Angela's Story

Angela Curro represents District 4 on the San Benito County Board of Supervisors, serving the residents of South County, southeast Hollister, Tres Pinos, Ridgemark, and Paicines. With a public service career spanning more than 30 years, Angela brings deep experience in elections administration, government operations, infrastructure development, and fiscal oversight. Her work is grounded in transparency, accountability, and a strong dedication to community-driven decision-making.

​

Angela began her career in local government in 1987 in Santa Clara County, where she worked in the county jail system before transferring to the Registrar of Voters Office. Elections administration quickly became her professional calling, leading to nearly a decade of service to Santa Clara County voters and later the City and County of San Francisco’s Department of Elections. During this time, she strengthened her legislative expertise through statewide training and leadership roles with the California Association of Clerks and Election Officials.

​

In 2000, Angela transitioned to the private sector as a project engineer for a local general contractor, working on large-scale projects including Gilroy Gardens (formerly Bonfante Gardens) and numerous affordable housing developments. For more than a decade, she coordinated multimillion-dollar contracts and complex subcontractor operations, gaining firsthand insight into small business challenges, housing needs, and infrastructure delivery.

 

Angela returned to public service in 2011 as San Benito County’s Assistant County Clerk-Recorder-Registrar of Voters, a position she held until her early retirement in 2020. In this role, she modernized and streamlined department operations, expanded public accessibility, and ensured fair, transparent, and secure elections. She later returned to elected office, where she continues to advocate for public health and safety, responsible budgeting, strong infrastructure, sustainable agriculture, and the protection of San Benito County’s natural resources.

​

As a Supervisor, Angela serves on numerous county, regional, state, and national boards and committees, representing San Benito County on critical policy issues ranging from agriculture and rural development to fiscal governance, behavioral health, mobility, aging services, and environmental stewardship.
