Roger Dickinson was elected in November 2010 and represents the 9th Assembly District which includes the city of Sacramento.
Roger served on the Sacramento County Board of Supervisors beginning in a special election in January 1994, and was subsequently re-elected to four, four-year terms, serving through 2010.
As a member of the Sacramento County Board of Supervisors, Dickinson played key roles on issues such as health care, welfare reform, economic development, clean air, improved transportation, and smart growth. He was instrumental in the building of Raley Field, home of the Sacramento River Cats; the transition of McClellan Air Force Base into a thriving economic center; the construction of a new primary health care center for Sacramento County; the conversion of the county vehicle fleet to clean fuels; the creation of Birth and Beyond, a home visitation program for at-risk families; the creation of the Dry Creek Parkway; and the turnaround of the Grant Joint Union School District; among other things.
Roger lives with his wife, Marj, in the Woodlake neighborhood where they have owned a home for more than 30 years.
Prior to his election to the Board of Supervisors, Dickinson participated in numerous community organizations. He spent twenty years as a member of the Regional Transit Board of Directors and was chairman of the board four times. He also served on the Sacramento Housing and Redevelopment Commission, the Sacramento County Air Pollution Control Advisory Board, and the North Sacramento Community Plan Citizens Advisory Committee. In addition, Dickinson served on the board and as President of the American Lung Association of Sacramento, and chaired the Sacramento Transportation Coalition. He is the former President of the Friends of Light Rail and board member of the Sacramento Tree Foundation.
Assemblymember Dickinson received his undergraduate degree from the University of California at Berkeley where he lettered in varsity basketball and afterward earned a law degree at UCLA in 1976. He spent seven and a half years with the California Department of Consumer Affairs where he oversaw a statewide project to improve small claims court. In private practice, he helped to form the firm of Kemnitzer, Dickinson, Anderson & Barron emphasizing automobile warranty law and sales misrepresentation cases. He has litigated cases up to the California Supreme Court.
"I will continue my work to invest in our youth, giving them the opportunity to succeed in the 21st century world."
Education is the foundation for success and California once had the finest education system in America. I will work with teachers, students, and parents to make us proud again.
As the former Chair of First 5 Sacramento, I've led the effort to make sure our children are safe, healthy and ready for school. As the founder fo Yes to Youth, I've fought for after-school programs and to keep our kids in school.
"My success with job creation is why President Obama's Administration asked me to put job-creating stimulus money to work in Sacramento."
We can rebuild our local economy by bringing in new high-tech, green and clean industries. Jobs from renewable energies and clean technologies are long term jobs that cannot be outsourced cheaply overseas.
I will protect our families from unfair foreclosures and keep them in their homes, preserving our neighborhoods and ensuring a strong economy.
I will continue to battle for access to high-quality, affordable health care for all. Now more than ever, it is important to preserve Meals on Wheels and in-home care for our seniors in need.
"It's more important than ever that we fight to protect our environment. I will continue to be a champion for clean air, clean water, and a safe environment for generations to come."
I helped lead the fight to bring light rail to Sacramento and I continue to work for its expansion. My dedication to creating sustainable communities with clean air and water, fueled with renewable energies, has earned me the "Clean Air Champion" Award three times and the "Environmentalist of the Year" Award.
For some, protecting the environment can be merely a fad or hip marketing idea. But now is the time that we can bring the casual supporter to understand the full potential and lifelong benefits that a green economy can provide.
