Ken Carlson made history last year as the first openly gay supervisor in Contra Costa County's history.
“For many years, growing up here, I never though that’d be a possibility,” said Contra Costa County Supervisor Ken Carlson, who is a lifelong resident of the county.

Carlson had already made history as the first openly gay city councilmember for the city of Pleasant Hill. And before that, he worked as a Concord police officer for nearly three decades.Carlson said he's seen the county’s stance on LGQBTQ issues change over the years and he hopes it continues to move in a positive direction.
