Ted Gaines
Occupation
Taxpayer Advocate, Small Business Owner, Member, Board of Equalization
Education & Qualifications
El Dorado County and our rural lifestyle are the envy of our neighbors and I’ve protected our values my entire career as your representative. Now I’m stepping up to be your next Supervisor.
I’ll protect District 4’s country feel and keep big-city problems far away, saying no to urban development and the traffic congestion and increased crime that comes with it.
As a taxpayer advocate, budget watchdog, and business owner, I’ll demand accountability and eliminate wasteful spending. I am a strong defender of Prop. 13 and lower taxes to help businesses and families keep what they earn. I’ve earned the endorsement of the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association Political Committee.
El Dorado County will remain the safest county in the state, a place you can leave your doors unlocked and your kids can go to school without a worry.
I back the blue 100% and I have earned the endorsements of Sheriff Jeff Leikauf, former Sheriffs John D’Agostini and Hal Barker, and District Attorney Vern Pierson.
I am a lifetime member of the NRA and strong supporter of the 2nd Amendment.
My great-great grandfather ran supplies into Placerville during the Gold Rush. I have deep roots here, love this county, and will defend what makes it special.
