Pasadena, CA – AARP California is pleased to announce the appointment of Michael Murray as the new State Director, effective June 23, 2025. Michael brings more than 35 years of experience in leading diverse teams within AARP at the local, state, and national levels in pursuit of the Association’s mission to enhance the quality of life for all as they age.
With 3.2 million members in California, AARP California strengthens communities and advocates for what matters most to older Californians and their families, including health security, financial stability and personal fulfillment.
As a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization, AARP has a 60+ year history of engaging with candidates for political office on the issues that matter most to Americans over 50 and their families. We asked all six candidates for Mayor of Sacramento to submit their answers to several questions regarding their positions on critical issues affecting Sacramento voters 50+. The answers we received are below, in alphabetical order by the candidate’s last name.
Join us in celebrating local black leaders in California and see how they’ve made a difference in their communities in our video series: We Thrive Together: Conversations with Community Leaders.
For the first time since AARP began publishing the Scorecard in 2011, more than half of Medicaid long-term care dollars nationwide for older adults and people with physical disabilities went to home- and community-based services instead of nursing homes and other institutions.
