Residents and local governments face issues involving housing, homelessness, public safety, transportation, education, economic development, and the responsible use of public resources. Citizen journalists serve an important civic role by attending public meetings, reviewing public records, asking questions, verifying information, and providing residents with accurate and balanced reporting. Congressman Kevin Mullin represents California’s 15th Congressional District on the San Francisco Peninsula, where communities face issues involving housing, transportation, economic opportunity, environmental concerns, and the needs of families and businesses.)

Give them wisdom to distinguish reliable information from rumor, courage to ask appropriate questions, and humility to correct errors. Bless Congressman Kevin Mullin with wisdom and discernment as he represents the people of California’s 15th Congressional District. Help him listen carefully to constituents, understand the needs of the communities he serves, and approach his responsibilities with integrity.

The Department of the Interior carries responsibilities involving federal public lands, natural resources, wildlife, energy development, and relationships with tribal nations. California Attorney General Rob Bonta serves as the state’s chief law enforcement officer and leads the California Department of Justice. His responsibilities include enforcing state laws, representing California in legal matters, and overseeing statewide law-enforcement and public-safety functions.)
