STATEMENT OF CANDIDATES

  • STATE OFFICES
    • U.S. REPRESENTATIVE, District 2
      • CHRIS COULOMBE
        • Candidate statement in English

          Occupation: Small Business Owner

          Education and Qualifications: We clearly cannot continue down our present political path. We can and must choose a better future.
          Partisan politics is destroying our environment, our economy, and our children’s future. This is our country; it is time for all of us to stand.
          It is no longer about party lines. It is about addressing our reality and our future as a country instead of seeking partisan gain.
          We need clear-eyed leaders with well-rounded experience and vision ready to address those challenges and stay focused on the big picture… focused on moving America forward.
          I was born and raised in Sonoma County. After earning my Eagle Scout, I enlisted in the military at 18 and returned home as an infantry captain 16-years later. I earned my BA in politics from the University of San Francisco and my MA in Diplomacy from Norwich University.
          With 24-years of military, business, and policy experience to represent our 2nd District, and your help, we can protect the environment, rebuild small businesses and the middle class to better our children’s future.
          This is our home and we must protect it. Together, we can lead that change.
          It is my honor to ask for your vote to serve our country again.

        • Declaración de candidatos en español

          Ocupación: Propietario de un negocio pequeño

          Educación y cualificaciones: Está claro que no podemos seguir por el camino político actual. Podemos y debemos elegir un futuro mejor.
          La política partidista está destruyendo nuestro medio ambiente, nuestra economía y el futuro de nuestros hijos. Este es nuestro país; es hora de que nos pongamos de pie.
          Ya no se trata de los partidos. Sino que se trata de aceptar nuestra realidad y nuestro futuro como país, en lugar de buscar que gane un partido u otro.
          Necesitamos líderes lúcidos con experiencia y visión integrales, listos para enfrentarse a esos desafíos y mantenerse enfocados en el panorama general... enfocados en hacer avanzar a los Estados Unidos.
          Nací y me crie en el condado de Sonoma. Después de obtener mi Eagle Scout, me alisté en el ejército a los 18 años y regresé a casa como capitán de infantería 16 años después. Obtuve mi licenciatura en Política en la Universidad de San Francisco y mi maestría en Diplomacia en la Universidad de Norwich.
          Con mis 24 años de experiencia militar, empresarial y política para representar a nuestro 2° distrito, y su ayuda, podemos proteger el medio ambiente, reconstruir las pequeñas empresas y la clase media, y mejorar el futuro de nuestros hijos.
          Esta es nuestra casa, y debemos protegerla. Juntos podemos ser líderes de ese cambio.
          Para mí es un honor pedir su voto para volver a servir a nuestro país.

      • JARED HUFFMAN
        • Candidate statement in English

          Occupation: U.S. Representative

          Education and Qualifications: I’m getting things done despite political chaos in Washington. By putting people over politics, I’ve delivered results – the $400M Golden Gate Bridge seismic retrofit, crucial funding for water supply improvements, zero-emission busses and charging infrastructure, public housing improvements, veterans housing, bike and pedestrian pathways, kelp forest restoration and more.
          The prescription drug pricing reform I championed – the first in decades – caps insulin costs for seniors at $35/month and starting next year total drug costs for seniors will never exceed $2,000/year.
          I spearheaded laws to modernize America’s infrastructure – improving roads and bridges, connecting underserved communities with high-speed broadband, modernizing electrical grids, expanding renewable energy and building a national EV charging network.
          We’re finally taking bold action on the climate crisis and I’m leading the charge to do much more.
          I work across the aisle whenever possible, as with my bipartisan initiative that raised IDEA special education funding by $2.5 billion and my rural hospital bill.
          But when democracy, the rule of law, or our fundamental freedoms are threatened, I fight back. That’s why I founded the Stop Project 2025 Task Force - to confront the dangerous authoritarian scheme pushed by Donald Trump and his allies to eliminate checks and balances, impose a nationwide abortion ban, rollback civil rights and end Medicare as we know it. Not on my watch.
          As a senior member of committees on Natural Resources and Transportation and Infrastructure, you can count on me to keep delivering results.
          I would be honored by your vote.

        • Declaración de candidatos en español

          Ocupación: Departamento Representante

          Educación y cualificaciones: Estoy haciendo mi trabajo a pesar del caos político en Washington. Al poner a las personas por encima de la política, he obtenido resultados: la rehabilitación sísmica del puente Golden Gate por valor de $400 millones, el financiamiento crucial para mejoras en el suministro de agua, autobuses de cero emisiones e infraestructura de recarga, mejoras en viviendas públicas, viviendas para veteranos de guerra, senderos para bicicletas y peatones, restauración de bosques de algas marinas y mucho más.
          La reforma de precios de medicamentos que requieren receta que defendí, la primera en décadas, limita los costos de la insulina para adultos mayores a $35 al mes y, a partir del próximo año, el costo total de medicamentos para los adultos mayores no superarán los $2,000 al año.
          Impulsé leyes para modernizar la infraestructura de los Estados Unidos: mejora de carreteras y puentes, conexión con banda ancha de alta velocidad a comunidades desatendidas, modernización de las redes eléctricas, expansión de las energías renovables y edificación de una red nacional de recarga de vehículos eléctricos.
          Finalmente estamos tomando medidas audaces para combatir la crisis climática y estoy liderando la lucha para hacer mucho más.
          Colaboro con la oposición siempre que puedo, como ocurre con mi iniciativa bipartidista que aumentó los fondos de educación especial de IDEA en $2.5 mil millones y mi proyecto de ley para hospitales rurales.
          Sin embargo, cuando la democracia, la ley y nuestras libertades fundamentales se ven amenazadas, doy pelea. Es por ello que fundé el grupo de trabajo destinado a detener el Proyecto 2025, para hacer frente al peligroso plan autoritario impulsado por Donald Trump y sus aliados, que busca eliminar los controles y balances, imponer una prohibición al aborto en toda la nación, reducir los derechos civiles y poner fin a Medicare tal como lo conocemos. Esto no sucederá mientras yo esté a cargo.
          En mi calidad de miembro principal de los comités de Recursos Naturales y de Transporte e Infraestructura, prometo seguir obteniendo resultados.
          Para mí será un honor contar con su voto.

    • CALIFORNIA STATE ASSEMBLY, District 12
      • DAMON CONNOLLY
        • Candidate statement in English

          Occupation: California State Assemblymember

          Education and Qualifications: It is my privilege to serve as your State Assemblymember, ensuring that an experienced local voice represents Marin and Sonoma counties in Sacramento.
          Endorsed by the Sierra Club, California Professional Firefighters, California Teachers Association, local Labor Unions, and Planned Parenthood Northern California Action Fund, I’m a principled progressive and consensus builder who gets things done.
          In just one term in office, I’ve delivered real results, successfully getting five bills signed into law that will keep body armor out of the hands of mass shooters, ensure addictive tobacco products are not sold to teenagers, protect renters living in mobile home parks, reduce teen suicides, and cap the fees charged for residential solar projects. I also continue to build support for legislation to prevent toxic pesticide spraying along our highways.
          On top of these legislative wins, I also secured $5 million in state funding for projects throughout the North Bay for parks, firefighting equipment, affordable housing, and science education.
          I have been fighting for our communities for 18 years, including service as a Marin County Supervisor, Vice-Mayor of San Rafael, School Board President, California Deputy Attorney General and now, as your State Assemblymember and local voice in Sacramento.
          My values are North Bay values, forged by living here for more than 25 years. As your State Assemblymember, I will continue to fight for our priorities in Sacramento: wildfire prevention and home insurance, clean energy, environmental protection, protecting women’s healthcare, equal rights, and more.
          I hope to earn your vote to continue this important work together.

          Ocupación: Asambleísta del Estado de California

          Educación y cualificaciones: Es un privilegio para mí servir como asambleísta estatal, asegurando que una voz local experimentada represente a los condados de Marin y Sonoma en Sacramento.
          Respaldado por el Sierra Club, los Bomberos Profesionales de California, la Asociación de Maestros de California, los sindicatos locales y el Fondo de Acción del Norte de California de Planificación Familiar, soy un progresista de principios y un creador de consenso que sabe obtener resultados.
          En apenas un mandato, he logrado resultados reales: logré que se promulguen cinco proyectos de ley que mantendrán los chalecos antibalas fuera del alcance de los tiradores en masa, que se garantice que no se vendan productos de tabaco adictivos a los adolescentes, que se proteja a los inquilinos que viven en parques de casas móviles, que se reduzcan los suicidios de adolescentes y que se limiten los cargos que se cobran por proyectos solares residenciales. Además, sigo ganando apoyo para que se implementen leyes que eviten que se rocíen pesticidas tóxicos en los márgenes de nuestras autopistas.
          Además de estas victorias legislativas, también obtuve $5 millones en fondos estatales destinados a proyectos en todo el Norte de la Bahía para parques, equipos contra incendios, viviendas de precio accesible y educación en ciencias.
          Llevo 18 años luchando por nuestras comunidades, incluido el servicio como supervisor del Condado de Marin, Vicealcalde de San Rafael, Presidente de la Junta Escolar, Fiscal General adjunto de California y ahora, como su Asambleísta Estatal y voz local en Sacramento.
          Mis valores son los valores del Norte de la Bahía, forjados en los más de 25 años que llevo viviendo en ese lugar. Como su Asambleísta Estatal, continuaré luchando por nuestras prioridades en Sacramento: prevención de incendios forestales y seguros para el hogar, energía limpia, protección ambiental, protección de la atención médica de las mujeres, igualdad de derechos y más.
          Espero ganar su voto para seguir trabajando juntos.

I worked for a local corporate attorney settling property damage, bodily injury, and reviewing workers comp claims. I analyzed safety issues and worked with managers (90) to verify compliance.

          I have lived in Bel Marin Keys for 38 years. My youngest child was born into the community and my older child was 3-months old when we purchased our home. My two children only know Bel Marin Keys as their family home. There is no where else we would ever want to live and I want to be part of our community continuing to prosper, and be more inclusive.
          At UCSF Medical Center, I ran one of the four General Internal Medicine Practices, and very early in my career, I learned to hear people out, actively listened to their concerns and as important, gather input directly from them for a solution. We all need to be respectfully heard.
