Sean Frame, a Democrat from Placerville, has kicked off his campaign for California’s 4th Congressional District with a new website and events in Auburn, Mariposa, and Oakhurst.

According to a news release, the small business owner and vice president of the Placerville Union School Board outlined a vision for sensible government solutions to control healthcare costs, address worsening wildfires, and expand economic opportunity.

Frame also unveiled his three-point plan for unseating current Rep. Tom McClintock — building on Democratic momentum from last cycle, focusing on “kitchen table” issues, and holding McClintock accountable for voting against the interests of the district, the release states.

“We are suffering under a no-government extremist that prioritizes his far-right ideology over his constituents,” Frame said in the release. “I will represent our district by addressing our shared challenges with sensible government solutions that ensure our communities are safe, healthy, and prosperous.”
