Vice-Chairman and
First District Supervisor
County of San Bernardino, California
Brad Mitzelfelt is Vice-Chairman of the Board of Supervisors for San Bernardino
County, California – the elected governing body of the largest and 12th most populated
county in the contiguous United States. His Mojave Desert district includes the
cities of Victorville, Apple Valley, Hesperia and Adelanto in the Victor Valley,
as well as Needles on the Colorado River. His First District also includes unincorporated
communities spanning more than 15,000 square miles from Wrightwood in the San Gabriel
Mountains to Trona to Baker, and bordering Arizona and Nevada.
During his tenure over the past five years, Supervisor Mitzelfelt significantly
helped advance a significant expansion of the county’s jail system during a time
when counties have been bracing to take on thousands of additional inmates and parolees
due to the state’s prison overcrowding.
During the recent economic downturn, the Supervisor has helped stimulate the region’s
economy by helping secure hundreds of millions of dollars’ worth of infrastructure
construction. And he significantly helped establish Victor Valley College’s School
of Aviation Technology at the Southern California Logistics Airport in Victorville.
The Supervisor is Immediate Past President of San Bernardino Associated Governments
(SANBAG), the county’s transportation and regional planning authority, and he is
Chairman of the Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCo) and the Mojave Desert
Air Quality Management District and he represents the county on several dozen other
local and regional boards and commissions.
Brad is a veteran of 10 years of active and reserve military service, including
participation as a U.S. Marine in Operations Desert Storm and Desert Shield in Kuwait
and Saudi Arabia. He earned a Bachelor of Science Degree in Business and Management
from the University of Redlands. He and his wife, Megan, have two children.
