From the Auburn Community Podcast - October 17, 2026 During my 26 years working in the Legislature, I had a front-row seat during floor sessions for both the Senate and the Assembly. In all those years, I missed maybe three or four of those sessions. And yes, I really did listen to every debate on every bill brought up for a vote. What frustrated me most was watching legislation pass that placed new responsibilities on cities and counties without providing the resources they'

Auburn Community Podcast - October 17, 2026 Throughout my career, I've learned that good public service starts with listening. It means being open to different perspectives, setting aside assumptions, and recognizing that I don't always have all the answers. Sometimes, the most important thing I can do is just bring the right people together. When you cast your vote this election, I hope you'll consider the value of experience, an open mind, and a genuine commitment to workin

When I decided to run for office I decided on three non-negotiables.

Earlier this month I sat down with Westpark High School student Derwinne for her Doodling with Derwinne series.

Arthur is thoughtful, dependable, and always willing to dig into a project and help the team wherever he can. We’re glad he’s been along for the ride and even more excited to see what he does next!

Introducing Team Tuesdays! We’re kicking off a new weekly installment highlighting the team and the work they’re doing to build this campaign from the ground up!

Earlier this month, my opponent bragged online about commuting from his Tahoe home to Sacramento for session. "From the lake to the swamp in one morning" he said. As if we're supposed to take pity on him for having to endure "the swamp" to represent us. We called him out of course. I mean, it's easy to say this when his commute is paid for by the taxpayers!

Taken from https://www.placerveteransstanddown.org/about-us In 1988, the first ever Stand Down was held in San Diego to support homeless veterans. It was created by Vietnam veterans Robert Van Keuren and Dr. Jon Nachison as a community-based intervention to provide rest, food, and services for homeless veterans. The term "stand down" refers to allowing active combat troops a time to rest, recover, and tend to basic needs. The first time I volunteered for a Stand Down was seve

For source information, click on graphic. Before we end the month, I want to acknowledge that April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month. This year marks 25 years since the month of April was designated to bring awareness and prevention to sexual violence and assault. And although opinions are thankfully changing, this graphic illustrates that many Americans are still experiencing some form of sexual assault or harassment, much of which begins before the age of 12. It's importan

I sat down again with Sharon Watson-Hamilton of the American Association of University Women to talk a bit about myself, the campaign, and current local events.

Today, several women came forward with allegations of rape and sexual misconduct against Re. Eric Swalwell.

It's yard sign time! Supporters can request one with a donation to the campaign, every sign helps show the strength of our movement and shares my name!

I can't fix a road on my own. I pay taxes so that the government, which exists to do for me what I can't do for myself, can. I don't want that money to go to bailing out a company that made billions last year and gave a part of those earnings to political campaigns.

I’m honored to have the support of the California Women’s List, an organization committed to electing women who are ready to lead and fight for equity across our state.

In 2010, California passed AB 1775, which honors several people and groups with designated days, one of which is March 30, "Welcome Home Vietnam Veterans" Day.

I wrote an opinion piece in response, but the Bee declined to print it. Below is what would have been published.

I’m honored to receive the endorsement of the California Democratic Party. It’s a recognition of a campaign grounded in people, standing up for working families, protecting our rural communities, and making sure government works for everyone. Our district deserves to be the priority, not a political launching pad. I’m running to bring resources home, listen to what our communities need, and do the work to deliver real results. And while this endorsement comes from Democrats,

Neva Parker stands by a cart stacked with some of the 2,000 diapers donated to Lighthouse Counseling in Lincoln. Auburn Journal By Dan Araujo Jan 30, 2026 2:00 PM One of the fundamental tenets of a society is that we treat each other in a civil way. One of the ways that is accomplished is by recognizing the humanity in one another. This is especially important when it comes to people we disagree with and are against. For Neva Parker, leadership has always equaled compassion;
