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.

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."
