Her assignments will vary as needed, but her primary task will be representing the Supervisor in the Escalon and Ripon areas.

“Maria’s knowledge and experience of working with small businesses, the community, city and county officials, will be a tremendous asset to the residents of District 5 and San Joaquin County,” Rickman said. “Her commitment to innovation, growth, and collaboration will inspire new opportunities and continued excellence.”

Valenzuela was officially welcomed to the team by Supervisor Rickman and his Chief of Staff Scott Tyrrell.
