Gary Kephart for California’s 71st Assembly District
A Bold Vision for Progress, Standing Against
Extremism and Corporate Interests
Riverside, CA – The Riverside County Democratic Party is proud to endorse Gary Kephart for the 71st Assembly District. With a deep commitment to public service and sustainable progress, Kephart is focused on the issues that matter most to our community—affordable housing, healthcare, and climate action.
Gary Kephart advocates for solutions to the problems facing everyday Californians, such as expanding access to affordable housing, addressing the climate crisis, and delivering better healthcare access for all. Kephart is a longtime supporter of workers’ rights and environmental protections.
In contrast, incumbent Kate Sanchez has consistently prioritized her conservative ideology over the needs of the district. While claiming to support families, Sanchez has taken a dangerous approach to public safety and education. She aligns herself with anti-LGBTQ+ legislation, votes against raising the minimum wage, and is vocally opposed to state-mandated equity in education and environmental standards. Sanchez’s stance on cutting critical public programs is inconsistent with the values of the district. Sanchez repeatedly votes against crucial climate protection initiatives, siding with corporate interests over the health and safety of our communities.
Gary Kephart is the leader our district needs. He is committed to environmental sustainability, protecting healthcare access, and standing up for working families. The Riverside County Democratic Party is proud to endorse Gary Kephart for the 71st District.
