VIDEO: Kirsten Keith Learning Constituent Issues

Menlo Park Mayor Kirsten Keith takes campaign to new level in North Fair Oaks.

The seven candidates in the San Mateo County Board of Supervisors race are beginning to differentiate themselves from each other by embracing different mediums of voter outreach. Some are hosting , while others are extremely in between in-person candidate forums. 

Menlo Park Mayor Kirsten Keith's campaign trail become markedly more sleek today. From day one, it had the classic elements of a campaign such as webpage and the Facebook page. Today, it got a new layer of media. Keith traveled to North Fair Oaks to talk to potential constituents about the issues that trouble their quality of life—on camera. 

A group called "North Fair Oaks Improvement" invited county supervisor candidates to their neighborhood on Sunday to share greivances about a catering business that recently relocated to a space near their homes. Residents say the food factory is odiferous and noisy.
