Candidates addressed pressures on volunteer emergency services and availability of mental-health and substance-use treatment in remote parts of the district.
Drake said volunteer departments face aging membership and training access problems and called for more local forest-fire training and on-the-ground sessions. Nolan noted the county now subsidizes emergency services and supports training, mobile mental-health units and an emergency center with 24-hour access; she also pointed to county management of opioid settlement funds and peer-led harm-reduction programs.
