STANLEY BISSMEYER CANDIDATE FOR DISTRICT 1 SUPERVISOR
Who I Am
As residents of this unique county, we all cherish our beautiful, rural environment, the simpler lifestyle, the solitude, and fellowship. I want to preserve what we all treasure and work to enhance and improve everyone’s way of life. That is why I am running for District 1 Supervisor in Mariposa County.
I graduated from Mariposa High, married and raised my family here. My first job was as a CDF seasonal firefighter, then I worked in construction helping to build our county and roads, later I started a sawmill and logging business. Following my desire to guide and support young people through challenges, I first worked as a certified Group Supervisor at Mt. Bullion YCC, a hand crew fire camp, then as a Youth Counselor at N.A. Chaderjian Youth Correctional Facility. I earned my A.S. degree at Modesto JC. I became an educator in grades K through 12 at a private school.
I attend and serve at New Life Calvary Chapel in Bootjack and have been involved in community service since 1982 when I began work in the church, and in the community as youth pastor/counselor. I served for two sessions on the Grand Jury, and volunteered as a Poll Watcher for 21 years
My life has been about being of service to others and leading in a positive direction, which is why I want to represent my fellow residents in our county government as your supervisor. I’m confident I have the community background and skillsets to be effective and I ask for your vote in the November 2026 primary.
A Tried and True Servant. A Voice for the People.
For too long, many of the people of Mariposa County have felt that their voices have been drowned out by politics, bureaucracy, and special interests. I believe our county government should answer to the citizens—not to Sacramento, political parties, or any special-interest organization.
I'm running for Mariposa County Supervisor because I believe it's time to restore common sense, fiscal responsibility, transparency, and constitutional principles to local government.
I am a constitutional conservative. That means I believe government exists to serve the people—not the other way around. I believe in protecting our constitutional liberties, defending private property rights, respecting law enforcement, supporting our veterans, and ensuring that every taxpayer dollar is spent wisely.
My commitment is simple:
I will be your voice at the table.
I will listen before I lead. I will ask the hard questions. I will insist on transparency in county government and accountability in every budget decision. Every dollar spent by the county belongs to the taxpayers, and every decision should reflect the needs of the people who live here—not outside interests.
This election offers voters a clear choice about the direction of our county. My campaign is built on the belief that local government should be guided by the people it serves. I will always stand for constitutional government, responsible stewardship of taxpayer funds, public safety, and policies that strengthen our rural way of life.
Mariposa County is a place where neighbors still help neighbors, where faith, family, hard work, and personal responsibility matter. Those values deserve representation on the Board of Supervisors.
I won't promise to agree with everyone on every issue. But I do promise this:
I will tell you the truth.
I will be accessible.
I will work tirelessly.
And I will never forget who I work for.
Together, we can preserve what makes Mariposa County special while building a stronger future for our children and grandchildren.
I respectfully ask for your vote for Mariposa County Supervisor, District 1.
