Candidate Forum with Robb Tucker

Nevada County Supervisor Robb Tucker is running for Congress in District 3 against Rep. Ami Bera. This District includes portions of Sacramento, Placer, and El Dorado counties, as well as all of Nevada County.

As a Supervisor, Robb has stood up for meaningful solutions to protect public safety, support small businesses and create jobs, and protect our quality of life through a responsible balance of growth, development, and agriculture. Now, he’s running for Congress to take that solutions-oriented leadership to Washington, D.C.

Robb Tucker’s approach to federal policy comes straight out of his years on the Nevada County Board of Supervisors. County government is where you see, up close, whether a federal program actually works or just adds another layer of red tape. Robb has had to stitch together mismatched state and federal funding streams just to keep a shelter open or fund basic mental health care, and he’s watched permitting delays and excessive fees stall housing and forest health projects for years, leaving county officials to explain to neighbors why nothing is getting built.

That experience shapes a simple governing philosophy: keep decisions close to the people whenever possible, and hold Washington strictly accountable for the things only the federal government can do: securing the border, managing public forest lands, enforcing interstate commerce law, protecting taxpayers. He knows that Washington should stop burying rural counties in unfunded mandates that drain local budgets and choke off regional economies.
