Ted Gaines is an California politician, representing the 4th District (centered on Roseville) in the California State Assembly. He succeeded longtime local politician Tim Leslie in the post. A Republican, Gaines is an opponent of what he describes as "big government social programs." [1] Gaines, a local businessman and homeschooling proponent, holds views on issues that can be generally classified as conservative, which puts him in line with the area's leanings (Placer County has not voted for a Democratic nominee for President since Hubert Humphrey). According to the Sacramento Bee, Gaines opposes driver's licenses for illegal immigrants, believes in building more prisons before focusing on rehabilitation, and opposes campaign finance reform. [2] He takes office in January of 2007.
