Ted Nordblum is a longtime Conejo Valley resident, small business owner, actor, and martial artist. Raised in a working-class family, Ted learned at a young age the American values of hard work, determination, and self-reliance. After working in construction and as a heavy equipment operator, he opened his own medical device business right here in Thousand Oaks, where he has worked for the past 18 years. Ted was inspired to run for office after witnessing the erosion of our freedoms, of our economy, and our communities.
