❝ Rusty’s experience as a classroom educator, union leader, military veteran, and grassroots organizer shows that he brings people together to get things done – and that’s what we need during these turbulent times. I’m proud to endorse Rusty Hicks, and urge you to join me, along with the California Professional Firefighters, nurses, and working people across the North Coast in supporting him. ❞
