On Wednesday, 5/8/18, the Tudor House, located in the Arrowhead Villas subdivision of Lake Arrowhead, hosted a meet and greet with our 2nd District County supervisor, Janice Rutherford.
Along with the citizens that attended, the California Highway Patrol and other public agencies made an appearance to show support for our County supervisor.
After speaking one-on-one with people in the crowd, Janice addressed various issues with the attendees from the stage. John Conner, owner of the Tudor House, hosted the event.
Janice Rutherford is currently running for reelection as the County supervisor for our Mountain communities. The election is less than a month away.
Second District Supervisor Janice Rutherford has led efforts to balance the County’s budget and restore public confidence in County Government since being elected to the San Bernardino County Board of Supervisors in November 2010. She served as Chair of the Board of Supervisors from January 2013 to January 2015. In June 2014, voters elected her to a second four-year term on the Board of Supervisors.
During her 10 years on the Fontana City Council, Janice worked with her colleagues to provide quality amenities to improve residents’ quality of life, including new parks, community centers, and a 93,000-square-foot regional library.
She also championed the creation of the Fontana Community Assistance Program to connect needy residents with various faith-based and nonprofit groups that offer free and low-cost services in the community.
Never one to shy away from hard work, Janice jumped at the chance to join fellow Fontana Rotary Club members in helping victims of Hurricane Katrina rebuild their Gulf Coast community. She also volunteered her time on various boards and commissions, including the Fontana Boys and Girls Club Board of Directors, the Chaffey College Foundation Board, the Junior State Foundation and the Fontana Art Association.

She current serves on the Board’s Technology, Stationary Source and Legislative committees.

She served as Chief of Staff to State Assemblyman and Senator Bill Leonard, as well as representing him as a Taxpayer Advocate when he served on the state Board of Equalization. Janice and her husband, Steve Lim, are the proud parents of two young boys, Ethan and Noah— which means she spends her free time playing with Legos and Nerf guns.
