A FAMILY OF COMMUNITY COMMITMENT AND CARE

homework done and have dinner together.

Dianna is currently the Chair of the Folsom Library Commission and is well-known in the community for her willingness to lend a hand. She has volunteered at events like the annual pumpkin patch, Holi Festival, Mangini Ranch Elementary Trunk or Treat, and the recent community costume exchange. In their personal time, the Laney family loves snowboarding, camping, and exploring the outdoors. Dianna also enjoys training for halfmarathons, reading, and entertaining friends and neighbors. She’s a dedicated mom and active community member, often seen coaching her kids' soccer teams, volunteering as an Art Docent at Mangini Elementary, or serving dozens of shifts per year as a crossing guard at Mangini Parkway and Sawyer Way.

Currently, Chris and Dianna are focusing their energies on supporting Dianna’s campaign for FCUSD Trustee Area 2, which covers Empire Ranch, Folsom Ranch, and the South of 50 area of Rancho Cordova boundaried by Sunrise and Douglas. Dianna first became intimately involved in school issues in Fall 2023, meeting with local leaders to advocate for decisions balancing data, growth, and the needs of both Rancho Cordova and Folsom families.

Dianna's leadership and commitment to her community have earned her endorsements from key figures such as former Folsom Mayor Rosario Rodriguez, Vice-Mayor Sarah Aquino, Assemblyman Josh Hoover, Rancho Cordova Councilmember Garrett Gatewood, and many others. As the only candidate with children attending FCUSD schools, the only Folsom Ranch candidate, and the only candidate who pays the special school bond for new schools within the district, she has a perspective and desire for results that only someone with “skin in the game” can bring to the board. She is dedicated to balancing the need for quality education with fiscal responsibility, the latter of which is a skill she has sharpened over 18 years in the finance industry.

But where Dianna truly shines is her command of the details about the biggest issues facing FCUSD. She has encyclopedic knowledge that she can quickly apply to the questions at hand, and a willingness to listen and learn from others on issues where her expertise is not yet honed.

With Dianna on the ballot, all of those within FCUSD, including those in Folsom Ranch residents who have not had any representation on city council nor school board since the first house was occupied five years ago, have an opportunity to shape their community’s future and ensure their voices are heard. She is eager to get to work proactively advocating for affordable building of new schools and renovation of existing schools, increasing access to advanced, elective and alternative courses, building trust between Folsom and Rancho Cordova, and generally, ensuring the brightest possible future for the entire FCUSD ecosystem.
