Meet David Hildebrand
David Hildebrand is a dedicated public servant, intent on delivering real results for Senate District 6.
Born in a working-class family, David understands the challenges families face. After graduating from Lodi High School, he worked multiple jobs in construction and retail while attending community college, sometimes clocking 60 hours a week to make ends meet. For many years, he could not afford healthcare coverage, and bore the costs of putting off care he could not afford.
While at Sacramento State, David interned with AFSCME California, standing up for workers and unions. He earned a B.A. in Government from Sacramento State, but graduated during the height of the Great Recession, facing six months of unemployment. He eventually secured a job with the State of California, where he has worked for fifteen years as a Transportation Policy Analyst, focusing on keeping California residents safe on our roads.
Beyond public service, David has been active in his community, volunteering with local groups to increase democracy and the representation of the community. He believes that real progress comes from listening to neighbors and working together to solve problems.
David lives in Roseville with his wife, Michelle, and their son, Quang. He’s running for office to champion affordable housing, expanding healthcare, strong schools, and good-paying jobs, because everyone deserves the opportunity to thrive.
