Burkholder staunchly opposes the constant push to raise taxes that has occurred over the past decade. California Democrats are yet again attempting to raise taxes this fall by abolishing split roll, and she hopes that her presence in the assembly can help stop them.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">We knocked almost 400 doors today &amp; new volunteers join weekly.
