Doris Gentry, it might be time to graciously back out of this election. Thank your supporters and blame things on a horrible misunderstanding. No harm is done. Have a nice ride out. Your refusal to answer direct questions is astounding. You claim that private schools love your help. I asked you which ones and what exactly were you doing for them and you blocked me on Facebook. You are going on about defunding the police. Is this a rallying cry you keep hearing from the left here in Napa or is this chumming the waters for your base?
Why are you making this an issue? In a promotional video, you seem to think that the problem is sensitivity training for police in dealing with mental health problems. Are you serious? What do you think about the systematic racism in society? Why do you keep saying we have to open schools and yet you offer no plan on how to do it? Have you been working with the school district? Have you even contacted them?
If so, what was the result? You claim to be a teacher. Where and when did you earn your teaching credentials? There are at least two businesses you claimed to own but both say you have grossly exaggerated your role. The only proof that you can come up with that you even worked with them is a letter of recommendation for your role as an office manager.
You claim to be the producer of the Wine and Chocolate event. You told Magazine: We support foster kids — everyone loves that idea. Every dime goes right to the kids. We have zero employees and zero building; we are a true non-profit. Guests love that. Your non-direct answers bring up all sorts of new questions. You are welcome to answer any of these issues below.

I took on the mammoth task of doing one-on-one interviews with the candidates for mayor and city council of Napa. It was a little out of my skill set, but at the same time, it was an incredible two days. I am not a policy wonk and I am not involved with local politics beyond trying to keep my cool as I see a real lack of leadership. I was going to try and edit them a little but I thought it best and most timely to just release them before the election. Two candidate interviews are missing.
