The Honorable Howard Kaloogian (Republican) served as a Member of the California State Assembly from 1994-2000.

Mr. Kaloogian led the historic effort that resulted in the first recall of a Governor of California in History.

Considering former President and California Governor Ronald Reagan to be one of his political heroes, Kaloogian was also a leader in the effort to designate "California... Reagan Country" as authorized “vanity” license plates for use by California drivers.

A champion of Proposition 13 and taxpayer hero, Kaloogian is a strong voice for fiscal responsibility, individual freedoms and conservative values. Kaloogian continues his efforts on this front as a conservative radio talk show host, noted convention speaker, documentary host and advocate for a limited role for the government consistent with constitutional guidelines.
