** Building A Sustainable Future
------------------------------------------------------------

Friends -

Our new State Senate District is as diverse and vibrant as it is large. From wine country, to rural agricultural and Delta communities, and urban centers with families spanning the socioeconomic spectrum. Each community brings its unique strengths and challenges, and I am committed to representing all of them in the State Senate.

What unites us all is the shared dream of building prosperous futures for our families, where our children can return to, and where we create opportunity while preserving the essence of what makes our communities so great.

As someone who has lived and worked here for over 30 years, I understand what it takes to build thriving, inclusive and sustainable communities. I'm running for the California State Senate to bring that same commitment and vision to the entire district. Together, we can build sustainable communities that protect our environment, promote economic growth, and improve the quality of life for all residents.

In Partnership,

Christopher Cabaldon

Candidate for State Senate District 3

** A Lifelong Champion for Smart Growth
------------------------------------------------------------

Over the course of my public service, I sought to be strategic about growing in a way that created opportunity for all while protecting the character of our region. I achieved this by promoting smart, sustainable community development. This commitment is a key component of our campaign.

When I served as chair of the Sacramento Area Council of Governments, I had the privilege of leading a ground-breaking “Blueprint” which sought to address climate change by promoting the development of sustainable communities. This means prioritizing transit-oriented development and creating environments where people can live, work and play. This was the first major policy built on the idea that we can - and must - build much more housing and simultaneously protect our natural legacy, working landscapes, and habitats.

This blueprint ultimately served as the underlying principles in California’s landmark legislation, “The Sustainable Communities and ClimateProtection Act,” which is now a core component of California’s strategy to combat climate change. I am also honored to be supported by the author of that legislation, former President Pro Tem of the State Senate and current Sacramento Mayor Darrell Steinberg.

The Blueprint became and remains a nationally recognized model for addressing climate change. In fact, I had the privilege of testifying before the United States Senate ([link removed]) highlighting our successes.

Now, the planning paradigm has been changed, with metropolitan regions integrating transportation, housing, and land-use plans that reduce greenhouse gas emissions. It's a testament to what we can achieve when we prioritize sustainability and work together towards a common goal. These are exactly the types of policies I will continue to champion as your State Senator.

** Bringing People Together to Make Change
------------------------------------------------------------

Building sustainable communities requires vision, drive, and, perhaps most importantly, collaboration. There is an old proverb that says “If you want to go fast, go alone, if you want to go far, go together.” That sentiment perfectly captures my work on the blueprint as well as my approach to leadership and public service.

When I was leading the charge to create the blueprint, I brought together an incredibly diverse coalition of individuals and organizations. We assembled a roundtable with 50 citizens from every walk of life. Business, disability advocates, ethnic chambers, pedestrian advocates, environmental justice leaders, clean air advocates, housing builders, neighborhood associations and more.

Together, we held 37 workshops in every part of our region. These workshops were not a box-checking exercise, they were opportunities for real collaboration and discussion. We used advanced computer modeling to simulate the impacts of choices that needed to be made. We also used pictures, polling, and specifically tailored focus groups to make collaborative decisions that reflected the feedback of our community .

The blueprint is proof that a small dedicated group of people can make a difference. It’s proof that addressing climate change, building the housing our state desperately needs, and protecting the character of our region can be done simultaneously. And it’s proof that as your State Senator, I will listen to you to make demonstrable progress on the issues that matter most in our communities.
