Concerned Our community is at a crossroads in time. We are facing serious challenges to our quality of life. Growing traffic congestion, dwindling water supplies, lack of parks and athletic fields top the list of problems we face. In addition, big city Developers dream of turning our County into a monstrous housing tract, while radical Environmental Organizations scheme to shut down our local economy. So far, only Brad Bleier, a former Navy JAG officer and high-tech entrepreneur, has shown the courage to defy the powerful Developers, radical Environmentalists and establishment Politicians by calling for tough, but common sense solutions to our politically charged problems. Sensible solutions like:
1. Protect 1998's Measure Y by fixing the fine print loopholes so we can use every available funding source, including State and Federal money, to improve Highway 50 and still make Developers pay their fair share.
2. Improve the delivery of police, fire, paramedic and other essential services to El Dorado Hills by allowing that historically under-served community to incorporate into an independent city with a sustainable tax base, without raising taxes.
3. Develop additional water supplies to stop the outrageous rate hikes and permit Bass Lake residents to finally obtain EID service.

Compassionate Brad Bleier is a neighbor who cares. His goal is to make our community a better place to live, work and raise a family. That's why he helped create El DoradoHills Community Vision, a broad based, non-profit organization that aims to improve the quality of life in our community. Brad is currently serving as this local charity's president.

Conservative Like most of us, Brad Bleier is fed-up with the arrogance of big government bureaucracies and their growing intrusion into our daily lives. He believes that our Government should only exist to serve us, not the other way around! Brad agrees that we already pay too much in taxes. To prove it, he has taken a pledge not to raise our taxes if we elect him to represent us. Brad is an outspoken fiscal conservative. He feels that our hard-earned tax money should only be spent on providing us with essential services like roads, schools, police, and fire protection, not bloated bureaucracies and failed `60's social experiments!
