We cannot achieve our goal of building housing for all Californians at all income levels if some local jurisdictions continue to place a disproportionate financial burden on the backs of new home buyers,” Grayson said. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6441686f4abec27290c956d3/5b0b85fd-090f-4345-bea0-684ceb83a8d2/Screen+Shot+2023-04-20+at+4.38.38+PM.png Press - Affordable housing in California now routinely tops $1 million per apartment to build 6/20/2022 But their exorbitant price tags mean that taxpayers are subsidizing fewer apartments than they otherwise could while waiting lists of renters needing affordable housing continue to grow. “That is untenable,” said Assemblyman Tim Grayson (D-Concord), who is writing legislation aimed at simplifying state affordable housing financing. “That is not a sustainable model. We have got to do something to reduce the cost.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6441686f4abec27290c956d3/73745a3d-28a7-4b5e-a9e3-fba42fe7b8f3/Screen+Shot+2023-04-20+at+4.40.57+PM.png Press - Ban on Police Choke Holds Moves Forward in California Senate 8/7/2020 “AB 767 is California’s opportunity to demonstrate that we value the lives and experiences of all victims and particularly Black and brown victims of police violence,” said Assemblyman Tim Grayson, lead author of the bill. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6441686f4abec27290c956d3/1682034480176-JUJ0R0FL1LUPW99XGBT6/unsplash-image-sPpe2D7VbpM.jpg Press - Editorial: California housing prices are too damn high. Cities can help change that if they want to 4/28/2020 Now a handful of Democratic lawmakers have proposed eight bills that would cap development fees and change the way such fees are calculated, disclosed and justified by local governments. The effort is being led by Assemblyman Tim Grayson (D-Concord), whose 2017 bill commissioned the statewide study of development fees. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6441686f4abec27290c956d3/1682008181023-FP125VIARPB2VWRNG94K/caapprovesrentcontrol.jpg Press - California Approves Statewide Rent Control to Ease Housing Crisis 9/11/2019 California lawmakers approved a statewide rent cap on Wednesday covering millions of tenants, the biggest step yet in a surge of initiatives to address an affordable-housing crunch nationwide. The bill limits annual rent increases to 5 percent after inflation and offers new barriers to eviction, providing a bit of housing security in a state with the nation’s highest housing prices and a swelling homeless population. https://www.graysonforca.com/public-safety daily 0.75 2023-04-26 https://www.graysonforca.com/jobs-and-the-economy daily 0.75 2023-04-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6441686f4abec27290c956d3/1682008187978-B2SNCWRYRTR84NL9P8LW/Golies-15-LR.jpg Jobs and the Economy https://www.graysonforca.com/housing daily 0.75 2023-04-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6441686f4abec27290c956d3/1682008191115-YE21222LA67X8BTQ2B9P/maxresdefault.jpg Housing https://www.graysonforca.com/about-tim daily 0.75 2024-02-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6441686f4abec27290c956d3/14b1b2ff-fcb9-4dd8-b4f0-18da2b71b952/Tim+Family.jpg About Tim - Meet Tim Tim Grayson represents more than half a million Contra Costa County residents in the California State Assembly. A small business owner and the former Mayor of Concord, Tim is focused on fighting for quality jobs and economic security for working families, addressing California’s housing crisis, and taking on predatory lenders and financial fraudsters across our state. Tim was the first in his family to earn a college degree. His father was a Teamster and his mother was a public transit worker. Tim has been a licensed general building contractor for nearly 30 years and operates his own small business. . In 2010, he was elected to the Concord City Council, winning reelection in 2014 and eventually serving as the City’s Mayor. As Mayor, Tim worked to balance the City’s 90 million dollar budget and built up the rainy day fund. Since being elected to the Assembly, Tim has authored and passed historic legislation to build more housing that is affordable for working families, establish statewide rent protections to help more Californians stay in their homes, and increase access to effective mental health services for our California firefighters and first responders. Tim passed legislation to put an end to predatory lending and rein in the payday loan industry. He secured $20 million in statewide funding for Family Justice Centers which help connect victims of domestic abuse and interpersonal violence with support from a wide array of state agencies. Grayson was at the forefront of the effort to create a new budget reserve account to complement the state’s constitutionally capped Rainy Day Fund. Tim and his wife of more than 30 years, Tammy, have two children and live in Concord. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6441686f4abec27290c956d3/1682008194234-RD406KEGKN4W9VABD2TO/atDesk-23-LR.jpg About Tim https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6441686f4abec27290c956d3/1682008194244-MGCHKQWKHV0L3H2SDXOD/Electricians-48-LR.jpg About Tim https://www.graysonforca.com/photos daily 0.75 2024-08-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6441686f4abec27290c956d3/dfdf2963-cc32-4ed7-9c8d-fde1bed998f7/0N0A1159-HI_RES.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6441686f4abec27290c956d3/82b95a85-90fa-4198-b498-d3b6a5b195e7/0N0A0645-HI_RES.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6441686f4abec27290c956d3/0534e8c0-053b-4933-a536-1d4c850fbebe/2023+Legislative+Scorecard.jpeg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6441686f4abec27290c956d3/1682008197350-7TQ7YJI1JHHXKJHWGYQK/Golies-11-LR.jpg Photos https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6441686f4abec27290c956d3/1682008197342-MLA49GW2JF74G9TLA61C/wWomen-03-LR.jpg Photos https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6441686f4abec27290c956d3/1682008197357-LCDBEZPL7XZA01GPURA0/Electricians-04-LR.jpg Photos https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6441686f4abec27290c956d3/1682008197375-PTWRM0MWB1LP2AURJEEN/Police3-22-LR.jpg Photos https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6441686f4abec27290c956d3/1682008197477-HBPDN63766AYCP74JXJG/DSC_0078.jpg Photos https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6441686f4abec27290c956d3/1682008197383-BDSV2MGMBNO72JE1LYXW/FamilyPort-08-LR.jpg Photos https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6441686f4abec27290c956d3/1682008197391-SMMJM9RV1BQFBFY0EKO5/atDesk-16-LR.jpg Photos https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6441686f4abec27290c956d3/1682008197409-31C4JOR7WL2W0SP8X1IU/Cream-08-LR.jpg Photos https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6441686f4abec27290c956d3/1682008197500-KUKODUU1WPT2OM6223M7/DSC_0129+%281%29.jpg Photos https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6441686f4abec27290c956d3/1682008197484-6EGQVDS5UCNVII208VOI/DSC_0369.jpg Photos https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6441686f4abec27290c956d3/1682008197431-HQGOUIE0OTZX9MJ6TWS3/Family_Justice-04-LR.jpg Photos https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6441686f4abec27290c956d3/1682008197422-J14EANVI0T5YDC7X33AX/Helick_Piano-07-LR.jpg Photos https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6441686f4abec27290c956d3/1682008197442-9JXI589RHPA0DX0HOD3P/wWomen-59-LR.jpg Photos https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6441686f4abec27290c956d3/1682008197399-8A6E74GBG243SIEADSPF/Portrait-13-LR.jpg Photos https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6441686f4abec27290c956d3/1682008197452-KW8ND6FWR2KV6DIWTOSG/DSC_0383.jpg Photos https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6441686f4abec27290c956d3/1682008197509-08WNGZG9YU54QDITZ052/Picture1.png Photos https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6441686f4abec27290c956d3/1682008197459-62FS1B32NAQYDW5B12RH/DSC_0331.jpg Photos https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6441686f4abec27290c956d3/1682008197468-81MCB1L1J83VXD7T1LW5/DSC_0195.jpg Photos https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6441686f4abec27290c956d3/1682008197491-NRENUGF2LRWTGA7EDTUS/DSC_0312.jpg Photos https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6441686f4abec27290c956d3/5b622116-77cf-499d-befb-378c1ad2f4f0/0N0A0645-HI_RES.jpg Photos https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6441686f4abec27290c956d3/ae2b40f1-fb69-44ea-9256-227d614ad882/2023+Legislative+Scorecard.jpeg Photos https://www.graysonforca.com/education daily 0.75 2023-10-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6441686f4abec27290c956d3/1682008203477-4VL0A9Y04G8T45LPSHSR/Diner3-29-LR.jpg Education https://www.graysonforca.com/healthcare daily 0.75 2023-04-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6441686f4abec27290c956d3/1682008209812-Z5HVWL5BI3ZTRG3X4K49/shutterstock_503631133.jpg Healthcare https://www.graysonforca.com/videos daily 0.75 2024-02-08 https://www.graysonforca.com/home daily 1.0 2025-06-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6441686f4abec27290c956d3/9b3f7de8-2b5a-4a0c-8e30-7045b31e20d7/Sf+Chron.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6441686f4abec27290c956d3/a535b958-743a-40b5-9fa4-18e048fcec94/Screen+Shot+2024-02-23+at+10.51.51+AM.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6441686f4abec27290c956d3/1682008215057-7MFI4Y8QN1MKVOK6INYZ/Electricians-04-LR.jpg Home - A Leader with a Proven Track Record Tim wrote the bill to end big banks’ predatory lending practices, expanded opportunities for first time homebuyers who are teachers and first responders, and secured $30M in funding to ensure victims of domestic violence have needed assistance.
