California YIMBY✓ EndorsesAbout Damon Connolly
With over two decades in public service, Damon Connolly has been a capable and effective leader who is thoughtful, dedicated, and focused on achieving important policy victories that improve the lives of the people he represents.
Damon has been fighting for the North Bay for 25 years, as a State Assemblymember representing Marin and Sonoma counties, Marin County Supervisor, Vice-Mayor of San Rafael, School Board President, and California Deputy Attorney General.
Throughout it all, Damon has worked to make life better throughout the North Coast. In 2024, he championed Proposition 4, the California Climate and Wildfire Prevention Bond, and helped author the bond’s wildfire chapter, securing $1.5 billion for wildfire and forest resilience. This work will directly help Northern California and our communities mitigate risk and better prepare for wildfires. Damon is also fighting to address the state’s insurance crisis by championing system reforms and authoring legislation to expand discounts available to California residents who are hardening their homes.
