CONTRA COSTA, CA – The DeSaulnier for Congress Campaign announces the launch of Congressman DeSaulnier’s re-election campaign for California’s 10th Congressional district, as approved by the California Citizens’ Redistricting Commission (CCRC) tonight. Congressman DeSaulnier has represented Concord and Contra Costa County in Congress since 2015 and vows to continue to work hard for his constituents, fighting for working families.
“Throughout my time in Congress, my guiding principle has always been this: I work for you,” said Congressman Mark DeSaulnier. “It’s been my honor to represent this area for nearly three decades, on the Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors, in the California State Legislature, and for the past six years as a Member of Congress. My priority has always been serving the people of Contra Costa and making our voices heard during the tough fights, when it matters most.”
Congressman DeSaulnier lives in Concord where he raised his two sons, Tristan and Tucker, and opened and operated a small business, TR’s restaurant.
He’s also spent three decades as a public servant: representing his community on the Concord City Council, as Mayor of Concord, as a three-term Contra Costa County Supervisor, in the California State Legislature, and currently as a Member of Congress.
As Supervisor, he served on the California Air Resources Board, the Association of Bay Area Governments, the Bay Area Air Quality Management District, and the Metropolitan Transportation Commission. He was elected to the State Assembly in 2006 where he served one term and received the distinction of being the first freshman in history to chair the Assembly Transportation Committee. DeSaulnier was elected to two terms in the California State Senate in 2008 and 2012 where he served as Chair of the California State Senate Transportation and Housing Committee. During his time in Congress, DeSaulnier has been honored to represent California’s 11th Congressional District including Richmond, El Cerrito, Kensington, and Pittsburg and looks forward to continuing to serve them in 2022.
Congressman DeSaulnier is running for re-election to fight against the reckless Republican agenda and move our nation forward by:
- Ensuring every American has access to quality, affordable health insurance and care;
- Confronting racial injustice;
- Creating national common sense gun violence reforms;
- Helping America’s students receive a quality education without being shackled by debt;
- Protecting Medicare and Social Security;
- Safeguarding the environment;
- Overseeing the largest investment in our nation’s infrastructure in modern history, and
- Ensuring government is accountable to the public.
