State of the Future
The New California State movement is growing. At the December 16, 2017 meeting of the New California Council of County Representatives the counties of Riverside and Sacramento Counties were certified by a vote of the County Representatives.
This brings the total ‘ratified’ counties in the New California State movement to 17 Counties. New California’s goal is to be at 40 ratified counties in early 2018.
At the New California Council of County Representatives meeting, held on November 18th, three new counties were admitted: Sonoma, Santa Clara, and Kern. We now have 15 Counties who have ratified our Charter and joined New California.
On October 28th at the Marysville Caltrans building, the New California Council of County Representatives met and admitted two new counties, Contra Cost and Fresno.
El Dorado County was formally admitted to the New California Council of County Representatives on September 30, 2017. This brings the number of admitted counties to ten.
Today, August 28th 2017, Modoc and Yolo counties were excepted into the Provisional Council of County Representatives at a tele-conference meeting. This brings us to 9 counties in the PCCR.
On Saturday July 15th 2017 Representatives from Yuba and Sutter Counties presented their petitions for their newly formed county committees to join the Provisional Council of County Representatives. After a brief discussion both county committees were voted into the PCCR.
Jeremy Berg is the representative from Yuba county and Paul Preston is the representative from Sutter. This brings the number of member counties to 6. Once we reach 9 counties the status of the Provisional Council of County Representatives changes to the full charter as the CCR.
We are pleased to announce the creation of a new Lake County Committee for the formation of a New State in North California on May 16. 2017. The committee elected officers and ratified a Charter for the New State CCR, are excited about moving forward with our goal of forming a New State with County Representation by a council of Representatives from the communities they serve.
A vast variety of people attended with ages ranging from young adults to our eldest being a centenarian. All seats were taken by the overflow crowd. Some people stood in the room and there were at least five people outside the doorway.
Our vision is to become a New State in the Union. Our direction in attaining this goal is different from prior efforts. We invite you to attend our next meeting Tuesday, June 27, 2017 at 6:00 PM in Lakeport CA at the Round Table Pizza at 821 11th Street.
We welcome members of all political parties to join our efforts.
On October 27, 2016, the Butte County State of Jefferson Committee voted to adopt the State of Jefferson, Community of County Representatives (CCR) Charter. Butte County is the second

Ruth Haring
Chairperson
Butte County State of Jefferson Committee
We were privileged to have our (hopefully) next State Representative, Mr. Ken Anton, in attendance (2nd Assembly District and Mendocino County resident). He is a vocal Jefferson supporter.
Looking forward to seeing everybody on Sunday at the next Formation Assembly in Redding. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank all those who work so hard to set these things up.
Susan Young,
Mendocino County
