Kit Carson

Amador County, California • Anti-Federalist Party

The founders intended for power to reside here — in the municipalities of Kit Carson, not in distant capitals. This is where the work happens.

Our Mission in Kit Carson

We believe that the most effective governance happens closest to the people.

Community Broadband

Establish public broadband infrastructure as a utility, ensuring universal internet access regardless of income.
