About Supervisor Susan Peters – Susan Peters was elected to the Sacramento County Board of Supervisors in March 2004 and sworn into office on January 4, 2005 representing the Third District, which includes the communities of Arden Arcade, Carmichael, Foothill Farms and a portion of North Highlands in the unincorporated area as well as the neighborhoods of Campus Commons, College Greens, East Sacramento, River Park and Sierra Oaks in the City of Sacramento.

In her elected capacity, Susan serves on a number of boards including the Sacramento Area Council of Governments, the Sacramento Transportation Authority where she served as chair during 2006, the Sacramento Area Flood Control Authority where she currently holds the position of vice chair, the Sacramento Metro Air Quality District, and the Sacramento Public Library Authority. On the Board of Supervisors her priorities are focused on economic development, community enhancement and neighborhood beautification. Accomplishments to date include the revitalization of both Fulton Avenue and Auburn Boulevard, the streetscape improvements along Watt Avenue, and the planning efforts underway to attract private investment on Fair Oaks Boulevard in Carmichael. To improve the quality of life, she supported the implementation of the Department of Transportation’s Neighborhood Traffic Management Program and was successful in forging a partnership between that department and the California Highway Patrol in creating a maximum enforcement program targeting speeders on major roadways in the unincorporated area.

Susan is a former Board Chairman of the Sacramento Metropolitan Chamber of Commerce, where she spearheaded efforts to locate Raley Field in West Sacramento. She also was the founding chair of the Chamber’s “Perspectives” program, an annual conference hosting international and world leaders speaking on topical subjects, as well as a founding member of the Northern California World Trade Center, and a past president of the Sacramento Theater Company.

As a businesswoman, Susan began her career in banking and later worked beside her now late husband Peter McCuen at McCuen Properties as treasurer for the company. Their efforts led to a redefining of the Sacramento region, including managing the successful reuse of Mather Air Force base into the now thriving Mather Commerce Center.

In addition to her elected duties, she serves as Board Chair of the Leland Stanford Mansion Foundation which restored the historic home of California’s eighth governor.

Susan’s connection to the Third District dates back when she grew up in the Old Foothill Farms area. She currently resides in Arden Arcade and formerly lived in Carmichael.
