May 12, 2020 The Honorable Mitch McConnell The Honorable Charles Schumer Majority Leader Minority Leader United States Senate United States Senate Washington, D.C. 20510 Washington, D.C. 20510 The Honorable Nancy Pelosi The Honorable Kevin McCarthy Speaker of the House House Minority Leader U.S. House of Representatives U.S. House of Representatives Washington, D.C. 20515 Washington, D.C. 20515 RE: Temporarily Expand SNAP in the Next Federal COVID-19 Relief Package to Lift Up Vulnerable Families and Support Local Economies Dear Speaker Pelosi and Leaders McConnell, Schumer, and McCarthy: We, the undersigned mayors representing cities across the nation, appreciate your work on the Families First Coronavirus Response Act (FFCRA) and Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act to help workers, employers, older Americans, and children, but much more needs to be done to ensure that our residents can weather this crisis. During this time of soaring unemployment, financial insecurity, and growing hunger, we urge Congress to temporarily increase SNAP benefit levels in the next federal COVID-19 relief package. America’s cities are on the front line of responding to unprecedented disruption to local economies triggered by COVID-19. As mayors, we need every option available to fight hunger and stimulate the economy in our cities. SNAP is a proven solution to both challenges. By providing families with a grocery benefit they can use to purchase food directly, SNAP is a safe, effective way to ensure that low-income children and their families can get the food they need during this unprecedented crisis. While the FFCRA provided USDA with authority to increase emergency SNAP allotments for existing SNAP households to the maximum benefit, the most vulnerable families—roughly 12 million people, including 5 million children—received no additional nutrition assistance because their household already received the maximum SNAP benefit.

April 8, 2021 The Honorable Toni Atkins The Honorable Anthony Rendon Senate Pro Tempore Assembly Speaker State Capitol State Capitol Sacramento, CA 95814 Sacramento, CA 95814 The Honorable Nancy Skinner The Honorable Phil Ting Chair, Senate Budget Committee Chair, Assembly Budget Committee State Capitol State Capitol Sacramento, CA 95814 Sacramento, CA 95814 Dear President Pro Tempore Atkins, Speaker Rendon and Budget Chairs Skinner and Ting, We appreciate your willingness to meet with us, and to continue your partnership with the mayors of our largest cities in finding pragmatic solutions to address our state’s homelessness crisis. Given the scale of the challenge we collectively face, and because of the extraordinary opportunity created by two unique circumstances--the passage of the American Rescue Plan and the state’s budget surplus--we write to revisit our prior budget request. As you know, we have long believed that the state must identify an ongoing, consistent allocation of flexible funding sufficient to meet the enormity of the challenge in our cities for affordable housing construction and supportive services. While our economic challenges make it difficult to identify an ongoing revenue source, the large amount of one-time funding presents a generational opportunity to make a dramatic move to address our homelessness crisis. That can be accomplished by setting aside a one-time allocation of $16 billion for a steady expenditure of $4 billion per year over the next four years. Through our partnership, we’ve accomplished much in our cities in recent years through such initiatives as Project Homekey, HHAP, and HEAP. We created permanent or transitional housing for our homeless at an average cost to the state of $148,000 per unit under Project Homekey, for instance, and we built prefabricated dorms, modular housing, tiny homes, and shelters even more cost-effectively with state and local dollars.

July 8, 2019 Governor Gavin Newsom Senate President Pro Tem Toni
July 8, 2019 Governor Gavin Newsom Senate President Pro Tem Toni Atkins Assembly Speaker Anthony Rendon RE: AB 1054 (Holden) – Wildfires – CONCERNS and Request for Amendments Dear Governor Newsom, President Pro Tem Atkins, and Speaker Rendon: As mayors of three of the state’s largest cities, we believe local governments can and should play a leading role in ensuring that our electricity is safe, reliable, affordable, and clean. We support your efforts to ensure that the victims of the recent devastating California wildfires are made whole and that the state government does everything it can to reduce the likelihood and severity of future wildfires. We respectfully express our significant concerns about the July 5 version of AB 1054 (Holden), which would expand the California Public Utilities Commission’s (CPUC’s) authority over local government decision-making when considering the acquisition of assets from an electrical corporation. This proposed expansion of CPUC authority is unnecessary to achieve the goals of the bill and would not meaningfully address the risk of future catastrophic wildfires. Additionally, this section of the bill would set a dangerous precedent by limiting local government autonomy over its own employee relationships established through locally-negotiated collective bargaining agreements. To our knowledge, this specific language was added to the bill on July 5, was not circulated to potentially impacted stakeholders, including in our cities, and had not been publicly discussed prior to being amended into the bill. AB 1054 would amend Public Utilities Code (PUC) Sections 854 and 854.2 to require a “voluntary or involuntary change in ownership of assets from an electrical or gas corporation to ownership by a public entity” to first secure authorization to do so from the CPUC.

BREED SAN FRANCISCO MAYOR FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Friday, March 5, 2021 Contact: Mayor’s Office of Communications, [email protected] *** PRESS RELEASE *** MAYOR LONDON BREED ANNOUNCES LAUNCH OF NEW ECONOMIC RECOVERY PROGRAM TO SUPPORT AND RETRAIN WORKERS $28 million program will expand workforce development, paid training, and job placement for adults and youth in San Francisco, and will include targeted resources to address the disproportionate Black unemployment rate with funding from the Dream Keeper Initiative San Francisco, CA — Mayor London N. Breed today announced a new economic recovery program for workforce development, paid training programs, and job placement and employment services for San Franciscans. The $28 million Building Back Stronger program includes funding from the City’s Dream Keeper Initiative, which Mayor Breed announced last week, and will expand services for workers and jobseekers, address long-standing economic inequities and disparities in unemployment, and bolster the City’s economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic. The City’s $28 million investment in workforce programs is the result of two years of planning, and a full year of public meetings and listening sessions organized by San Francisco’s Office of Economic and Workforce Development (OEWD). The programs funded by this investment will help adults, youth, and San Franciscans who experience barriers to employment. In putting together the Building Back Stronger program, OEWD incorporated recommendations from the City’s Economic Recovery Task Force to develop a coordinated, comprehensive workforce development strategy and provide culturally-competent, accessible job training and career connections for job seekers and those who have lost work due to the pandemic.

Republican Recall Candidate Kevin Faulconer Visits Fresno, Offers Plan for Valley Water
Politics and Government Republican recall candidate Kevin Faulconer visits Fresno, offers plan for Valley water By Thaddeus Miller July 28, 2021 01:21 PM, Updated July 28, 2021 01:27 PM. Duration 1:17 Fresno CA sees visit from recall candidate Kevin Faulconer San Diego Mayor Kevin Faulconer made a stop in Fresno to talk water, cost of living and why he's a key candidate in the potential recall of Gov. Gavin Newsom. By Thaddeus Miller Former San Diego Mayor Kevin Faulconer made a stop in Fresno on Wednesday to plead his case on why he’s a key candidate in the potential recall of Gov. Gavin Newsom. Faulconer’s talking points during the visit consisted almost entirely of the state’s water woes as he stood outside the Department of Water Resources office in central Fresno, where he was accompanied by Fresno County Supervisor Buddy Mendes. “This governor has failed our agricultural community by not providing the water resources that our farmers need, that the Central Valley needs,” Faulconer said. “This campaign is going to be all about changes to actually provide the infrastructure, the resources and the political will to help our farmers and our agricultural community.” Increasing storage and water conveyance by expanding space in places like Temperance Flat Dam and San Luis Reservoir are just part of the plan to improve on infrastructure already in place, he said. There’s money to do it, Faulconer says. California voters have approved nine separate water bonds in the past 25 years totaling $27.1 billion. “That’s what I think is so aggravating.
