Notable quote: “I know that a lot of people are depending on me to represent the things that they want to see in their community. My children, my neighbors, my friends, are in Citrus Heights. I have a responsibility to get up every day and do the best that I can to make sure that I hold that promise.” (Source: Sacramento Observer)
