Frazier is not representing the people, he is representing himself in anyway he can to advance his own personal self worth. He sucks at representing us the people and this is just another example. Frazier claims to be an environmentalist supporter yet a republican from San Ramon scored higher than him.

Would someone legit please run against him during the next election.
