  • The Women Who Lead the San Gabriel Valley Support Mike Eng for State
    The women who lead the San Gabriel Valley support Mike Eng for State Senate EL MONTE, CA — There are two candidates for State Senate in our district, a man and a woman. But only Mike Eng is endorsed by California NOW Pac, the California Democratic Party and our Democratic leaders. Why are women uniting for Mike when he is running against a woman? Because Mike Eng is the only candidate with a proven record on the issues we care about most: • Mike fought to strengthen and renew the Violence Against Women Act, and co-authored Senate Joint Resolution 20 to demand the continuation of support for victims and awareness of Domestic Violence. • Mike worked to increase prevention efforts and legal protections for victims of domestic violence, sexual assault and stalking. • Mike has the courage to stand up to Donald Trump and expand access to affordable health care in California. He’s supported by the United Nurses Associations of California, SEIU Nurses 121RN and the California Nurses Association. • Mike — a college teacher and former community college board vice- president — is an effective champion for education and affordable college for all. “Mike Eng has proven that he stands up for school funding, access to healthcare for all, increased childcare and early education, and equality for women.” -Kolieka Seigle, President of California National Organization for Women The women who lead our community unite for Mike Eng for Senate: Congressmember Judy Chu Congressmember Grace Napolitano State Senator Connie Leyva County Supervisor Hilda Solis Congressmember

  • Is All Descriptive Representation Equal?: a Closer Look at Latino Representation in the U.S
    Is All Descriptive Representation Equal?: A Closer Look at Latino Representation in the U.S. House of Representatives Jennifer Garcia Graduate Student Department of Political Science University of California, Irvine [email protected] 1 Across the country, the ranks of Latinos are increasing in the Republican Party. The 2010 Midterm elections witnessed a record number of Latino Republicans elected to statewide and national office.1 Latino Republicans more than doubled in size in the U.S. House of Representatives, making up eight out of 27 Latino members in the 112th Congress. Yet, it is unknown whether their presence benefits Latinos. Although there is a general consensus among scholars that descriptive representation benefits racial and ethnic communities, it is also acknowledged that political parties significantly influence representation, at least for Blacks. Further, scholars have shown that political parties have become even more important in Congress. However, Blacks benefit from descriptive representation because Black representatives place racial and symbolic issues on the political agenda that are otherwise given little to no attention by non-Black representatives. This paper will take a closer look at the symbolic representation provided by Latino Republicans in the 112th Congress by examining bill sponsorship/co-sponsorship and floor speeches in the U.S. House of Representatives. A considerable amount of work has examined minority representation and its benefits. Some have emphasized the substantive benefits of descriptive representation by examining roll call votes, bills sponsorship/co-sponsorship, participation during committee hearings, and constituent services. Others have focused on the effect that descriptive representatives have on minority political behavior, showing that Latinos, like Blacks, are mobilized by co-ethnic candidates.2 Still others have focused on the symbolic benefits provided by descriptive representatives, finding that Black representatives provide the greatest amount of symbolic representation to Blacks (Tate 2003).

  • Federal Retirement Policy Representative Update
    Agenda Item 4d, Attachment 1 Page 1 of 6 Federal Retirement Report for CalPERS Board May 2016 I. PROTECTING DEFINED BENEFIT PLANS A. Oppose H.R. 4822 (Nunes) 1. H.R. 4822 – The Public Employee Pension Transparency Act (PEPTA) – would for the first time impose an unfunded federal reporting requirement on the funding of state and local pension plans. According to Rep. Nunes, the bill is designed to “prevent the federal government from bailing out distressed U.S. state and municipal pension funds, and to rectify serious shortcomings in the financial accounting and transparency of these funds.” The proposal does not protect benefits, save taxpayer money, or improve retirement plan funding. In addition, since failure to comply with the reporting requirement would result in the loss of the plan sponsor’s ability to issue bonds, it threatens to eliminate the tax-exempt bonding authority of state and local governments. 2. Specific changes/developments since last report: . New House legislation on Puerto Rico has been introduced – H.R. 5278. The legislation does not contain any new federal reporting requirements on state and local plans’ funding status (PEPTA). The only pension-related provision relates to an optional study of materially underfunded pensions in Puerto Rico. H.R. 5278 was approved by the House Natural Resources Committee on May 25th and is likely to see action on the House floor in June. It is unclear at this time what amendments will be offered on the floor. 3. Implications for CalPERS: PEPTA would impose new and unprecedented federal reporting requirement on CalPERS and all other public pension plans that would require plan liabilities to be reported in a manner that would overstate the under-funding of plans.
