Notable quotes:
“Our family moved here in 2005 and it was the best decision we’ve ever made. The people of Folsom are what makes it special and why I love it. Our city tagline “Distinctive by Nature” says it all. We all live here because we love community and family activities, we love having rivers, lakes, mountains and an ocean close-by and we love the rich history of this place. It’s in our nature.” (Source: Folsom Telegraph, Oct. 20, 2022)


“Folsom’s future is very, very bright. In 2021, I look forward to continuing to build homes, continuing to welcome new neighbors, continuing to take care of each other and continue planning for the changes that will make Folsom the greatest place to live for the next 75 years.” (Source: Gold Country Media, Feb. 4, 2021)
