  Assemblymember Alyson Huber was elected in November 2008 to represent the 10th District, comprised of Amador County, and portions of Sacramento, El Dorado and San Joaquin Counties. It includes the cities of Lodi, Elk Grove, Rancho Cordova, Stockton, and Jackson.

  As an Assemblymember, Alyson is focused on ending partisan gridlock, protecting our environment and ensuring a top-notch education for our children. As a former business lawyer, specializing in business litigation and intellectual property law, she understands the many pressures facing business in California, and as a working mother she understands the pressures that families face every day.

  Alyson has a life-long passion for community and public service that she brings with her to the Assembly. An advocate on behalf of the Junior Leagues of California, she worked to encourage reform of our foster care system. Additionally, she served the community by working with the Conference of Delegates of California Bar Associations to promote justice and equality within the legal system. Alyson has also served as a volunteer advocate for the indigent, at-risk youth and those with serious life-threatening illnesses who otherwise could not afford to seek legal advice.

  Alyson is living proof that the American dream is alive and well. Overcoming family hardships as a child, she worked hard to put herself through school and was the first of her family to graduate from college.

  Raised in Lodi, Alyson graduated from Lodi High School before attending San Joaquin Delta College in Stockton. Because of her national success on the debate team she received a scholarship to California State University, Chico. After state budget cuts threatened to dismantle Chico's speech and debate team, Alyson transferred to Cornell University where she received her Bachelor of Science with honors. She came back to California and received her law degree from the University of California's Hastings College of the Law.

  Alyson lives in El Dorado Hills with her husband, Tim and two of their four children. They have two children in college.
