David Leon Zink was raised in Oroville, graduated from Las Plumas High School and CSU Chico, and now lives in Magalia. He is married to his college sweetheart, Lori, and they have a lovely daughter.
Throughout his career, David raised hundreds of millions of dollars for organizations that make our world better – faith-based charities, California cities and counties, hospitals and health services, colleges and universities, and non-profit institutions. He has guided social service associations to listen to their customers, so they can solve tough problems and grow, and he developed novel solutions when the old methods stopped working.
Everyone loves a good fight. What makes me different is why, for whom, and how I fight. I believe our system of government can endure if we elect reasonable representatives that listen to, speak and act on behalf of We the People. I instinctively put people before Party. I’ll listen. I’ll lean into an issues fight with respect, curiosity, facts, always aiming to bring us together around the right ideas for effective action and the highest good for all.
