Michael Biglay ~ In canvassing the District, Michael Biglay said he found that the number one issue that people are concerned about is crime. "Everybody wants more deputies," he said. He wants to see more growth, more jobs and an emphasis on public safety. Different communities have different concerns, he said -- in Boron, it's theft and trash dumping; in Taft, the issue is roads. Biglay would begin Town Hall meetings and workshops to identify what is needed most. "I don't feel we get represented in unincorporated areas," he said. Biglay is a heavy equipment operator for California State Parks, working on roads, off-road tracks and assisting firefighters.
