Rick Bosetti was a 2012 Republican candidate for District 1 of the California State Assembly.

In 2006, Bosetti was elected to the Redding City Council, and he also held a position on the Redding planning commission. In 2009, he served as mayor of the city. Before entering public life, Bosetti worked in the technology industry and played major league baseball for the Philadelphia Phillies, the St. Louis Cardinals, the Toronto Blue Jays, and the Oakland As.[1]

Campaign themes

2012

Bosetti's campaign website listed the following issues:[2]

  • Local Rights
Excerpt: "For too long now, the legislature in Sacramento has tried to solve its problems on the backs of local jurisdictions. There has been a blatant disregard for the rights of those in Northern California. Water and property rights have been under assault from state and federal agencies."
  • Job Creation
Excerpt: "My top priority as your new Assemblyman is job creation in our district. It is absolutely vital that we change the job climate in the State of California. I will propose an economic plan aimed at getting our citizens back to work and retaining the jobs we have now."
  • Balanced Budget
Excerpt: "The California Budget is in disarray. Our annual deficits are horrendous and at unmanageable levels. We must balance our budget now! As a member of the Redding City Council, I have been a leader in cutting costs without raising taxes to maintain a balanced budget and a healthy reserve."
