Chris Rogers represents exactly the kind of bold, community-rooted leadership that Sonoma County Conservation Action is proud to endorse. Born and raised on the North Coast, Rogers has dedicated his life to advancing policies that make our region more resilient, equitable, and sustainable. From his early work as a legislative aide to his leadership on the Santa Rosa City Council during some of the most challenging moments in recent history, wildfires, drought, and a global pandemic, Rogers has consistently stepped up to deliver real results when it matters most.
Now serving in the State Assembly, Rogers continues to champion the values that define the North Coast: environmental stewardship, economic fairness, and a deep commitment to working families. His legislative record already reflects a willingness to take on complex and consequential issues. With AB 1984, Rogers is tackling corporate accountability head-on, redefining and clarifying the powers of corporations operating in California. By ensuring corporations operate strictly within the bounds of explicitly granted authority, and prohibiting their involvement in ballot and election activity, this bill represents a major step toward protecting our democracy from undue corporate influence.
Equally impactful is AB 1790, which addresses long-standing inequities in corporate taxation. By reforming the water’s-edge election system and requiring multinational corporations to more accurately account for their income, Rogers is working to close loopholes that have allowed large corporations to avoid paying their fair share. This is about fairness, transparency, and ensuring that California has the resources it needs to invest in communities, infrastructure, and climate resilience.
Beyond these landmark bills, Rogers has been a tireless advocate for the issues that matter most locally: expanding access to rural healthcare, protecting endangered salmon and natural ecosystems, investing in affordable housing, and supporting working families struggling with the rising cost of living. His leadership reflects a clear understanding that rural and coastal communities must not be left behind.
SCCA’s endorsement of Chris Rogers is a recognition of both his proven track record and his forward-looking vision. He understands that protecting our environment and strengthening our communities go hand in hand. With his experience, integrity, and commitment to the North Coast, Chris Rogers is not just a strong representative, he is exactly the kind of leader we need to meet this moment.
