Home MenuDistrict #5- Robert "Bobby" Macaulay
BIOGRAPHY
I was born and raised in Madera County and have seen firsthand the transformation over the past 35 years. I have learned a lot from leaders in our community and I am confident that bringing together the ideas of the past and present will help us overcome today’s challenges.
I attended Cuesta Community College in San Luis Obispo and then transferred to California State University - Channel Islands in Ventura County where I earned degrees in Managerial Economics and Business Administration. Since moving home after college, I have had the opportunity to work with a number of organizations throughout the community. I am community focused and see a lot of the work on the horizon that needs to be done and I am eager to work alongside my neighbors, friends, and family for years to come.
KEY PRIORITIES
The Management of our private and public lands.
Our forests and the management of our lands are at the forefront of my agenda. I know that reducing fuel loads in District 5 will protect the housing market, help us address the insurance crisis, increase public safety, create better paying jobs and ensure that our lands remain a place to live and recreate for generations to come. I have an ambitious plan that will bring millions of dollars to the area. Part of the plan, which is currently underway, will create both a Fuel Reduction District and a Parks & Recreation District at no expense to residents in the area.
Housing & Homelessness
It is no secret that we are experiencing a housing shortage in Eastern Madera County. Every week I receive calls from residents in the area that can no longer afford to live here or that are desperate for an affordable place to live. I have helped establish partnerships with local non-profits that will bring more workforce rentals to the area and help stabilize the market. Still, the work does not stop there. Behavioral health and substance abuse issues run rampant in our homeless communities. I am committed to working with the state and bringing forth “Care Courts” that will provide these individuals with the long-term care that is needed to get them off the streets.
Public Safety
I am committed to working with County Fire and the Sheriff’s Office on ensuring that our emergency responders have the greatest opportunity for success. This means ensuring that they have the right tools, equipment, and adequate staffing to safely help protect us in an emergency. I will always be willing to meet with and work with both leadership and operational staff to ensure that these needs are met. More than anything, I am available to talk things through, explore ideas, and lead change in the name of public safety.
Let’s work together to meet the challenges of tomorrow.
Overcoming many of the challenges facing our district today will require partnerships both in the community and with private businesses. We have to work together to help make Madera County a better place to live, work, and play.
