next door, and frequent visits from his older half-sister. Today, he's been married for 10 years, has 2 kids, and a dog (Luna!). As an engineer, Michael has dedicated his life to solving problems. Rather than only addressing a problem’s symptoms, he tries to understand the cause in order to fix it. He will bring an engineering mentality to Congress - one that is not afraid to tackle the hard and politically uncomfortable problems. He will start addressing the big problems like reducing the threat of wildfires, increasing access to affordable healthcare, investing in education for kids and young adults that prepares them for meaningful careers, and ensuring everyone has an opportunity to find a job that pays a living wage. Michael’s values are rooted in Amador County and the relationships he’s made over the years. He believes in the value of human life and all of the differences that it takes on. Growing up in small town Amador County, he learned the importance of serving your community and looking out for your neighbors. He grew up clearing fallen trees and burning brush every summer; digging trenches and hauling firewood; volunteering to serve at the church’s annual crab feed fundraiser; and walking around Sutter Creek with his friends after school. His parents instilled in him the importance of hard work and dedication throughout his youth, lessons that he carries forward to this day. Brittany has taught him the strength that comes with empathy, understanding, and humility. His kids have taught him the importance of patience under stress. Finally, his time in Washington, DC has given him a greater appreciation for the diversity that this country has to offer, and the realization that we have more in common than we might think.
