Candidate	Party	Votes
Kevin Kiley *	Rep.	69,067
Jessica Morse	Dem.	53,842

Remember that Kevin Kiley was part of the Idiotic GOP Failure to Recall Governor Gavin Newsom...

https://www.politico.com/news/2021/09/15/how-gavin-newsom-beat-the-recall-511783

The turning point for the campaign, according to Newsom’s strategists, came in the governor’s adoption of aggressive mask and vaccine mandates — both widely popular in California — and in Newsom’s avalanche of spending depicting his top Republican opponent, Larry Elder, as an anti-science clone of former President Donald Trump.

I applaud the House of Representatives for passing these critical aid packages. We cannot allow Russia’s authoritarian aggression to go unchecked. For months, MAGA extremists have played politics with funding for Ukraine, and today, they failed. The consequences of Ukraine losing are too high. If Russia advances further, a NATO ally could be next — drawing in not just our dollars, but our troops. As your next Congresswoman, I look forward to continuing the fight to protect democracy at home and abroad.

Headline: Who is Kevin Kiley and what would he do as governor? He's an Anti-Vax Freak!

Congressman Pete McCloskey established Earth Day more than 50 years ago. His work to protect our environment laid the foundation for the progress we continue to make here in California.
I was grateful for the opportunity to visit with Pete today to thank him for his support and advice over the years. Please join me in sending love to him and his wife, Helen.

#CA03 is not only home to the most beautiful mountains of California, it’s also the headwaters for 60 percent of California’s water supply.
This Earth Day, help me ensure we flip the seat and get an advocate who will protect this vital ecology while fighting the climate crisis that threatens our homes and future.

Did you know that I'm the only woman challenger in California to move forward after our March 5th primary?

In a year where reproductive freedom is unquestionably on the ballot, the fact that I’m the only woman left to draw the contrast is both sobering and cements my commitment to ensuring that we have a voice in Congress.

I have a big fundraising deadline for the end of the first quarter of 2024 this Sunday, and if I’m going to be the last woman standing in California after polls close on November 5, I need your help to reach our next major benchmark. Chip in before Sunday to send me to Congress this November so we can get to work!

Let’s do this for your daughters and granddaughters.

Jessica Morse announced on Tuesday that she’ll run in Eastern California — in an attempt to unseat Republican Congressman Kevin Kiley in District 3.

Mourning the passing of former State Superintendent of Public Instruction, Delaine Eastin. I had the privilege of running alongside Delaine on the campaign trail in 2018 when she was running for governor. She embraced my campaign and supported it with great enthusiasm. I will forever be grateful for her advice and friendship.

Delaine was a model for how to lead as a public servant. She paved the way for more women to run for office and serve in leadership roles, and she was incredibly generous with her time and energy — uplifting me and others even during her own campaigns.

I loved watching Delaine deliver passionate speeches about her efforts to ensure our education system provided students with the necessary support and tools for success in the classroom. She was a fierce advocate for school food programs, ensuring our kids had the nutrition they needed. Delaine also fought for smaller class sizes and advocated for inclusive policies, pushing for our schools to provide essential resources to students with disabilities. Her work directly improved the educational experiences of countless students in California, and will reverberate for generations to come.

I’m sending love and support to Delaine’s family and friends. Let us honor her legacy by continuing to advocate for the causes she cared about so deeply. Rest in power, Delaine.

Remember: Kevin wasted the Taxpayer's Dollars with a Failed Recall Election against Governor Newsom. Obviously, He Thinks He's Amazing!

Five years ago, shortly after the #CampFire decimated the town of Paradise, I went up to help. I filmed this video thinking I was going to help for a few days but ended up on the ground through the next month working side-by-side with local heroes who, with resilience, strength, and courage rebuilt their community. https://www.facebook.com/jessica.morse.336/videos/10215833174875001

I met a paradise school board member who had lost her home in the fire, but was going shelter by shelter to track down each of her students to ensure they were safe.

Emulating their resolve, I spent the next four years working every day to prevent wildfires like the Camp Fire. I didn't relent until we had a state-wide strategy and resources to actively mitigate these fires. We now have tools and resources to meet the fire crisis head on so other communities don't need to test their courage and grit like the people of Paradise. #ParadiseStrong #CAWildfire

When Jessica Morse sees a problem, she runs toward it and wants to help solve it. In Congress, she will do what she always does when facing a problem: listen and learn, find common ground to build a coalition of support, and put forth the best ideas to solve it. Jessica needs your support to protect what’s important – our homes from wildfire, our paychecks, our healthcare, and abortion rights.

Clearcut Nation - the Movie

'Clearcut Nation' illuminates the decades of destructive logging practices which have been approved in the watersheds and forests of California--the watersheds that support all of the life in the state. It focuses on the Battle Creek watershed in Shasta and Tehama counties as an example, but overall is about how we treat, and relate to, the natural world. It includes interviews with author Derrick Jensen, botanist Julie Kierstead Nelson, PhD fire and vegetation ecologist Dennis Odion, PhD hydrologist Tom Myers, wildlife biologist Monica Bond, and rural residents who have experienced the vast changes to the land. This film is based on 8 years of research and field work, as well as decades of life experience in the wild lands of California.

SE Said:

My dad told me the most interesting story, and I thought I'd share.

There used to be a world famous violinist named Yehudi Menuhin, and at one point in time, he lived in Los Gatos. He spent a lot of time on tour, and he would ship his own personal Steinway piano all over the world to be played by his accompanist in his concerts. After the tour, the piano would be shipped back to Los Gatos. He had the phone number which was later acquired by my family in the 1960's, before my time. My dad said that every once in a while, someone would call and ask, "Where do you want us to deliver the piano?"

To this day, my parents still have that same phone number.

I Replied:

Many people have their piano shipped from one concert to the next at GREAT EXPENSE - You have to hire a Person to tune it... That's a Full time Job if You're on the road with a Famous Band... All that moving and temperature changes put the instrument out of tune... SO... One Day Stevie Wonder was Talking to Raymond Kurzweil (the man who made a book reader for Blind People) and Stevie Said: Build me a Really Great Portable Electronic Piano... and So... Kurzweil and Moog built one... and TRULY... It's a Fantastic Instrument... and the Piano Tuner Got Laid Off... https://kurzweil.com/

Our visit to Mount Lassen, the Cinder Cone and Bumpass Hell's bubbling mudpots. California Tourist Highlights! --->PLUS<--- Free Coloring Book Art

As a child my family climbed the Cinder Cone. It's a pile of volcanic ash. It was difficult to climb as we slid down while walking up. "Two steps forward one step back." The whole family went. Uncle Marc and Aunt Peg, Cousins Robin and Jill.

Cinder Cone Mount Lassen

We camped at the Lake and went to a campfire talk by Park Rangers. They told the story of the Indians of Lassen and the History of the Volcano exploding. Lava flowed as far away as Chico. The volcano once was a giant mountain in prehistoric times... They showed illustrations of how big it was in comparison to the seemingly tiny mountain that remains...

The highlight of my trip to Lassen was the Bubbling Mudpots of Bumpass Hell. It's a valley of hot springs that is bright orange and yellow. Extremely hot sulfur vents out of the volcano making lakes of hot bubbling mud. It was named for an early explorer, Mr Bumpass, who fell into a mudpot and died from the heat. There are sulfur springs right on the road but the best ones are an easy one mile hike away from the parking lot. The rangers built wooden boardwalks for tourists to go out over the mudpots safely.

Bumpass Hell at Mount Lassen Park

In the 1990s I went to The end of the road at Mount Lassen with some friends from AA. That's where people park when they want to climb the mountain. We walked around and looked at the view but did not climb the mountain. I took out my guitar and sang the song "Truckin'" to the hikers... It's special to sing at High Altitudes.

NEWS: 10/17/2019

Headline: Amid Wave of Pot Farm Robberies, Mattole Valley Residents Take Security into Their Own Hands.

Over the past six weeks or so there’s been a series of late-night cannabis farm robberies in Southern Humboldt’s remote Mattole Valley. Locals say this spate of robberies has been accompanied by some disturbing and suspicious activity.

They’ve seen drones flying low over their properties in the wee hours of the morning and strange vehicles driving aggressively up and down the backroads. One man even reported seeing a group of men in black masks carrying assault rifles.

“It’s plaguing our whole community,” Honeydew resident Sean Stamm told the Outpost in a phone interview this afternoon. The crime spree has reached “borderline epidemic proportions,” he said, with a new robbery or attempted robbery every day or two. “Our community has never seen anything on this level, ever,” Stamm said.
