“Rural California is being left behind, and our communities deserve a leader who will deliver real results in Sacramento. As a two-term Tuolumne County Supervisor, I have brought home historic investments in public safety, broadband, wildfire resilience, and housing.” (Ballotpedia Candidate Connection (2026))
“Working families are getting priced out of California, and that has to change. I am running on the Square Deal, a platform to make life cheaper, better, and more for the people who keep our state running.” (Ballotpedia Candidate Connection (2026))
