In this episode of the City Builders Podcast, host Todd Jones sits down with Assembly Member Heather Hadwick to talk about what it’s really like representing a large rural district in the California State Assembly and advocating for North State communities in Sacramento.
Heather shares her path from teacher and emergency manager to state assembly member, and discusses the realities of bridging the urban and rural divide in California policymaking. The conversation covers housing affordability, workforce development, forestry, wildfire recovery, rural infrastructure, and economic opportunities for Northern California communities.
They also discuss how policy decisions made in Sacramento directly impact rural counties, why housing costs continue to rise, and what opportunities exist for job growth, construction, and industry in the North State. This episode is a thoughtful look at leadership, representation, and the future of rural communities in California.
If you care about the future of the North State, housing, jobs, infrastructure, and how decisions in Sacramento affect our region, this is an episode you will not want to miss.
