Arroyo Grande, CA — Latest campaign finance reports released yesterday show local businessman and community leader, Adam Verdin, outraising his opponent during the last filing period in the race for San Luis Obispo County Supervisor District 4.

During the last financial reporting period, Verdin raised $164,490 compared to just $142,344 from incumbent Supervisor Jimmy Paulding. Paulding relied heavily on special interest groups to raise that sum, having received over $30K in contributions from political action committees in 2025. In contrast, 96% of Verdin’s contributions came from individuals and business owners.

In response to the release of these reports, Verdin stated, “I am so grateful for the generous support we have received from across San Luis Obispo County. I am particularly proud that our campaign is powered by residents and business owners from across the political spectrum, including Democrats, Independents, and Republicans who share our vision for a more safe, affordable and prosperous San Luis Obispo County.”

Adam Verdin grew up in Oceano where his family opened Old Juan’s Cantina 50 years ago. Adam, along with his sister, Eva, proudly continue that long legacy as multi-generational owners of the restaurant. In addition to working as a business owner, Adam is Chief Pilot for an aviation company that owns and operates corporate aircraft.

Adam is an attorney and dedicated community volunteer. He serves on several non-profit boards, including Jack’s Helping Hand, the 5Cities Homeless Coalition, the South County Chambers of Commerce, Parks California, and as a former member of the San Luis Obispo County Airport Land Use Commission.

Adam is running for San Luis Obispo County Supervisor District 4, representing the communities of Arroyo Grande, Black Lake Canyon, Callendar-Garrett, Cuyama, Edna Valley, Halcyon, Huasna-Lopez, Los Berros, Nipomo, Nipomo Mesa, Oceano, and Palo Mesa.
