Political philosophy and views


A Republican, Gaines is an opponent of what he describes as "big government social programs."[1] Gaines, a local businessman, holds views on issues that can be generally classified as conservative, which puts him in line with the area's leanings (Placer County has not voted for a Democratic nominee for President since Jimmy Carter).



Private sector


Gaines is the owner of Gaines Insurance located in Roseville, California.



Early political career


In 1997, Gaines was appointed to the Roseville Planning Commission, where he served for two years.[2] In 2000, he was elected to the Placer County Board of Supervisors. He was reelected to a second term in 2004.[3]



2008 congressional election


Gaines formed an exploratory committee in Fall of 2007 to run against longtime Congressman John Doolittle, who many Republicans feared could not win reelection due to a number of scandals. However, before Doolittle announced he was retiring, Gaines announced he had decided to instead run for a second term in the State Assembly, for which he had neither a primary nor general election opponent.



2014 Insurance Commissioner election


Gaines ran for California Insurance Commissioner in 2014 against Democratic incumbent Dave Jones.[4] They both advanced to the general election, which Jones won by 4,038,165 votes (57.5%) to 2,981,951 (42.5%).



2018 Board of Equalization election


Gaines ran for District 1 of the California Board of Equalization in November 2018 and won with 52% of the votes.[5]



Private life


Gaines and his wife, Beth, who has also served in politics, currently live in El Dorado Hills with their six children.[6]
