A 5th generation resident of Roseville and local small businessman, Ted Gaines is proud of his deep roots in the Foothills. Ted’s family first came to Placer County during the Gold Rush when his great, great grandfather James Kaseberg built and owned a sheep ranch next to the present day site of the Placer County Fair Grounds. The ranch home from the 1860’s still stands in Roseville. Upon graduating with a degree in Business Administration from Lewis and Clark College in Oregon, Ted returned home to follow his dreams of being a small business owner. Today, twenty five years later, Ted is running his own successful business, serving as the owner of Point West Insurance of Sacramento. Ted Gaines began his service in local government on the City of Roseville's Planning Commission from 1997 to 1999. He was then elected to the Placer County Board of Supervisors in 2000 and reelected in 2004. He served the people of Placer County on several key Board committees, as well as the Auburn Dam Coalition; Golden Sierra Job Training Partnership; Placer County Transportation Agency; Sacramento Area Council of Governments (SACOG); and Sacramento Area Commerce and Trade Organization (SACTO). As a member of the Board of Supervisors, Ted fought tirelessly for the principles of limited government and individual and fiscal responsibility. His experience as a small business owner has helped Ted bring a pro-business perspective to government. In addition to his service in local government, Ted has been very involved in professional and community service activities. He is an honorary member of the Roseville Rotary Club, is a graduate of the Roseville Chamber Leadership Program and is a longtime member of Bayside Covenant Church. Ted Gaines chaired the South Placer National Day of Prayer Breakfast in 2004 and serves on the Honorary Committee for the Peace for Families Capitol Campaign. Ted Gaines previously served as President of the Independent Insurance Agents and Brokers of Sacramento. In 2006, Ted was elected to serve the people of the 4th Assembly District. Ted has been married to his beautiful wife Beth since 1985. Beth and Ted live in Roseville and are blessed with six children.    HeadlinesWaste management board lives after bill dies -  April 28 Two bills that would have eliminated the state's Integrated Waste Management Board -- a common ...  Matthew Yi in the San Francisco Chron.
