Supervisor Sue Frost says she’s moving out of state after term ends

By Sara Beth Williams–
Citrus Heights resident and current Sacramento County Supervisor Sue Frost on Monday said she will be moving out of state, a similar move that the city’s former Mayor Bret Daniels made several months ago.

Frost made the announcement during her last community meeting in Citrus Heights on Monday night. The meeting was attended by residents and community members, including Citrus Heights City Council members, staff, homeless advocates, and Supervisor Elect Rosario Rodriguez.

“We decided we wanted to go on some adventures together,” Frost said during the community meeting. Frost said she and her husband bought a riverfront property in Arkansas and that she and her husband are “really excited.”

Frost also said she supports Rodriguez as the next Supervisor, who she has “known for years.” Frost described Rodriguez as as a leader who gives back to the community, supports local businesses, and has a lot of the same “core values.”

Rodriguez presented Frost with a bouquet of flowers and said she has “big shoes to fill.”

“It was a very somber goodbye. I’ve known Sue a long time,” homeless advocate Alfred Sanchez, who attended the meeting Monday night, told The Sentinel Tuesday.

Frost, who the Sacramento Bee has called “ultraconservative,” first announced in 2023 that she would not be seeking reelection. Previously, Daniels also announced he would not be seeking reelection and would be moving to Kentucky with his family. In an abrupt turn of events, Daniels resigned from the city council three months before his term expired because he was unable to secure housing within his district after his family moved out of state before him.

Frost joined the Sacramento County Board of Supervisors in 2017, after serving as the Citrus Heights mayor and city councilwoman. She currently represents District 4 on the Board of Supervisors, which includes Citrus Heights, Antelope, Orangevale, Rancho Murieta, Rio Linda, and Elverta.
