What people are saying about Mariko Yamada
I have had occasion to work with Mariko in an advisory capacity for the citizens of the Capay Valley. I have found her to be extremely responsive and supportive of her own constituants as well as those from other districts. I feel that we need people that truely represent the people in government offices.
Support Mariko's Campaign!

West Sacramento Mayor Christopher Cabaldon Gets the Boot
Unpaid Parking Tickets Result in Boot-Lock on Politician’s Sports Car
SACRAMENTO – Sacramento parking officials today booted the car of West Sacramento Mayor Christopher Cabaldon for a history of unpaid parking citations.
For a car to be eligible for the boot, the owner must have at least five parking tickets unpaid for 45 days or more.
Cabaldon’s black Nissan Z, littered with plastic water bottles, Starbuck’s cups and “Cabaldon for Assembly” campaign literature, was parked at the corner of 10th and J Streets in downtown Sacramento. Cabaldon is running for State Assembly District 8 in the June Primary against Yolo County Supervisor Mariko Yamada.
The goal of Sacramento's Vehicle Immobilization Program is to collect payment from the city’s worst offenders -- those drivers with the highest number of delinquent and unpaid parking tickets. The City of Sacramento is facing a $55 million budget shortfall and is expected to cut the city work force by 10 percent.
Cabaldon paid the tickets and fines and parking enforcement officers removed the boot. When they left, his meter had again expired.
