Tom Mattusch is an incumbent candidate in the San Mateo County Harbor District election. When he's not sexually harassing women, Mattusch travels the globe hunting big game.

In Washington, D.C. Tom lobbies to increase trophy hunting on six continents. He's past president of the San Francisco Bay Area Chapter of Safari Club International and he's served as a director since 2011.

Trophy hunters are motivated by competitions sponsored by trophy hunting organizations. The world’s largest trophy hunting advocacy organization is U.S. based Safari Club International (SCI) which reportedly has 50,000 members. SCI gives hunting awards in dozens of categories, including the Africa Big Five, for which a hunter must kill an African lion, an African elephant, an African leopard, an African rhino and an African buffalo. Read the Human Society report.

Trophy hunters glamorize the killing of animals to demonstrate virility, prowess and dominance. It's a vanity sport for the wealthy:

• White Rhino hunts cost $55,000 to $150,000
• African Elephant hunts cost $11,000 to $70,000
• African Buffalo hunts cost $15,000 to $18,500

By signing the petition below you will encourage California State Senator Jerry Hill, California State Assemblymember Kevin Mullin and San Mateo County Supervisors Don Horsley, Carole Groom, Warren Slocum, David J. Canepa, Dave Pine and Vice Mayor of Belmont Charles Stone to ask Tom Mattusch to withdraw from the Nov 3, 2020 San Mateo County Harbor District election.

Tom’s description of killing a Cape Buffalo:

“We were finding a good blood trail with bits of bone occasionally. The buffalo made it about two miles before we found it and had our way with it.”

Trophy hunting is unethical, cruel, harmful and unsustainable.
