I served 9 years as a School Board Trustee in rural, red California from 2011-2020 and became an intentional activist and organizer following the 2016 Presidential Election, co-founding El Dorado Progressives--the largest leftist political organization in the region. Following a run for Congress in California's 4th Congressional District, I founded The Six PAC with the intention of supporting rural progressive House candidates. The mission has expanded to encompass building a progressive majority in the California Legislature and electing more leftist candidates up and down the ballot in California. In the 2022 cycle, we saw a need to support school board candidates across the nation and began our School Board Support fund, which will raise $100,000 for 100 school board candidates in tough and important races across the nation.
