Issues with this article[edit]
Problem #1 <ref name="LOCO">{{cite news |last1=Burns |first1=Ryan |title=INTERVIEW: Rusty Hicks, California Democratic Party Chair, on How He ‘Fell in Love’ With the North Coast and Decided to Run for State Assembly |url=https://lostcoastoutpost.com/2023/nov/21/interview-rusty-hicks-california-democratic-party/ |access-date=18 February 2024 |publisher=Lost Coast Outpost |date=21 November 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231122164304/https://lostcoastoutpost.com/2023/nov/21/interview-rusty-hicks-california-democratic-party/ |archive-date=22 November 2023}}</ref>
"LOCO" is a blog run by a radio station and is not a valid source. The information on those pages can be changed without notice - there is no cross checking or editorial.
I removed LOCO added Santa Rosa Press Democrat which is a valid source and contains the information previously cited to LOCO.
Problem #2 - Early life, education and experience is missing entirely - working for Rod Blagojevich [1] The only source I find for this is Democratic Party materials, but it would be important to know that a politician is running who formerly worked for someone sent to jail for corruption and pardoned by Donald Trump. This would mean that the direct Texas to Los Angeles life move is missing at least some time in the midwest.
Problem #3 - Information is stated to come from a source, but does not exist at the source. Source cited "Roos in the News" reads "Los Angeles Times | November 18, 2014 Austin College alumnus Rusty Hicks ‘02 was chose to run for Los Angeles’ County Federation of Labor." https://www.austincollege.edu/roos-news-november-2014/ Has nothing about law degree. Since it's only "chosen to run for" and not an election - I have removed this citation entirely.
Problem #4 - Information from campaign website. I have added "Citation needed."
