  • Legislators of California
    The Legislators of California March 2011 Compiled by Alexander C. Vassar Dedicated to Jane Vassar For everything With Special Thanks To: Shane Meyers, Webmaster of JoinCalifornia.com For a friendship, a website, and a decade of trouble-shooting. Senator Robert D. Dutton, Senate Minority Leader Greg Maw, Senate Republican Policy Director For providing gainful employment that I enjoy. Gregory P. Schmidt, Secretary of the Senate Bernadette McNulty, Chief Assistant Secretary of the Senate Holly Hummelt , Senate Amending Clerk Zach Twilla, Senate Reading Clerk For an orderly house and the lists that made this book possible. E. Dotson Wilson, Assembly Chief Clerk Brian S. Ebbert, Assembly Assistant Chief Clerk Timothy Morland, Assembly Reading Clerk For excellent ideas, intriguing questions, and guidance. Jessica Billingsley, Senate Republican Floor Manager For extraordinary patience with research projects that never end. Richard Paul, Senate Republican Policy Consultant For hospitality and good friendship. Wade Teasdale, Senate Republican Policy Consultant For understanding the importance of Bradley and Dilworth. A Note from the Author An important thing to keep in mind as you read this book is that there is information missing. In the first two decades that California’s legislature existed, we had more individuals serve as legislators than we have in the last 90 years.1 Add to the massive turnover the fact that no official biographies were kept during this time and that the state capitol moved seven times during those twenty years, and you have a recipe for missing information. As an example, we only know the birthplace for about 63% of the legislators. In spite of my best efforts, there are still hundreds of legislators about whom we know almost nothing.

  • Successor. but the Campaign and Its Aftermath
    Orange Coun tu‘s clique of conservative insiders completed their retribution against former Assembl~Speaker Doris Allen urith a successful recall and the election of a hand-picked successor. But the campaign and its aftermath generated more plots and subplots than a Russian novel, not to mention a criminal investigation bq the Orange Countu District Attorneq. Bq A.G. Block hen Sir Arthur Conan Doyle first introduced Sherlock Holmes to the world in “A Study in Scarlet,”he thrust the detective into a case where the murder victim is discovered in the dining room of an empty house, the word “rache”scrawled in blood on a nearby wall. “Rache,”as Holmes points out to the befuddled police, is the German word for “revenge.” Not long ago, the political world discovered former Assembly Speaker Doris Allen’s (R- Cypress) career on the dining room floor, “rache” scrawled on a nearby wall. The blunt instrument of her demise was a November 28th recall election, the final act in a six-month crusade launched when the 59-year-old legislator was elected speaker last June. She was the second legislator recalled in 1995,the first being Assemblyman Paul Horcher (I-Diamond Bar), who was ousted last May from a suburban Los Angeles district and whose demise was precipitated by the same set of circumstances that finished off Allen. On the surface, the question posed by the Allen recall was simple enough: Should the voters of the 67th Assembly District kick her out of office and, if so, which one of five candidates should replace her? But summarizing the recall in those terms is like saying that “War and Peace” is about a guy who tried to shoot Napoleon, because the campaign itself generated enough twists and intrigues 34 LICENSED TO UNZ.ORG CALIFORNIA JOURNAL ELECTRONIC REPRODUCTION PROHIBITED --I”- I ---.- r .

  • Adapting to Term Limits in California: Recent Experiences and New Directions
    Adapting to Term Limits in California: Recent Experiences and New Directions By Bruce E. Cain, University of California, Berkeley Thad Kousser, University of California, San Diego Joint Project on Term Limits 2004 National Conference of State Legislatures Council of State Governments State Legislative Leaders’ Foundation 7700 East First Place Denver, CO 80230-7143 (303) 364-7700 • fax (303) 364-7800 444 North Capitol Street, N.W., Suite 515 Washington, D.C. 20001 (202) 624-5400 • fax (202) 737-1069 http://www.ncsl.org © 2005 by the National Conference of State Legislatures. All rights reserved. Summary Passed in 1990, Proposition 140 changed Sacramento by setting term limits for legislators, but exactly how has it affected the Legislature, and what can the institution do to respond? This study moves beyond the stale debate over whether term limits made California politics better or worse and instead develops concrete measures of their effects and identifies ways to adapt to changes. Guided by the testimony and advice of informed observers, it offers quantitative analyses using bill histories, voting behavior, the content of bills, budget figures, and other archival records to explore how term limits have shaped the way the Legislature deals with major issues. We find that term limits altered – but did not revolutionize – the type of legislator who comes to Sacramento. In particular, Proposition 140 helped to accelerate trends of increasing female and minority representation that were already underway in California. Instead of being a new breed of “citizen legislator,” however, new members after term limits are more likely to have local government experience and to run for another office—for Assemblymembers, often a State Senate seat—when their terms expire.

After the election, the Secretary of State compares and estimates the votes cast and then delivers to the successful candidates a certificate of election which serves as prima facie evidence of the candidates’ right to membership in the Legislature. 1 As a first step to realization of this right, the new legislator appears in the Assembly Chamber, if he or she is an Assembly Member-elect, or in the Senate Chamber, if he or she is a Senator-elect, at 12 o’clock noon on the opening day of the session. 2 At that time the Chief Clerk of the last regular session calls the Assembly to order, 3 while the Lieutenant Governor performs the similar duty in the Senate. 4 A prayer is offered in each house by the respective Chaplain of the last regular session, after which the Reading Clerk (in the Assembly) and the Assistant Secretary (in the Senate) reads the certificate of duly elected Members as certified by the office of the Secretary of State.

  • The New Legislature
    The New Legislature By Patrick Johnston The power blackouts of 2001 turned lights off all over California, but at the State Capitol the lights went on in the heads of new legislators. They realized that there was no point feeling insecure about lawmaking in the new era of term limits. After all, electricity deregulation was passed in 1996 by the leading state politicians from the “good old days” before term limits ousted them from office. New legislators had to wrestle with the energy crisis knowing that all the wisdom and certainty implied in a unanimous vote by the Legislature five years earlier counted for nothing now that utility bills were rising faster than dot com companies were sinking on the stock market. A remnant of old pros who had designed the deregulation law and a wave of leg- islative newcomers who inherited the mess now had to sort through causes, conse- quences, and remedies offered by a bewildering array of stakeholders. The energy crisis was the great leveler. It was the issue that deflated the conven- tional wisdom that the old order before term limits insured better lawmaking than the new order of constant change. To be sure, the institution of the California Legislature is markedly different in the wake of the 1990 voter-approved initiative that restricts Assembly members to 3 two-year terms and State Senators to 2 four-year terms. But it is not as easy to reach the conclu- sion that a term-limited Legislature functions better or worse than its predecessors that were unfettered by the ticking of the clock.

    Oral History Center University of California The Bancroft Library Berkeley, California Willie Lewis Brown, Jr. Willie Brown: Mayor of San Francisco, 1996–2004 Interviews conducted by Martin Meeker in 2015 Copyright © 2020 by The Regents of the University of California Oral History Center, The Bancroft Library, University of California, Berkeley ii Since 1954 the Oral History Center of The Bancroft Library, formerly the Regional Oral History Office, has been interviewing leading participants in or well-placed witnesses to major events in the development of Northern California, the West, and the nation. Oral History is a method of collecting historical information through recorded interviews between a narrator with firsthand knowledge of historically significant events and a well-informed interviewer, with the goal of preserving substantive additions to the historical record. The recording is transcribed, lightly edited for continuity and clarity, and reviewed by the interviewee. The corrected manuscript is bound with photographs and illustrative materials and placed in The Bancroft Library at the University of California, Berkeley, and in other research collections for scholarly use. Because it is primary material, oral history is not intended to present the final, verified, or complete narrative of events. It is a spoken account, offered by the interviewee in response to questioning, and as such it is reflective, partisan, deeply involved, and irreplaceable. ********************************* All uses of this manuscript are covered by a legal agreement between The Regents of the University of California and Willie Brown dated July 11, 2020. The manuscript is thereby made available for research purposes. All literary rights in the manuscript, including the right to publish, are reserved to The Bancroft Library of the University of California, Berkeley.
