🌲 Mendocino County
~91,000 peopleMendocino County has it all—rugged coastline, towering redwoods, world-class wine, and thriving agriculture. But the timber industry that once sustained inland communities has collapsed. Fort Bragg, Ukiah, and Willits need good jobs. Fishing families in coastal villages struggle as salmon runs decline. Working families need affordable housing and childcare.
These bills bring back forestry jobs, protect fisheries, and invest in rural communities.
