Fourth District Supervisor Natalie Arroyo (D) Announces Re-Election Bid

Natalie Arroyo, currently serving as Humboldt County’s elected Fourth District Supervisor, has officially launched her 2026 campaign to continue representing Eureka, Myrtletown, and the Samoa Peninsula communities of Samoa, Finntown, and Fairhaven. She announced her candidacy on Saturday, November 8th at Madaket Plaza in Eureka overlooking Humboldt Bay, surrounded by a crowd of supporters and community partners. The primary election will take place on June 2, 2026.

Longtime Finntown resident, Peninsula Community Services District Board President, and maritime industry expert Leroy Zerlang welcomed the crowd, sharing stories about Madaket Plaza and his many years working closely with Natalie to improve the Samoa Peninsula. Captain Zerlang was followed by local engineer Sheri Woo, who serves on the Humboldt Bay Municipal Water District Board of Directors and frequently engages with Supervisor Arroyo on matters related to everything from energy services to community celebrations. Sheri warmly introduced Natalie Arroyo through many anecdotes of their time together.

Natalie shared several examples of recent positive accomplishments and her passion for serving the community at the local government level, especially in this moment. She thanked the many fellow community leaders present for their collaboration and care in serving Humboldt County. The announcement was followed by a reception just steps away at Phatsy Kline’s Parlor Lounge inside the Historic Eagle House, featuring the lovely music of local duo Ponies of Harmony.

Natalie is thrilled to be bringing her breadth of experience and heartfelt enthusiasm to this role once more. A longtime Eureka resident, Natalie has previously served as a Eureka City Councilmember, watershed restoration specialist, trail planner, college educator, and a proud veteran. Natalie’s message for voters in her district is: “Simply put, I love Humboldt County and am honored to serve as your representative in District 4. These are challenging and dynamic times, and I bring experience, relationships, and knowledge you can count on. Thank you for the opportunity and I hope to earn your vote for a second term!”
