Heidi Hall, Candidate for Congressional District 3
Heidi Hall has spent her three-decade public service career working with others to solve problems, protect our land and water, improve health, and build opportunities for others, all while raising two boys primarily as a single mom.
Shaped by the civil rights and social justice movements she grew up around, Heidi developed an interest in public service and environmental advocacy. She worked her way through college and earned two graduate degrees before working for the Environmental Protection Agency, implementing solutions to stop toxic waste dumping and protect our water and public health. Heidi then worked for the California Department of Water Resources to protect our rivers and lakes and refurbish our groundwater supply.
Frustrated with the lack of support for workers and small businesses in Grass Valley and beyond and a refusal of her county supervisor to tackle homelessness, Heidi flipped her seat from red to blue, defeating a conservative opponent by over 10 points. She is now the Chair of the Nevada County Board of Supervisors and has worked with members of both parties to solve problems on homelessness and housing, expand broadband access, reduce crime and rogue cannabis growers, and strengthen fire protection.
