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.
I come from a mountain ranching family that regarded firearms as a work tool. I support sensible regulation of firearms and gun ownership, such as reasonable limits on firepower, background checks, red flag laws, and training. But not every regulation makes sense in application, so I will listen to the experiences of gun owners to identify where well-meaning regulations depart from common sense and will work for reform.
