Church
When Campaigning, Church suggested educational excptionalism as valedictorian of his Hartnell College class. He stated he went on to UC Santa Cruz (UCSC) for further studies but the way he expressed that was vague.  His lack of identification of a college degree was noted but most may have assumed he got one because of his smarts, and he just didn't want to gloat about it. Maybe he was an "engineer" for example, and he didn't want to alienate himself from others. 

However,  at this time it's unclear how long he was at UCSC or if he got any college degree at all.  While no college degree was promised or is required, if he doesn't have one, I believe some who looks back on his campaign writing may see that as one of several examples of suggestive writing that can now easily be viewed as a prior pattern. 

Vierra
As for Vierra, she seems to have gone to a local, private elite highschool.  That suggests the gift and benefit of family money. It looks as if she has at least one and possible several college degrees in Liberal Arts.  Her evasive writing style was learned somewhere. Nobody comes out of the birth canal with those skills.   She also seems to teach high school kids how to read and write.  Where did she learn her skills and is that what she's teaching to others before they learn the importance of honesty and integrity?

Church
When Campaigning, Church indicated he ran the family Christmas tree farm and a landscaping company and that he was the Founder of Pacific Coast Soils. 

At that time i did a search for Pacific Coast Soils and nothing came up.  Without more facts I had to assume they just all kind of went together around the Christmas Tree farm small business.  You know what happens when you make assumptions right?

When issues with evasive emails came up I started digging, and here's what I found... 

On 6/28/1999  Pacific Coast Soils Inc was incorporated. 

Glenn Warren Church was listed as the Agent at 377 Hidden Valley Road - Royal Oaks CA 95076. 

His biography says he started a landscaping business around 1977 when he started college.  What name did he do business under from 1977 to 1999? Why did he decide to create this in 1999? 

Around 2003,  Church's first website for his landscape business and/or "Pacific Coast Soils" (www.pacificcoastsoils.com) went online.  (thanks be for the "wayback machine" or we'd never have figured this out). 

Oddly that website did not list his name nor provide any mailing address for the business but all the info fits to be his business.   Check it out for yourself (link omitted, use the wayback machine or AI). 

Having a website that early made him a commercial leader --and if you've never seen an early commercial website check it out.  His was advanced for the time and typical

In 2006 the County of Santa Cruz published a 2 page PDF/resource guide for product and service providers for residents and/or the county. 

In the bottom left corner of page 2 of 2, Pacific Coast Soils was listed as a mulch and landscaping vendor. 

The Contact Name was "Glen Church" with 1 n. Likely just a careless typo. 

The  address for Church and Pacific Coast Soils was simply "Marina".   

His production capacity then was 5,000 tons a year. That is about 10,000 cubic yards a year -- and at $30/yard that was a $300,000 business in just mulch back then. That's a lot of money back then. 

That's it, and if you re local, you just got your first hit. 

Marina is the home to the "county dump".  An expensive and privately run (or is it public?)  -- that the county seems to have to enter no-bid contracts with for various services.  At that dump there are MOUNTAINS of smoking mulch that is collected from county residents who have to pay money to a private company (or is it public?)  to process. 

Church, on the other hand,  lives on Hidden Valley Road north of the Slough and north of Marina by 10 miles or so -- and seems always to have.  

Is Glenn a part owner of that private dump (or is it public?)    Was his Dad?

Is Glenn part owner of the private business that processes and sells the mulch from that dump?  Was his dad?  Were they?

Was Glenn a salesperson with special access to to selling that material at better rates than others from that dump (based on a comment on his 2015 website)?

If Glenn is making decisitons about agreements with the Dump and/or Waste Managment now, as a Superivsor with ties back to the dump that have NOT been disclosed properly, if they exist, how bad is that conflict of interest?

Around 2015  a newer, modern website went online for "Pacific Coast Soils".   

Unlike the prior website, the new one lists Glenn Church as the founder and owner.  (use the wayback machine or AI)

It presents him as a highly sought after soils consultant and landscape supplier for companies up and down the entire state of California and beyond.  

It  provides details about his consulting work with S & P 500 companies, the State of California, Stanford, Real Estate Developers and more --  and his annual sale of 25-30,000 cubic yards of mulch.

That robust 2015 website has a contact us page. That page had a contact form , an email address and phone number. 

However, it stated the physical address was no longer listed because they had  shifted to deliveries only.  

Problem?  The prior website that was online from 2003 to 2015  didn't have a physical address either, nor did that one even list his name.   

In 2006 he was doing 5,000 tons or 10,000 yards. By this point he's up to 30,000 cubic yards. That's about  $ Million a year in mulch sales alone.   That breaks down to about $4000/day in mulch sales.  

Have you evere met anyone selling $4,000 in mulch a day with no physical business address?

From the perspective of Microsoft, that's a tiny business, but for the rest of us in small business, that's not remotely what comes to mind when a cut-it-yourself Christmas Trees farm was  the only focus we were given to hang our hat on during his campaign.  

On 12/26/2017 Glenn Church dissolved Pacific Coast Soils, Inc , per the Secretary of State.  

Who does that?  Who dissolves a consulting business?  Was the sales business sold off? 

You can sell of a sales business but not a consulting business if you are the knowledge keeper. 

Why aren't we seeing any revenue statements for a consulting business?  That is a dream network to build up over decades.  The stress would be low.  There is low to no risk or overhead. 

What's going on here you might ask? 

I did, and then a shallow google search returned another clue...

Around 2019 church took his Pacific Coast Soils website offline

The pacific coast soils website stayed online for 1-2 years after the company was dissolved. 

As of December 2025 Church  has a DOT registration for a truck for Pacific Coast Soils Inc. it's registered to his last knwn residence on Hidden Valley Road and the phone number listed is the same as 2006.    

This suggests Church is still engaaged in that business although it was officialy dissolved in 2017.  And that makes sense, because who gives up a money maker like that?   PROBLEM:  Church's 700 form filings starting with his assuming office forms don't mention Pacific Coast Soils or any other business comparable as might be expected to explain this situation. 

And then there's the CIA connection...

One statement found somewhere says Church had so much expertise,  Leone Panetta (ex Local Attorney, local  Politician, US Congressman and Director of the CIA) asked him to testify in front of Congress.   How many "small business people" do you know with that close of a connection to CIA? 

Is that why he hid his website years prior to getting into Politics?

Vierra's  family roots in the Elkhorn Slough date to the 1850s just prior to the Church family(ies).   Ironically if you look at their photos it almost looks like they have similar nose shapes as if they may even be related somehow but that's just an observation. 

Her dad seemed to be a local public school teacher -- yet it seems she went to an elite highschool, and got college educated.  Somewhere it seems to state she moved to Hawaii (with spouse presumably but not known) -- where she raised 5 kids. Then she moved back to family land in Moss Landing (All years unknown at this time).    

From 2015 to 2021 she was a teacher at  Salinus High School.  It looks like she may have worked as a substitute the first year while earning $4000. Then she made $50,000. Then she made $120,000?  

She is listed only as "Teacher" in public payroll records, but one year they listed her as "Teacher-read 180" but the others she's just "Teacher". Her peers are listed as "English Teacher, Math Teacher, Science Teacher" but she's just listed at "Teacher'.   Her final year in 2021 she made almost $140,000.  Those with Math and Scient background are making $160,000/year.  That's shocking money for public school teachers. Hopefully they are producing "computer literate children" but that does not seem to be the case?

Read 180 seems to be  for slow readers who are more than 2 years behind. When you read Vierras responses, ask yourself if a person that can create that type of confusion in writing really seems to be a good fit for someone struggling in reading and writing already. 

And Since when did Teaching Highschool become so lucrative? 

 Are any of them making up their own educational plans? 

Aren't they all pretty much following the scripts of others now? if so, wages should have gone down, not up,right?

Vierra currently makes $130,000 as Glenn Church's Chief of staff with seemingly no prior political management or public leadership experience. 

Vierra also apparently "lives for free" (or almost free) on famlily land right next to the Moss Landing Power plant.  (per FPP dialogue in 2025)

Can you imagine living for free and making $130,000 a year doing something you had little experience doing knowing you could probably fall back to a $140,000 job as a "Teacher"?

Is there anyone who's famly has lived in the area for 160 years with ties to Hawaii that may not be engaged with the Dole or Del Monte Families in some form or another? Or are the old Whaling families actually still around?

Church filed is first SEI 700 filings for assuming office via paper.  They were filed just after election/inaguration and then amended quickly. (at the time this was originally written) they have not been obtained yet because they must be retrieved in person. 

His 2024 and 2025 filings were via e-file and are availble at the Monterey County Clerk's  website. 

Concerns

1. He's listed as a Director on 12 or more major boards? But where are the 27 that he admitted to in his 100 days in office video with the League of Women Voters? 

2. Some of these boards may be relatd to trash or recycling  --and from a deeper dive into Pacific Coast Soils there may be conflct of interest

3. He's a real estate invester via real estate partnerships  which were totally off the radar during his campaign -- but the addresses are not complete and there are no APNs. That's not proper reporting, why did the Clerk accept that? 

4. In other real estate reporting,  he's listed numerous APNs suggesting value below 10,000. Where in CA is ther an APN with a value of less than 10,000? Needs further invesigation

5. There is NOTHING about a business that might be a substitute for his consulting work with Pacific Coast Soils

6. There is NOTHING about a business that might be a substitute for his sales work with Pacific Coast Soils

7. He is listing invovlement in businesses known to be used for money laundering  (publishing and antique businesses). That's worth noting. 

This is concerning. Nothing can be discerned from this as would have been expected...

NOTE: this was written BEFORE a visit to the Clerks office to obtain his 2023 paper filings and before it was discovered the FPPC posted copies of his data too and BEFORE it was disccoverd he had engaged in "bifurcated e-filing" -- by filing different data with the county and state. 

27 Committes + Sub committees -- In a video chat with the League of Women Voters 100 days into office, Church has stated he is on 27 committees and more subcommittees as part of supervisor. He has stated only 2 or less supervisors can sit on those due to brown act.  The sheer volume of the committees is illogical. However with that number of committees it would enable enough combinations fo 2 supervisors that they can in fact use those to create coalition without three or more gathering at one time. that is one possible explanation for the illogical committee count.   But oddly he doesn't disclose 27 committees on his SEI 700 forms?  

POU/POE Ordince  - Around 2018 Church became engaged in the POU/POE ordinance. That's just after he formally shut down  his Pacific Coast Soils business with the Secretary of State . The core problem with the ordinance is that it did not a nd does no delineate systems with 2-4 , 5-14 and 15+ connections.  Only 15+ are subject to "drinking water MCL enforcement".  The others are subject to testing and notice but there is no enforcement mechanism. Yet the POU/POE ordinance suggests it can force itself on all systems.    At this time it's hard to tell if this was a sloppy attempt at sincere support for systems of 15-200 that got hijacked with or without his understanding by the Environmental Health Bureau people OR if they are all in some type of unlawful commercial benefit. there is a 130 million pot available for grants for POUs and POEs for "Disadvantaged Communities" (DAC) that may hve made for a target for economic gain for such an ordinance. "Somehow" all supervisors came to a very wrong conclusion about the legality of the POU/POE ordinace while ignoring completely the most cost effective solutions. That can't happen without coordination . Not even woeful ignorance can explain that given most on the well system use kiosks or 5 gallon jugs for water and those wer totally omitted by all 5 supervisors for  dialogue

ADU Ordinance - The ADU Ordinance for the coastal zone was 9 years late.  Various suppression and deflection techniques seem to have been used . Church's father was the political leader fo the NIMBY movement and suppression of growth in the 1960s and 1970s. If Church was bent the same way, he may have been willfully delaying that work starting in the late 2010s and after his election. Even with the coastal zone ordinance passed, the Housing and Community Development website is hiding massive details for the conversion of existing spaces.   UPDATE:  the state level Hex Chrome 6 contaiminate implemenation with no notice seems to have likely been tied to ADU and new development suppressions.  Once that odd statute was implemented the Coastal Zone ADU ordinance was finally released and now it can be seen how it can be used to suppress building permits when COMBINED WITH the POU/POE Ordinance. 

Water System Registration  Fees - Church denied knowledge of fee increase reasons when in fact he and all other supervisors were presented with facts suggesiong they were operating at a loss.  That math makes no sense when a basic analysis is done and Church, as a business person and small water systm owner had all the insight to know that when 3 raises were approved. 

Private Well (and all Well) Registraiotn by third party -  Church approved a new registration fee system for all wells.  The approval resulted in equal pricing for all wells, not based on connection which is illogical.  Church seems to be a director on the board of the company/government entity benefitting from these new fees and it seems his involvement in any approval for such fees was conflicted. 

Waste Mangement / Dump Concerns - Since his inaguration Waste Management (the national company) has created some bizarre new pricing penalties for overfilling bins -- and they created a new "call center" to support Monterey County business. The waste management people at that national level did not even know about it initially.  It's as if somone locally has setup a system to profit or skim on waste management contracts via an intermediate layer of support services.   If Church as ties back to the Marina dump as is suspected, there seems to be potential conflcts of interest. 

Dump - Treated Lumber fees -  Church was presented with obvious and simple facts about an illogical $50 flat rate for even a single piece of treated lumber.  He feigned ignorance and deflected when it all sould have been well within his purview as a soils expert. Possible conflicts of interest with Dump ownership or business ties, board work or other.  

Real Estate Brokerage Fraud -  it turnes out there are 150+ "Churchs" licensed as sales people and brokers across CA.  Given his 160 year family history it's presumed some of those are probably related and original land owners would know a lot more about real estate transactions than those who came along later. Church refused to engage in dialogue about 40 year systemic fraud in real estate contracts.  It's possible that was done due to konwledge of the problem and/or family ties to the insutry and problem.  NOTE: this was written before it was known he owned $12M+ in commercial real estate , had over 45 commerical tenants and had partnerships inside LLC's with Licensed Real Estate Brokers.  He just "forgot to to disclose that" when he should have. 

Moss Landing Battery Plant -  Church suggeseted he made no statments or presenstations at the town hall  about the fire and responsibility concerns when in fact he opened that town hall with a 10 minute talk. During that meeting the fire Chief shared a story about needing his approval and sign off for the plant/safety or other.  Church suggested in writing none of  that transpired in that meeting.  There seems to be a total lack of transparency on Monterey County Failures coming from Church on this matter and many others. 

Judicial and Court Fraud - Church refused to meet to discuss the violation of rights to public documents and many other issues that are procedural or concerning. 

Other --  there's more... 

This was originally written in December 2025 and it was a lot to digest. 

When this was written - there was no way to know that just weeks later, it would be discovered that Church had committed massive acts of Perjury on his county and state filed forms  in 2024, 2025 and 2026 by providing differnt data to the County and State.   Nor that as part of that he had  1) omitted 12M+ in commercial real estate, 45+ commercial tenants, and partnerships in LLCs with Real Estate Brokers 2) his wifes job as Editor with local news outlets 3) the true breadth of the 27+ committees he was on   4) special treatment he had gotten with condo purchases in an Antique Mall 5) seemingly improper benefits on tax assessments and permitting on properties  6) additional real estate holdings outside of Monterey county and much more. 

Indeed there is much to digest -- and this website is intended to show what it was that caused these investigations to start with.
