I am deeply humbled and honored to serve as your representative on the Sacramento County Board of Supervisors. As a lifelong resident of District 3 and a fifth generation Sacramentan, I am passionate about our community.  District 3 is unique because it is composed primarily of urban unincorporated areas. As a result, we rely heavily on the County to provide municipal services. District 3 is also one of the most diverse supervisorial districts in California, and it will take our collective efforts to address the complex challenges we face. Please consider applying to serve on a ​Board or Com​mission​ or volunteer at one of the nonprofit organizations working to improve our community. 

I hope you will not hesitate to call my office or email me to share your views, concerns, and ideas. I also encourage you to sign up for ​ County E-mail ​Updates and my monthly newsletter to receive the latest news about services and programs provided by Sacramento County. If you need information about services or would like to report a neighborhood nuisance issue, call 311 (or 875-4311) or report online. I look forward to working with you to make District 3 and Sacramento County a better place to live, work, and play.​

Thank you,

Rich Desmond

Community Meetings

Please join me at one of my upcoming community meetings to discuss transportation and our roadways. The condition of our roadways in unincorporated Sacramento County is a constant source of frustration for many residents, including me!  Come join the discussion to provide feedback about roads in your neighborhood, learn about the maintenance backlog we face, how we prioritize repairs, and what we are doing to address the budget shortfall for transportation projects.  I have invited Ron Vicari, Director of the Sacramento County Department of Transportation, and Lupe Rodriguez, Chief of Transportation, Division of Operations and Maintenance, to join me. Please see below for dates and locations.
