Chris Rogers – Assembly District 2
IJ Action Recommended
Political Party - Democrat
Ballot Designation
Councilmember / Nonprofit Executive
Law Enforcement Contributions
Background
Rogers is a Santa Rosa City Councilmember, having served in that role for seven years including two terms as Mayor. Prior to elected office, Rogers was a legislative aide in the State Assembly and State Senate, most notably working as campaign manager and senior district representative for Senate Majority Leader Mike McGuire.
Public Safety Platform
Rogers does not have a public safety platform, and has been largely focused on environmental and climate issues while serving on Santa Rosa City Council. However, while on council Rogers supported a program called inRESPONSE, which diverts some 911 calls away from police and towards mental health professionals, social workers, and homeless service providers.
In separate interviews on criminal justice issues, Rogers outlined support for repealing the Three Strikes Law or limiting its application to only the most violent crimes, and also eliminating ineffective sentence enhancements that lead to life in prison, including gun-related enhancements.
IJ Action recommends AD 2 voters support Chris Rogers because his opponent strongly supports expanding police and prison authorities.
