The 2022 General Election on Tuesday, November 8 is fast approaching, and we have a crucial opportunity to start shifting the balance of power in the California Legislature from corporate aligned politicians to a true environmental majority. We’re calling this plan the Path to 62: 21 climate votes in the State Senate and 41 climate votes in the State Assembly.
We’ve identified five climate champions running for State Assembly. Corporate polluters like Big Oil are already trying to influence the results of these races. They’re scared because they know our candidates are proven environmental, public health, and equity advocates that will prioritize climate justice policy solutions. Let’s stand behind these champions because we know they’ll stand up for our community and priorities if elected. Our goal of achieving a climate majority in the Assembly starts with this election.

By contributing through California Environmental Voters, not only does your donation go directly to the candidate, it also sends a clear message to them that the environmental movement is firmly behind them.
Sara Aminzadeh (AD 12) - California Coastal Commissioner Sara is a nationally recognized, award-winning climate change leader. She served as Senior Advisor and Vice President of Partnerships of the U.S. Water Alliance, advancing water access for all. She is a true environmentalist that will be our champion in the legislature. Let’s make sure she gets there!
Liz Ortega-Toro (AD 20) - As a labor leader in Alameda, Liz has worked to propel forward both good jobs and climate action. She wants to help the state build an equitable transition into a clean energy economy, and we need her leadership in the Assembly to make that happen. We cannot let her corporate-aligned opponent win, so help us get Liz to Sacramento!
Pilar Schiavo (AD 40) - As a union and political organizer, Pilar has been a champion for working people, justice, and public health. Her work of organizing with nurses in the state stopped the Chevron refinery expansion, and we know that she will continue to organize against Big Oil if elected to the assembly — unlike her supported by oil opponent.
Christy Holstege (AD 47) - As the Mayor of Palm Springs Christy has worked to build new green space and stop bad development. She has also championed extreme heat resilience for the city and will be a strong champion for clean energy in the legislature. She is in one of the most competitive Assembly races in California, and she needs our support to win.
Rick Chavez Zbur (AD 51) - Not only does he have a background as an environmental lawyer, but Rick has also served as President of California Environmental Voters Board. He has been a board member for 20+ years and ushered in an intersectional and climate justice lens to EnviroVoters. Now it’s time for his leadership in California’s legislature to push a bold climate justice agenda. Let’s get Rick over the finish line!
