‘Glad he was man enough to resign’: District 2 constituents react to Scrivner’s resignation and election for successor

BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (KGET) — Monday was a big news day for former County Supervisor Zack Scrivner.

For one, the county decided how to fill his vacancy following his resignation.

Secondly, in his civil case, a judge made a ruling on how much Scrivner would be paying monthly for child support.

“He should’ve resigned a long time ago,” said Peter Graff, District 2 resident and supervisorial candidate.

Fellow District 2 resident and trustee on the Kern County Board of Education Lori Cisneros agreed: “I’m glad that he was man enough to resign.”

As did Taft Republican Assembly President Vince Maiocco, who has frequented Board of Supervisors meetings in recent months to call for Scrivner’s resignation.

“[His resignation is] too late,” Maiocco said. “Because this whole thing could’ve been done months ago.”

For the first time in over three months — since the incident at his Tehachapi home on April 23 — the public got a sighting of former District 2 Supervisor Zack Scrivner via Zoom during his family court hearing.
