Member of the State Assembly, 7th District
Assemblymember Hoover was elected to the Assembly in 2022. Prior to that, he was a Legislative Aide for eleven years, and served as Chief of Staff for former Assemblymember Kevin Kiley. Hoover also briefly served on the Folsom Cordova Unified School Board.
This session, Assemblymember Hoover introduced AB 1746, which would have prevented people convicted of great bodily injury against a child from a fire camp from earning the same credits as other incarcerated firefighters. This bill was opposed by IJ Action and many other justice reform organizations because it was a step backward and rolled back progress made with Prop 57 without addressing the root causes of violence against children.
He also earned an “F” in the IJ Action Legislative Scorecard both in 2023 and 2024.
Hoover has endorsed Proposition 36, a measure that will appear on the November 2024 General Election ballot that would bring back felony charges for drug possession, create new enhancements for retail theft, and gut major components of Proposition 47. It is being led by district attorneys, police and prison associations, and big corporations like Walmart and Home Depot.
