Local Voices Matter in State Policy
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'

Good Public Services Begins with Listening
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

I mean, it's easy to say this when his commute is paid for by the taxpayers!
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!

Serving Those Who Served: A Day at the Placer County Stand Down
Taken from https://www.placerveteransstanddown.org/about-us In 1988, the first ever Stand Down was held in San Diego to support 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

Fix Our Roads!!
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.
