2024 candidate for
San Bernardino County District 1 Supervisor
San Bernardino County District 1, resident Clifton L. Harris, has announced his candidacy for County Supervisor District 1.
Clifton would be the first Black man to represent Supervisorial District 1. “Running for the County Board of Supervisors is an extension of the values to which I have already dedicated my life: transparency, equity, and accountability. These values I will bring to the decisions I make when working together as a community, as I approach and tackle the priority policy areas.” said Harris.
Clifton currently serves on various Victor Valley Union High School District Citizens committee’s and leads his organization, Fractured, Assess, Intervention, Remedies (FAIR).
He has previously served on the Board of Directors for various Domestic Violence Shelters in the past and provided training for staff and volunteers for: The Haley House founded in Barstow; A Better Way in Victorville, CA.; The Bethlehem House in Highland, CA.; Shelter from the Storm in Palm Desert, CA. Clifton also worked with The Office of Criminal Justice and Planning to secure grant funding from the state for local shelters for these organizations.
“When policymakers and corporations are the only two parties informing the agenda, it has created the results we’ve grown accustomed to, such as, watered-down policies that prioritize corporate interests over the needs of the community,” said Harris. “Let’s reimagine the necessary components of accountable policymaking by broadening the decision-making table to include community and investor stakeholders.”
Clifton is a graduate of The University of La Verne in La Verne, California, with a degree in Business Administration, and graduated from The Caruso School of Law at Pepperdine University with a Master’s Degree in legal studies. As the weekly newspaper Publisher (The San Bernardino American News), he strongly connects to community across San Bernardino County. He spent 34 years serving in San Bernardino and Riverside Counties as a Law Enforcement Officer and currently takes cases as a Private Investigator. Over the years he has served as a member of various local and state task force’s protecting our local communities.
Clifton L. Harris is inspired to run for the position of San Bernardino County First District Supervisor because he has been at the intersection of racial justice, economic equality, and corporate social responsibility, which combined with his life experiences qualifies him to continue to work for the people and build desirable growing communities.
