California State Assembly District 40

“I’m a single mom, and prior to serving in the Assembly I was a small business owner — I know firsthand how hard it is to pay the bills when the cost of everything keeps going up. Too many people in our community are doing the right things — working hard, raising families, and playing by the rules — yet still struggling to afford gas, groceries, insurance, and housing. That’s why I ran for Assembly and why ever since, I’ve fought every day to lower costs, cut waste, protect taxpayers, and bring more than $106 million home to our community — all without raising taxes.” (Campaign website (pilar4ca.com))

“Rickey wants to restore public safety in our communities by enforcing California laws, rolling back Prop 47, upholding Prop 36, and making theft and hard drug use crimes. Rickey also believes that enforcing our laws will help get the homeless off the streets and into the treatment they need.” (Ballotpedia Candidate Connection (2026))

“Rickey believes we must restore local control of zoning and land-use decisions. Sacramento's one-size-fits-all policies don't work, and ignores the input of community members who knows what fits their neighborhoods best.” (Ballotpedia Candidate Connection (2026))

“Lowering energy costs and protecting public safety are two issues Rickey is passionate about given his experience. As a Marine Corps veteran, former police officer, and electrical grid expert, Rickey understand that reliable and affordable energy is not political, it’s essential for families, public safety, and our economy.” (Ballotpedia Candidate Connection (2026))
