The judge sitting on the Superior Court bench in Placer County makes decisions that affect your community every single day. Sentencing. Rulings. The application of the law. That seat matters, and who fills it matters more than most voters realize.

That is why the Roseville Police Officers Association, the Placer County Deputy Sheriffs' Association, and the Rocklin Police Officers Association are standing together to endorse David Bass.

Law enforcement professionals know what it looks like when someone has earned a position. It's not about politics. It's about record, judgment, and character. David Bass has all three. He has the experience and professional record to serve this community with distinction, and he has demonstrated the integrity this role demands throughout his career.

Please vote Dave Bass for Placer County Judge 2026. Some of the reasons why:
- David Bass is law enforcement's choice for this position. The Placer County Deputy Sheriffs Association, the Roseville Police Officers Association, Rocklin Police Officers' Association. Placer County Prosecutors Association , Placer District Attorney Morgan Gire and Placer Sheriff Wayne Woo are among his supporters. Why? Because they interact with the court on a daily basis -- they've seen the appointed judge and compared his record to Dave's record. In addition to his part-time service as Mayor of Rocklin, Dave's full-time job is as a Deputy District Attorney for Sacramento County. His prior experience in private practice, as a Deputy State Attorney General, and a Deputy District Attorney in Placer give him the real world -- and courtroom -- experience we need for a judge.
- Dave is the business community's choice for this position. After interviewing the candidates, the political action committees of the Roseville Area Chamber of Commerce and the Rocklin Area Chamber of Commerce chose to support Dave.
- Dave is the choice of advocates for crime victims. Crime Victims United, California's leading advocacy group for crime victims, endorsed Dave and Placer families who've experienced horrific crimes and been thrust into the role of advocates for crime victims support Dave. A very special thank you to those families for standing up.
- Our local elected leaders who make public safety a priority support Dave, including Assemblyman Joe Patterson, Krista Bernasconi - Mayor, City of Roseville, Lincoln Mayor Richard Pearl, Placer County Supervisor Bonnie Gore, Placer County Supervisor Cindy Gustafson, Supervisor Anthony M. DeMattei, Shanti Landon - Placer County Supervisor, Placer County Suzanne Jones, and councilmembers from a number of cities, including Rocklin, Roseville and Lincoln.
- Other community groups are behind Dave as well, including the Asian Americans for Good Government PAC.
The appointed judge, Leon Dixson, makes much of his support from other judges, which is essentially the only group that sides with him. With all due respect to the other judges, they do not appear before appointed Judge Leon Dixson. They are busy in their own courtrooms and don't have time to watch what he's doing. The local prosecutors and police who interact with the court every day see what is happening in Judge Dixson's courtroom. They have cases before him, they have to apply for search warrants to him. The court employees see what's happening as well -- and they don't like what they see to the point that they have endorsed Dave Bass for Placer County Judge 2026.
Finally, it's jaw-dropping to see how California judges 'circle the wagons' when any one of them is challenged after appointment. The California Constitution specifically allows judges to be appointed temporarily when there is a vacancy, then to go to the voters in the next election, which is what is happening here. Individual judges from around the state who probably couldn't find Placer on a map gave him more than $50,000 after a request from the 'judicial strike force' that fights to protect any judge. And I was very surprised the California Judges Association has created a PAC to help judges fight challengers and to deter future election challenges. Judge Dixson got another $45,000 from the PAC. Why? Here are the qualifications to get money: Be a member of the association and give to the PAC at least 180 days before your election. That's it. The PAC, called JET-PAC, goes on to say on its public website: "Your length and level of contributions to JET-PAC significantly impact the financial support you may receive. To maximize your eligibility and protection: Support JET-PAC today if you are not yet a contributor. Increase your contribution rate to ensure you are best positioned for maximum financial assistance if your seat is contested in the future." In other words, the more you give, the more you get! There is nothing about judicial excellence or who is the best candidate. It's all about protecting incumbent judges, regardless of their record. Keep that in mind when you see appointed Judge Dixson's electronic billboard and mailers -- paid for by out-ot-town judges who oppose all challenges to judges. I think our state judiciary needs to do a little soul searching about how they've evolved to this point.

Judicial accountability is not ‘misinformation’ – it’s democracy The sentiment surrounding the Placer County judicial race reveals something much larger than a disagreement over one election - a growing discomfort with the idea that local communities have input in their judiciary.
