Energy & environment
Rural Northern California is a renewable energy powerhouse. We produce a tremendous amount of the clean power that keeps the lights on across this state, but the families who live here are still paying significantly higher electricity bills.
Energy & environment
As a sixth-generation Sacramento Valley farmer, I know there is nothing abstract about water policy. It determines whether our farms can produce, whether our communities have a reliable water supply and whether rural Northern California can continue to thrive.
Taxes & spending
