64: Pratima Sonavne, Candidate for Contra Costa Clerk-Recorder

On this episode, a chat with Pratima Sonavne, candidate for Contra Costa County Clerk-Recorder. Sonavne is a resident of Danville and founder of Kurious Kids childcare center. She also has 20-years of experience in human resources. We get into why she is running for this position, including cybersecurity concerns and reducing risk of cyber-attacks—including calling for an audit in her first 90-days in office. She wants to also increase the ability for multilingual and working-class families to get services—including ensuring there are weekend hours and opportunities across the county. She also hopes to better utilize technology to ensure better customer support when seeking services. She also hopes to establish benchmarks and make them accessible to the public. We talk about ensuring fair elections, cleaning up voter rolls, vote by mail vs. in person, increasing public participation and where she stands on voter ID and belief if voter fraud is occurring in Contra Costa County.
