Accountability promotes transparency in a Democracy by ensuring that those in power are answerable for their actions, decisions and policies. Transparency allows citizens to have access with full disclosure of information about how government functions and how it uses THE PEOPLE's resources and tax dollars. Even as candidates, elected officials should be expected to be transparent about their personal beliefs and allegiances. Transparency helps prevent corruption, misuse of power and unethical behavior. It allows citizens to hold their elected officials accountable and make informed decisions during elections. When leaders are held accountable, it demonstrates their commitment to serving the public interest. This helps build trust and confidence in the government, as citizens can see that their concerns are being acknowledged or addressed. Trust is essential for any healthy relationship and absolutely imperative when someone is voted into office to represent you as a citizen. Some of our local and State representatives have eroded the trust of THE PEOPLE by not disclosing their affiliation to Anarchy and other undemocratic allegiances while campaigning for their election. Eureka City Council-member G. Mario Fernandez failed to disclose to his Ward 3 constituents the fact that he is an author and organizer for Humboldt Grassroots, an anarchist group that promotes violence, rioting and blowing up police departments as a solution to achieve their ideological goals. When Council-member Fernandez was asked why he did not disclose this information as a candidate, he responded with 'Nobody asked.' This is a blatant violation of THE PEOPLE's expectations for transparency. Unfortunately, other members of the City Council and local government officials continue to support and endorse Councilmember Fernandez and his affiliation with this local violent anarchist group. This continued support is a blatant violation of THE PEOPLE's expectations for accountability. CRDV will continue to expose these violations and begin the initial process to recall Council-member G. Mario Fernandez of Ward 3.
