A Message from Our Chair Happy New Year! I hope that you were able to find some joy and time to rest during this holiday season. We have had a little time now to reflect on the election and contemplate what to do next. Overall, the election results were disappointing for Democrats but still very mixed. Republicans did not win in a landslide nationally, and there were plenty of Democratic victories throughout the country. Nationally and here in Placer County, there is a need to get back to basics and our roots. If we are going to reverse our fortunes in 2026, 2025 will need to be all about how Democrats make greater inroads with communities and focus on policies that address people’s needs and quality of life. social media accounts. events and activities. local candidates in 2026. the residents of Placer County. fairs and other public events in Placer County. ADEM DISTRICT ELECTION: Time is running out to run to become a candidate for Assembly District Delegate to attend the next California Democratic Party Convention at the end of May.

Democratic Club of Lincoln
The Lincoln Democratic December Holiday dinner had a record crowd of nearly 140 guests. As the new Lincoln Club President, Ruth Cox gave her inaugural speech expressing appreciation for the work done by all volunteers in 2024 and acknowledging her predecessors in leadership at the Lincoln Democratic Club. She introduced the new Democratic leadership and Club committee members who will be seeking input from members interested in providing such. In two famous person words, Ms. Cox quoted Jon Stewart pretending to be a Republican said, "Ask not what you can do for your country, ask what you can prevent your country from doing." She further quoted Jamelle Bouie, opinion columnist for the New York Times, "NOW IS NOT THE TIME TO SURRENDER." Ms. Cox continued, "We must learn to be the loyal opposition. We must do it with focus and consistency. And, we must do it in a way that engages and benefits our local community."
Jack Ohman also spoke at the Lincoln Democratic Club. Over the years, Mr. Ohman worked as a political cartoonist for several reputable national newspapers. At this evening affair, he delighted the crowd with his tales and comments, offering serious and humorous insights on a few historical politicians and political events. After over 40 years as a political cartoonist, he has established his work on social media.

CONG. KEVIN KILEY CLUB ZERO (CKKCn) My Message, as your loyal Trumpeteer from CD3 Political Ideology of Smaller Government as an Anti-Federalist (AF)
As a Yale Law Graduate, I want to accomplish great things by taking America back to the 18th Century Founding Days
Check out my "nifty" staffer-generated graphic below, which shows all the great work in government services that I intend to destroy. Don't forget to read my caveats to my great feats below the graphic labels. |

TOTAL VALUE OF ALL FEDERAL GRANTS RECEIVED IN DISTRICT: In true political methodology of Kiley hypocrisy, most voters don't understand that I voted against all this federal funding legislation that I now claim a valid full accomplishment credit, especially the Biden Infrastructure Bill that provided tons of millions of dollars. Also, some of that money is standard appropriation done in a way that does not need my thoughtful vote, so I absent myself from any simple or tricky votes. TOTAL MILES TRAVELED IN THE DISTRICT BY REP KILEY AND DISTRICT STAFF: I don't recall if I told my Administrative Assistant to include my travel from DC to Sacramento to DC. It matters not. Most of my constituents are unfamiliar with the distance for my entire district: FYI, 450 miles from north to south, east to west total. It doesn't take long for these miles to reach 39k. Of course, we fly high for many of those. DOLLARS RECOVERED FOR CONSTITUENTS: Oh, heck, they were already owed that money. My republican constituents just forgot to tell the government they moved. Especially the IRS tax filers, who may or not have been trying to hide from the government. CONSTITUENTS: |
