Spearheading Local Control Coalition, Dahle & Gallagher urge area leaders to join
SACRAMENTO, Calif. — California assembly-members Megan Dahle (R-Bieber) and James Gallagher (R-Yuba City) recently announced they are working together to spearhead a new effort to reinstate local control over COVID-19 closures and prevention measures.
Saying, “We are all in this together,” Dahle and Gallagher are working toward creating a unified voice of North State elected officials via a letter currently in circulation, while asking for Newsom to “re-open the state.”

In their letter, Dahle and Gallagher said, “After hearing from business owners throughout our districts, we know our economy will never recover without small businesses.”
“We cannot continue to be shutdown and have Main Street be successful,” the representatives explained.
“These businesses sponsor our little league teams, employ our neighbors, provide our children with their first job, and help provide the tax base for local public safety,” explained Dahle and Gallagher.
In part the coalition’s letter to the Governor reads:
“We write to you as a unified coalition of elected representatives from Northern California committed to advancing the health and safety of our communities through scientific, data-driven public health strategies to mitigate the spread of COVID-19.”
“We appreciate your past flexibility in allowing regional and local governance based upon local conditions. It is in this spirit that we ask the state to re-institute this approach and allow regional variance in implementing business closures and prohibitions on certain activities.”
Calling the Governor’s “arbitrary one-size-fits-all mandates” unjust, Dahle and Gallagher encouraged North State residents to contact their local elected officials and urge them to sign the letter and join the coalition.
To date, more than 50 County Supervisors and City Council-members from Northern California have agreed to sign on and join the effort to regain control of North State issues in the wake of the novel coronavirus pandemic and public health crisis.
Additionally, saying local control is the only way to re-open North State small businesses, Dahle reported on July 28 that more than 400 local businesses had contacted her office offering their support and wanting to join efforts to re-open the state and save area businesses.

“We understand the devastating impacts the shut down has caused you,” said Dahle and Gallagher; while asking area residents, representatives and lawmakers to join them in their effort “to come together as a coalition of small business owners and community members to keep the North State economy going.”
“The North State must band together and send a message that cannot be ignored in Sacramento,” continued Dahle and Gallagher; saying, “Let’s unite together to tell Governor Newsom to reopen the North State.”
