The Durston family (Annie, Diane, Jeff, and Bill) on a backpack trip in the Sierra Nevada mountains. Bill believes that that the same rule that backpackers follow, to leave their campsites in at least as good a condition as they found them, should also apply to generations of humans on our planet.

Bill introduces Senator Max Cleland to one of his supporters. Senator Cleland, a fellow decorated Vietnam veteran and former head of the Veterans Administration, endorsed Bill's 2006 campaign. (2008 campaign endorsements are in progress.)

When citizens came to Bill to ask him to run for Congress, he thought long and hard about taking time off from his work in the ER. Bill decided, though, that at this time in his career and in our nation's history, he could potentially do more for his fellow citizens by serving as a Congressman.

Bill with General Wesley Clark. General Clark, the Supreme Allied Nato Commander during the Kosovo conflict, endorsed Bill in 2006. (2008 campaign endorsements are in progress.) General Clark noted that under his command, not a single U.S. soldier was lost during the successful NATO campaign to stop the genocide in Kosovo in 1999.

Bill notes that one of the most important skills of a good Emergency Physician is being a good listener. He believes that the same is true of being a good Congressman.

Bill and his fellow former Marine, retired Col. Jim Cook, who is running for State Assembly. Bill and Jim are true to the Marine Corps motto, "Semper Fidelis," (always faithful). Bill and Jim will serve their constituents faithfully - Bill in the U.S. House of Representatives, and Jim in the State Assembly.

Bill and colleagues outside the ER. For over 25 years, Bill's been working with his ER colleagues in Sacramento to provide the best possible care for his patients, without regard to their ability to pay. As a Congressman, Bill will work for affordable health care for all our residents.
