ASSEMBLYMAN CARL DEMAIO’S TOP TEN BILLS GAVIN NEWSOM SHOULD VETO

As Californians grapple with rising costs and eroding quality of life, Carl DeMaio is urging Governor Newsom to veto ten bills that will make things worse for Californians. He warns these pieces of legislation threaten economic stability, public safety, local control, and basic civil liberties.


WHY CALIFORNIA VOTERS SHOULD REJECT PROP. 50 AND STAY OUT OF THE REDISTRICTING WARS.

Here is a great opinion piece out of CalMatters authored by Jeanne Raya, who was the chair of California’s first independent redistricting commission. You should share this piece in your social media feeds.
