“Everyday Californians are struggling,” said Wallis. “In the Assembly, I’ll work to make this state safer, more livable, and affordable so that a generation from now – people aren’t talking about leaving. Instead, they want to stay and raise their families in our communities.”

Greg is running to represent the 47th Assembly District because he believes California deserves better. As a third-generation Californian, he believes that our state should be the land of economic opportunity and social mobility. Greg’s core beliefs, namely the importance of hard work, independence, and perseverance, reflect the California mindset. By focusing on affordability, opportunity, and cutting-edge technology, Greg is confident he can help our region rise to the level of innovation California is known for.
Greg has spent his career in public policy, dedicated to finding ways to solve complex problems and make lives better for Californians. Greg and his wife, Desiree, live in Bermuda Dunes with their two dogs, Gunner and Harley.

The largest city in the district is Yucaipa, followed by Palm Desert, Palm Springs, and Beaumont.
