State of California
Member of the State Assembly, District 2
This person holds your district's seat in the California State Assembly (2-year term).
Assemblymember Chris Rogers took 69.7% of the June 2 vote. Republican Michael Greer took 30.3%. They were the only two candidates. This is a rematch of November 2024, which Rogers also won. The district runs up the North Coast through Sonoma, Mendocino, Humboldt and Del Norte counties.
The winner holds one of 80 Assembly seats for a two-year term, inside a 12-year lifetime cap on service in Sacramento. An Assemblymember authors bills, sits on the policy committees that decide which bills advance, and argues for the district's share of the annual state budget. A district this long and this rural spends much of its representative's time on travel and on securing money for communities far from the Capitol.
This is the same pairing the district saw in 2024, with the same result in June. One candidate now has a first-session legislative record to run on; the other does not, and little about their platform has been published. Weigh the record on its own terms, and weigh how much you can reasonably conclude about the alternative.
Chris Rogers
Chris Rogers is the Democratic Assemblymember for District 2. He took office in December 2024. He chairs a select committee on climate and infrastructure, and also sits on the budget, transportation, and utilities and energy committees. His district runs up the North Coast through Del Norte, Humboldt, Mendocino, Sonoma and Trinity counties.
He says unlimited corporate money in politics is a big problem for voters. In 2026 he wrote a bill, AB 1984, to limit how much corporations can spend on California elections. It got a hearing in April, and months later it is still sitting in committee.
He promises to keep working on rural health care, climate action, and support for North Coast communities, his campaign says. He also says voters should keep pushing whoever wins the governor's race to act on corporate election spending and rural health funding.
Michael Greer
Michael Greer is a Republican and a retired teacher. This is their second run for this Assembly seat, after losing to Chris Rogers in November 2024. They have not served in the California Legislature or U.S. Congress.
Neither a campaign website nor local news coverage turned up their own account of why they are running. Because they have never held office, there is no vote, lawsuit or policy reversal on record to weigh here.
No source found in reporting on this race lists their priorities or promises for this term. What's on the record is their party, their profession, and that this is their second run for the seat.
Record in office
Chris Rogers (Democratic) is the sitting Assemblymember for this district and is lead author of 35 bills in the 2025–2026 session, 12 of them signed into law.

2Figures are CA Form 460 filings through June 30, 2026 by committees controlled by each candidate, and can include transfers from a candidate's earlier committees. Semi-annual reports covering January–June 2026 were due July 31, 2026, so some totals lag a period behind. Per the California Secretary of State's Cal-Access raw data export, retrieved 2026-09-21.
3Michael Greer has no itemized contributions dated after the June 2, 2026 primary reported to Cal-Access yet.
4Total is itemized (Schedule A) contributions and self-funding loans dated after the June 2, 2026 primary, through June 30, 2026 — small-dollar unitemized (under $100) contributions aren't independently dated in Cal-Access's raw export, so they aren't reflected here and this may undercount true small-donor activity since the primary. This also doesn't include money reported only on 24-hour late-contribution reports (Form 497) that haven't yet appeared in a periodic Form 460 filing.
