  • California Elections and Community College Measures November 2016 Election Round up November 14, 2016
    California Elections and Community College Measures November 2016 Election Round Up November 14, 2016 OVERVIEW While the election was last week, ballots are still being counted and final certified results are due to the Secretary of State for presidential electors on December 6, 2016, and for all other state contests on December 9, 2016. The Secretary of State will certify the statewide results by December 16, 2016. Until the results are certified, the outcome of close races may change from what is presented below. Focusing on results affecting California Community Colleges, the election provided mostly positive results including the passage of the statewide bond measure, Proposition 51, as well as a number of local bonds. Californians passed several tax measures including Proposition 55, which will continue to provide funding for education. Voters in San Francisco passed an extension of the parcel tax to help fund the City College of San Francisco as well as another local measure that increases the transfer tax rate for sales of residential and commercial properties. Proponents state, that with the passage of this measure, the City of San Francisco could provide free community college. Funds from this local measure will go to the City’s general fund; however, in July, the Board of Supervisors passed a resolution making the City College of San Francisco free for residents a top priority for the new revenue. If results hold in the State Assembly, the Democrats will have gained a supermajority with three seats switching party hands. However, this could change because one of those seats remains a close contest in Assembly District 55 and all three changes are needed for a supermajority.

  • California Election Breakdown
    California Election Breakdown As campaigning really gears up with less than two weeks until the election, CRA wanted to highlight some races below that our members may find interesting to watch. Additionally, there are more in-depth analyses of competitive races on the following pages. Though there are no projected changes for control of the state legislature, the Democrats are targeting plenty of vulnerable Republican incumbents in the state house where voter registration trends have changed in their favor, which include Assembly Districts 35, 36, 55, and 68 and Senate District 21, 29, and 37. The Republicans, in addition to holding on to their vulnerable seats, are targeting a couple vulnerable Democrats themselves in Assembly Districts 74 and 77. However, the most interesting race may be the one that takes place behind closed doors: Assembly leadership. The end of session fiasco showed some intraparty and interhouse tensions coming to a head with bills dying at midnight as behind the scene squabbles made their way to the floor. The Speaker also came under fire for a proxy voting decision he made, which made national news headlines. Additionally, there is a vacancy in the Assembly leadership with Assembly Majority Leader’s decision to not run for re-election. This will all likely happen outside the public view, but it is something to watch for after the General Election. The story is a little bit different for congressional races. Democrats rode a wave of national enthusiasm to pick up some seats in traditionally Republican strongholds, such as the Central Valley and Orange County.

    MATTHEW HARPER REPUBLICAN California State Assemblyman My name is Matthew Harper. I grew up here in Orange County and attended our local public schools. My wife Elizabeth and I are homeowners in Huntington Beach and we both graduated from Huntington Beach High School. After HBHS, I attended Orange Coast College and then transferred to the University of Southern California, where I earned my degree in Public Policy and Management. My qualifications allowed me to successfully serve twelve years on the Huntington Beach Union High School District Board of Trustees and then four years on the Huntington Beach City Council. I also served on the Board of Directors for the Orange County Transportation Authority, chosen by the mayors of Orange County’s Second District. My most successful year in local government was the year I served as Mayor of Huntington Beach, where I saw through the completion of a skate park, led the groundbreaking of a new senior center, repealed several outdated laws, fought to defend our beach bonfire rings and celebrated 100 years of surfing in Huntington Beach. In 2014, the year I served as Mayor of Huntington Beach, you first elected me to the California State Assembly to represent the 74th District. I have the experience, qualifications and energy to represent the citizens of Huntington Beach, Costa Mesa, Newport Beach, Irvine, Laguna Woods and Laguna Beach. I understand Orange County values. Help me to cut the red tape, support a California state income tax cut, protect Proposition 13 and get California moving again.

    California Council for Affordable Housing Annual Legislative Report October 1, 2020 Prepared for Patrick Sabelhaus, Executive Director California Council for Affordable Housing Prepared by Political Solutions, LLC TO: Patrick Sabelhaus, Executive Director, California Council for Affordable Housing FROM: Tami Miller, Melissa Werner Political Solutions, LLC RE: 2020 Legislative Summary and 2021 Forecast DATE: October 1, 2020 Political Solutions, LLC enjoyed the opportunity to continue working with and representing the California Council for Affordable Housing (CCAH) this year. As CCAH is aware, 2020 was a very different legislative session, beleaguered by COVID-19, wildfires, and a tanked economy. However, as always, it is our honor and pleasure to work with CCAH, and we look forward to our combined success in 2021! GENERAL The second year of the 2019-2020 legislative session resumed in January with the Executive and Legislative branches setting aggressive policy goals. The enthusiasm behind these goals was also met with the state’s strong economic outlook. With more money to invest in state programs and infrastructure, both branches sought opportunities to close inequities and reinvest in the state and its people. The enthusiasm turned into concern as state leaders watched countries around the world respond to a dangerous virus that was viciously infecting and killing thousands. The virus, COVID-19, was shutting down economies and closing borders to mitigate transmission, and despite worldwide efforts to control the virus it was making its way to California. When COVID-19 reached our state, its impact on residents and the healthcare system was so severe local governments and the state ordered residents to stay home, non-essential businesses were closed, and mask mandates were issued.
