CaliforniaInfluencers alifornia, once a conservative stronghold and the cradle of the Reagan Revolution, has been trending Democratic for years Cnow—and this year it was one of the few states where Demo- crats held their own against the extremely strong national Republican tide. In the top statewide contests, voters decisively chose veteran liberal Democrats Barbara Boxer for senator and Jerry “Moonbeam” Brown for governor over political newcomers who argued that their corporate experience made them ideally suited to guide the state through dire eco- nomic times. Democrats also continue to hold a significant edge in the state’s congressional delegation. While they may tilt to the left on average, successful California politi- cians run the gamut from Barbara Lee, the East Bay representative who was the only member of Congress to vote against the 2001 resolution authorizing the use of force in response to the 9/11 attacks, to Devin Nunes, the Central Valley representative who called the Obama admin- istration’s health care reform bill part of a plan to impose a “Socialist utopia” on the American people.

    Grassroots Lobbying Proposals Seem Not to Further Congress’ Interest in Correcting Lobbying Abuses

    POLICY PRIMER: Grassroots Lobbying Proposals Seem Not to Further Congress’ Interest in Correcting Lobbying Abuses By Stephen M. Hoersting and Bradley A. Smith (614) 236-6317 Abstract Of the several policy proposals circulating Capitol Hill to correct lobbying abuses, strengthen the relative voice of citizens, and add accountability to the earmarking process, one policy prescription seems oddly out of place. Proposals for so-called “grassroots lobbying disclosure” do nothing either to sever the link between lobbyist cash and lawmakers’ pecuniary interests, or to strengthen the relative voice of citizens. Grassroots lobbying—encouraging or stimulating the general public to contact lawmakers about issues of general concern—is citizen-to-citizen communication that fosters citizen-to-lawmaker communication. It correspondingly weakens the relative strength of lobbyist-to-lawmaker communications, in furtherance of Congress’ objective in seeking lobbying reform. Efforts to limit grassroots lobbying, require disclosure of donors, or compel lobbyists to register with the government to assist groups in contacting fellow citizens, strips donors and consultants of constitutionally guaranteed anonymity, and would deprive organizations championing unpopular causes of skilled representation. This anonymity, long recognized and protected by the Supreme Court, fosters political association, guards against unwarranted invasions of privacy, and protects the citizens who fund or assist groups such as Progress for America or People for the American Way from calumny, obloquy, and possible retribution—including retribution by public officials. Disclosure is not always a good thing. The rationale for requiring disclosure of contributions to candidate campaigns, and disclosure of direct lobbying activity, is the same for protecting anonymity in the discussion of policy issues: to protect citizens from retribution by abusive officeholders.

  • California's Political Reforms

    California's Political Reforms

    California’s Political Reforms: A Brief History April 2015 Eric McGhee with research support from Daniel Krimm Supported with funding from the S. D. Bechtel, Jr. Foundation Summary In recent years, California has enacted a series of important political reforms to improve the policymaking process in Sacramento. Two in particular have received by far the most attention: a radically open “top-two” primary system, and an independent citizen commission that draws congressional and state legislative districts. These reforms are ambitiously experimental, often pushing the boundaries of what has been attempted before and could be adopted by other states. They also provide useful test cases for understanding how policymakers can most effectively shepherd change through the political system: each suffered at least one failed attempt before it was successful. This report identifies factors that contributed to these failures, and successes, listed below. Ultimately, we see that the coalitions policymakers build—and the tools available to them for fighting or promoting reform— are the most important pieces of the puzzle. There is little evidence that California voters radically changed their views of Sacramento politics in a way that contributed directly to reform success. In fact, polls suggest that voters who were more negative about Sacramento were actually less likely to support reform. This is not to suggest that voters were happy with the status quo, but rather that changes in happiness do not offer a promising explanation for reform success. The reforms’ content may have had an effect. Voters generally preferred a redistricting panel of average citizens to one of judges or legislators—the exact structure of the reform the state finally adopted.
