He is the Vice Chairman of the Assembly Committee on Revenue and Taxation and serves on the Veterans Affairs Committee, and the Joint Legislative Audit Committee. Chuck was elected in 2004 and reelected in 2006 and in 2008. Chuck has been honored as the Legislator of the Year by seven groups: including the California Veterans of Foreign Wars, the California chapter of the American Legion and others.

Chuck worked in the aerospace industry for 13 years and was vice president of research before leaving work to begin serving as an elected official.
