Cindy Gustafson
Serving as your Placer County District 5 Supervisor Since 2019
Supporting, Protecting, and Working for the Residents and Communities of District 5
“Since 1983, I have been so very fortunate to have lived, worked, recreated, and raised my family in District 5 of Placer County. I have had the opportunity to work with residents and officials throughout the County in a variety of volunteer and professional capacities. Our District 5 is by far the largest (80% of the County’s geography) and has the greatest number of distinct communities, and individual local government agencies, and non-profits working for the residents. District 5 is blessed with amazing natural resources from the foothills to the High Sierra. It is truly a great honor to work for residents and businesses spanning from the edge of Newcastle all the way to Tahoe to address the unique challenges we face.”

About Cindy Gustafson
Mission & Values
I believe in public service and the commitment it takes to make our communities better for all. Since moving to Placer County as a young adult, I committed to many volunteer efforts and built a career around my beliefs that democracy requires public involvement. In April 2019, I was appointed to serve as your Placer County Supervisor, District 5. I was then elected to the seat in March of 2020. I feel very fortunate to live, work and serve in Placer County. For more than 40 years, it’s the place I’ve raised my family and feel lucky to call home.
District 5 is the largest and most diverse District in the County, spanning from Newcastle eastward to the High Sierras. All of our communities have incredible natural resources, and strong, identifiable communities. Our District’s needs are complex and require a collaborative approach. I have remained registered as No Party Preference and work hard to represent all constituents. Throughout my career and now more than ever, I see a need to work in a bipartisan way that allows me to truly be a problem solver. I have maintained positive working relationships with elected officials from both political parties in order to best serve local needs. It is an honor to work on behalf of our residents to address our challenges.
