In a political landscape as dynamic as Tahoe’s mountain terrain, County Supervisor Brooke Laine is charging forward with her re-election campaign, proving she’s not just another bureaucrat, but a true advocate for the basin’s complex needs.

Laine’s announcement to seek a second term in District V isn’t just political posturing, it’s a commitment backed by a seriously impressive track record. From tackling vacation rental chaos to navigating fire district mergers, she’s been laser-focused on solving the region’s most pressing challenges.

Vacation Rental Revolution

Take the Vacation Home Rental Ordinance, for instance. This wasn’t some top-down mandate, but a collaborative effort involving 12 local residents who dedicated hundreds of hours to crafting meaningful change. With over 845 personnel hours invested, the new ordinance represents grassroots policy-making at its finest.

Keeping Tahoe Moving

Transportation and infrastructure have been key priorities for Laine. She’s championed everything from crosswalk improvements in Pollock Pines to establishing an Emerald Bay Transit Pilot Project. Her commitment to public transit in the basin’s unincorporated areas shows she’s thinking beyond quick fixes.

Community-Driven Governance

What sets Laine apart is her genuine connection to constituents. By establishing a district-wide Community Advisory Council and the Measure S Advisory Committee, she’s created transparent channels for community input. Her promise is clear: “I am responsive to you, the residents of El Dorado County”.

From negotiating fire district merges to keeping the Transient Occupancy Tax conversations alive, Laine has demonstrated that local politics isn’t about grandstanding, it’s about pragmatic problem-solving.

As she gears up for the June 9, 2026 election, one thing is certain: Brooke Laine isn’t just running for another term. She’s running to continue the work of building a more responsive, connected Tahoe community.
