Dalmas (Dal) Bunn ~ "I see people crying to be heard," Dal Bunn said. "There's a lack of follow-through." In East Kern, he said, encroachment by big industry "is pushing out the little people." A 50-year Kern County native, Bunn's campaign slogan is "Not a pro, just an ordinary Joe working for all the Joes." With a background in construction, big budgets, hiring and firing, "I am the only one of the four (candidates) who ever made payroll on a large scale. I know the reality of keeping people employed." He lists public safety, land use issues and mental illness services as crucial concerns. He is manager of the 40,000-acre Loop Ranch.
