Assemblyman Tim Grayson Announces Run for State Senate

Assemblyman Tim Grayson

Assemblymember Tim Grayson officially announced he was running for the California State Senate on Friday.

According to the video released, Grayson says he will focus on solving problems – creating more middle class jobs, building more working and middle class housing, and supporting our clean energy economy.

“I am Tim Grayson, and I know that to build strong communities, it takes people from all backgrounds working together. Growing up in a big family, we didn’t always agree, but we worked together to get by. Today, too often, the people in power focus on what divides us instead of what brings us together. As a small business owner, I worked with local communities to create good paying jobs. As Mayor of Concord, I worked with anyone I could to create safe and healthy neighborhoods. Then in the State Assembly, I did the same to help get us through the pandemic. Now, I am working to rebuild California. At the problem solvers caucus, we are focused on creating more middle class jobs, investing in manufacturing, building more middle and working class housing, expanding our clean energy economy and expanding our infrastructure to improve transportation. There is more work to do to keep our neighborhoods thriving. Lets keep building a better East Bay together.”

In his latest Podcast, Senator Steve Glazer (D-Orinda) shared he will not be seeking re-election for the State Senate in an effort not to be a test case for term limits.

Glazer said although he will not be in the Senate, he is looking to stay engaged and will look at other offices while stating that if Assemblyman Tim Grayson (D-Concord) decided to run for the Senate seat that he would be “an outstanding candidate”.

The stage is now set for musical chairs as Grayson now has a Senate run, his Assembly seat is now open which Antioch City Councilwoman Monica Wilson and former Contra Costa County Board of Supervisor Karen Mitchoff both announced they are running for the Assembly seat.

2017

  • AB 358– This bill creates regional economic development areas around military bases that have been transferred to a local government agency, and allows those areas to be prioritized for regional, state and federal grants. This bill would facilitate the development of high-potential zones into vibrant commercial and residential areas.
  • AB 399– This bill allows the GoMentum driverless autonomous vehicle testing project to continue for up to one year after the Department of Motor Vehicles promulgates its deployment rules for autonomous vehicles.
  • AB 492– This bill protects consumers and homeowners by preventing solicitors from misleadingly charging exorbitant fees for public records that they can obtain more easily and cheaply from county or state offices.
  • AB 704– This bill allows multidisciplinary teams to share confidential information with each other that would allow law enforcement to more effectively prevent, identify, and respond to human trafficking and domestic violence crimes.
  • AB 852– This bill promotes transparency by requiring cities and counties to include additional information regarding housing development applications in their annual reports to the Legislature.
  • AB 879– This bill improves current Planning and Zoning Law by requiring cities and counties to consider additional relevant factors in the development of housing, including long and short term economic trends, when adopting a general plan for land use.
  • AB 998– This bill increases transparency in the waitlist process for admission to a Veterans’ home by requiring information to be made available online in a clear format. Currently, a veteran can wait for a long time for a spot in one of the homes, with no online-accessible way to find out his/her current spot. This bill would reduce that uncertainty.
  • AB 1116– This bill establishes the Critical Incident Stress Management Services Act to provide first responders exposed to traumatic events with timely and confidential support services by trained professionals.

  • AB 1536– This bill creates a fund to support the creation of a streamlined credentialing process for STEM professionals and provide grants to said professionals who want to obtain a teaching credential through this streamlined process.
  • AB 1655– This bill increases accountability and transparency in University of California cost reporting by requiring that the reported total cost of education be based on publicly available financial information, and differentiated by academic level and discipline. This bill would ensure the Legislature can more accurately determine levels of financial support to UC, and would provide a way to hold UC accountable whenever tuition is increased or decreased.
  • AB 1674– This bill increases fair access to the University of California for resident undergraduate students by ensuring that qualified California students are not denied admission in favor of less qualified out-of-state and international students.

Why would we promote this corrupt, lying, party switching for political gain, preacher to the California State Senate? While serving on the Concord City Council he met with Willie Brown and accepted illegal campaign donations from Willie Brown’s network of friends and business associates that were connected to Lennar during the Master Developer selection process for development of the former Concord Naval Weapons Station. The only good news is that he can only serve one 4-year term in the Senate, but he’s already made it clear that he wants to replace Representative Mark DeSaulnier in the US Congress, where he wouldn’t be subjected to term limits. Let’s get rid of Assemblyman Tim Grayson before we’re stuck with him for decades to come.

Monica doesn’t seem to have her own mind. Votes according to her allegiance to other council members, not the citizens she’s supposed to represent. I wouldn’t vote for her even if she was the only candidate on the ballot.

ANYONE EXCEPT MONICA,
.
I agree with you!!! Antioch Councilwoman Monica Wilson has already announced her candidacy for the State Assembly seat being vacated by Assemblyman Tim Grayson. The other bad news is that retired Contra Costa County Supervisor Karen Mitchoff, a.k.a. “Monster Mitchoff,” has also announced her intention to run for this same seat. We are doomed if these two remain our only choices for Assembly District 15 and if Assemblyman Tim Grayson remains the favorite to win the Senate District 9 seat.
