Assemblymember Bill Dodd was elected in November 2014 to represent the 4th Assembly District, which includes all or portions of Lake, Yolo, Napa, Sonoma, Solano, and Colusa Counties. Bill was a successful business owner for nearly 25 year, building and managing one of the largest full-service Culligan Water operations in California. Hearing the call to public service he ran for the Napa County Board of Supervisors in 2000 and served 14 years. Bill maintained an active role on numerous boards and commissions over that time, and helped pave the way for the successful completion of Napa’s flood control project. This helped protect thousands of properties from flooding, restored 900 acres of environmental wetlands, and spurred $1 billion of investment in local businesses. Committed to giving back and building a better future for California, Bill is also heavily involved in local charities and was honored in 2014 by the Napa Chamber of Commerce as its “Citizen of the Year” for raising over $3 million for local charities. Assemblymember Dodd lives in Napa with his wife Mary and they have five grown children and four grandchildren.

He will discuss his thoughts on infrastructure funding for our state as well as his upcoming senate run.
