Welcome!
I’m running for Senate District 34. With my experience as a small business owner, City Councilwoman, and Mayor, I know how to bring together best practices from both the public and private sectors.
Dear Neighbors,
My name is Rhonda Shader and I am running for State Senate District 34. I'm a mother, wife, small business owner, and proud Southern Californian who has spent the last decade serving the people of Placentia, first on the City Council, and twice as your Mayor.
I have a strong record of bringing jobs and services to the local community and a record of building consensus. I believe in governing with fiscal responsibility so that taxpayers get the most out of their government.
While I am proud of my record in local government, there is still much more to be done for our great state. Sacramento is broken, and I believe you deserve a California that you can afford to enjoy. As your next State Senator, I will prioritize working families in the District and fight to ensure a brighter future for our community, and state.
I've earned a spot on the November ballot, and with your help, we can send a clear message that North Orange County is ready for real representation. Most importantly, I am committed to putting our community first in Sacramento. I would be honored to have your support in 2026.
Will you join the team?
With regards,

Rhonda Shader
