Jerry Hill Biography As a San Mateo County Supervisor, Jerry Hill is a leader on the issues that matter to us most: health care, the local economy, the environment and transportation. Hill led the effort to expand health insurance coverage to every child in San Mateo County without raising taxes. Hill has helped foster a healthy local business climate for major employers in the county from Genetech, to Electronic Arts to Oracle. Jerry Hill has fought to preserve thousands of acres of parkland, open space and coastal areas in San Mateo County, while working at the state level on tough limits on air pollution and global warming emissions. That's why he is the only candidate to receive the endorsement of the Sierra Club and California League of Conservation Voters. Hill has helped balance the San Mateo County budget each year during his ten years on the Board of Supervisors with a balanced approach of cuts, belt tightening and fee increases where appropriate. His efforts have left the County in a financially stable position with adequate reserves for unanticipated financial circumstances. In addition to Hill's ten years on the County Board of Supervisors, he also served for seven years on the San Mateo City Council including one term as Mayor. Jerry Hill and his wife Sky live in San Mateo. He has one grown daughter. He owns a small pool cleaning business and has a teaching credential.
