  1. Richard Roehm has dedicated his life to service. He has done this throughout his career as a restaurant manager, a real estate agent, a consumer advocate, and as a deaf advocate. However, Richard’s commitment goes far beyond the requirements of his job. Every day he demonstrates his intense personal passion for helping those less fortunate than himself, especially victims of scams and housing discrimination. I am proud to have had the privilege to work alongside Richard in both of these areas. The people of California and this Nation are better off because of him and people like him.
