ARROYO GRANDE, Calif. (KEYT) – The race for San Luis Obispo County District 4 Supervisor now has a third candidate.
On Monday, South County businessman Tyler Brewer officially announced his candidacy to run for the office that represents Nipomo, Arroyo Grande, Oceano, Huasna, Edna Valley, California Valley and other unincorporated portions of South San Luis Obispo County.
Brewer joins two other candidates who have already announced their intent to run for the office, incumbent Jimmy Paulding and Oceano businessman Adam Verdin.
Brewer is the owner of Arroyo Grande-based Family Paralegal Associates, a business that provides individuals, families, and small business owners with a wide range of legal document preparation services.
“Our district deserves leadership that listens, leadership that acts, and leadership that puts people before politics,” Brewer said in a release. “As the owner of Family Paralegal Associates, I’ve seen firsthand the challenges families face navigating complicated systems. I’m running to make government work better for the people it’s meant to serve.”
According to Brewer’s campaign website, his priorities include fiscal responsibility, public safety, affordable housing, support for small businesses, and protecting the character of the Central Coast.
It also said Brewer will serve “independent of party insiders” if elected, and will focus on making county government more accessible, transparent, and responsive to the people it serves.
“I am not a politician whatsoever,” said Brewer in an interview Monday. “I believe in working for the public, working for the people, and giving the people that don’t have a voice, a voice. I think that’s what the district four needs is someone that’s willing to work for the people and not someone that is just out there to get votes or to work for their party or to try to get funding for themself for their political campaign. It’s very important that people are represented and the people’s interests are represented.”
Voting for the seat will be held during the Primary Election on Tuesday, June 2, 2026.
According to the San Luis Obispo County Clerk-Recorder Office, which handles elections, the end of the filing period is in December, so additional candidates may later enter the race.
A candidate will need to capture a majority of votes in June to win the election. If not, a runoff will take place during the General Election on Tuesday, Nov. 3, 2026.
Whoever wins the race will be sworn in early January 2027.
