California State Assemblyman Ken Cooley will be in Citrus Heights this Friday to host a question-and-answer coffee event at Rusch Park.
The assemblyman in an email to constituents announcing the upcoming meeting invited community members to “join me for a cup of coffee” at the Rusch Community Park pavillion on Friday, Aug. 5, from 9-11 a.m. An events posting on Cooley’s website says attendees are invited to bring any questions regarding legislative issues.
Cooley is a Democrat representing the 8th Assembly District in California, which currently covers Citrus Heights and much of eastern Sacramento County, including Carmichael, Rancho Cordova, Rancho Murieta, and rural areas south of Highway 16. Due to district boundary changes made during redistricting, Cooley is now seeking to represent the 7th Assembly District where he will face Republican Josh Hoover this November.
California’s newly drawn 7th district lines include Citrus Heights, Folsom, Orangevale, Fair Oaks, Carmichael, North Highlands and other nearby communities.
