Hello, I’m Mimi Garner.
I came to District 5 with a dream — and turned 1,280 acres
into one of Northern California’s most recognized communities.
I built the Frank Lloyd Wright designed Nakoma Clubhouse,
Gold Mountain gated development and the spectacular Dragon golf course.
"I am not afraid to challenge dysfunction—and
that’s a leadership trait many avoid.

I’ve created jobs, boosted tourism, and helped grow our local
economy for over 30 years.
Now it’s time to bring that same energy to county government.
Let’s strengthen our infrastructure, hold government accountable,
support small businesses, and protect our rural lifestyle.
District 5 can soar — and I know how to make it happen.
I will always put District 5 First. Let’s build the future together.
Vote For Mimi Garner for Supervisor.

District 5 isn’t just where I work — it’s home.
For three decades, I’ve built businesses here, created local jobs, and worked side-by-side with property owners and small businesses.
I understand what it takes to grow our economy
while protecting our rural character.
As your Supervisor, I’ll put you first and fight for responsible spending,
better infrastructure, public safety, and transparent leadership.
District 5 deserves someone with experience — and heart.
I’m Mimi Garner, and I’d be honored to earn your vote.

Garner believes the county government must reduce spending
and restore fiscal discipline before considering any new taxes. She supports transparent budgeting, measurable results, and protecting seniors and full-time residents living on fixed incomes from unnecessary tax increases.
“Government should live within its means, just like our families,
seniors, and small businesses do,” Garner said.
I oppose the 1% Increase in sales tax to help balance the budget. Cut spending first, sell off poorly managed assets first.

Garner supports responsible tourism, year-round outdoor
recreation, small business expansion, and leveraging high-speed internet infrastructure to attract remote workers and entrepreneurs.
She believes District 5 can grow economically without
sacrificing its rural character and quality of life.
“Our graduates don’t have to leave to succeed,” Garner said. “We can create opportunity and good-paying jobs right here at home while protecting the lifestyle that makes our region so special.”
Garner brings extensive experience managing budgets,
overseeing large teams, guiding development projects, and
working with both public and private stakeholders

Garner pledges to put District 5 first.
Mimi is committed to bringing together, improving communication
from county leadership, and aggressively pursuing outside
grants and funding for infrastructure and community projects.
“District 5 has everything it needs to soar,” Garner said. “With strong leadership and focused priorities, we can move from stalled to action.”
Garner believes her extensive business experience and the
successful development of the Nakoma community demonstrate
her ability to deliver results and serve District 5 effectively.

Unlike many candidates who campaign on ideas alone,
Mimi Garner brings the rare perspective of a builder and
entrepreneur who has successfully created
businesses and communities.
Before arriving in
Plumas County in 1995, Mimi owned businesses that helped regional independent banks transition from adding machines to desktop computers and built a successful agricultural operation in Mexico employing more than 600 workers.
In 1995 she purchased 1,280 acres of raw land in
Eastern Plumas County and transformed it into the
nationally recognized
Gold Mountain community, Nakoma and the Dragon golf course and the LIFE Magazine 1997 House of the Year.
The $65 million project continues to generate
over $750,000 annually in property tax revenue and
untold hotel and sales taxes that supports the local tourism industry creating
good local jobs.
Today, Mimi brings more
than three decades of
private-sector leadership,
local investment, and community involvement to the race for District 5 Supervisor.
Mimi believes the experience
of building businesses, managing large projects,
and investing in a community long-term brings a perspective to county government that is often missing.
Mimi proudly calls District 5 home for over 30 years.

This election isn’t about me.
It’s about you, the tax paying people of District 5.
It’s about choosing someone who will represent your interests, protect your tax dollars, and help move our communities forward.
As part of her campaign, Mimi is distributing a
voter survey to better understand the
priorities of residents, property owners, and taxpayers.
“Leadership begins with listening first,” Mimi says. This is the third time Mimi has run against the incumbent which reflects her determination and commitment to serving Plumas County. It also means the incumbent has been in office long enough.
Mimi has spent years studying on how county government operates so that when the time comes, she will be ready to serve effectively.
Mimi has extensive
experience serving on boards and community organizations.
She helped establish several homeowners associations and Community Services Districts.
Mimi currently serves as President of the Eastern Plumas Recreation District, which is working to build new community centers that promote health and recreation for local residents.
Mimi is also active in her church and the Calpine Elks Lodge, and enjoys helping small businesses with business formation, websites, and grant writing.

She promises to always
ask one important question before casting a vote:
“Is this decision good for the people of District 5?”

in this race who is NOT currently employed by
Plumas County government,
which means she WILL bring a new, independent perspective focused on tax-payers and community needs.
