LEGISLATIVE SCORECARD from the Executive Director 2018 LEGISLATIVE SCORECARD From the Executive Director When consumers are cheated, when our public health is threatened, or powerful interests have more say than ordinary people, our job is to stand up for the public interest. We’re funded by tens of thousands of individual supporters throughout the state, not corporations or other special interests, which allows us to be independent and focus on doing what’s best for the public. This scorecard grades legislators on their votes on significant bills CALPIRG supported in 2018, and we are so proud of the breadth and depth of the CALPIRG-backed policies signed into law. Thanks to bills passed by the legislature and signed by Governor Brown in 2018, our electricity will be much cleaner, our consumer products will be less likely to contain toxic chemicals, and net neutrality principles were restored for an open Internet. Childcare centers will test their drinking water for lead, we’ll reduce unnecessary plastic straws from going into our waste stream, and consumers will have stronger protections to keep their personal data secure from identity thieves. In a time of abundance and great technological progress, California has more problems than it should, and more solutions than it uses. We’ll continue to work for healthier, safer and more secure lives for all in 2019 and beyond. Thank you for your support, Emily Rusch Executive Director CALPIRG CALPIRG CALPIRG is a consumer group that stands up to powerful interests whenever they threaten our health and safety, our financial security, or our right to fully participate in our democratic society. We have compiled this legislative scorecard as a tool to educate California citizens about the voting records of their elected officials. 1111 H St., Suite 207 • Sacramento, CA 95814 • (510) 844-6805 • [email protected] • www.calpirg.org Votes in this scorecard Advancing Clean Energy Solutions: Reducing Influence of SB 100 (de León) - Requires California to Big Money in Politics: generate 100% of our electricity from clean AB 84 (Mullin) - Would have created new avenues energy sources by 2045 - Signed into law for really big campaign contributions - Failed in committee, CALPIRG opposed Reducing Exposure to Toxic Chemicals: AB 2188 (Mullin) - the Social Media Disclose Act, AB 2998 (Bloom) - Bans toxic flame retardants in improves campaign finance disclosure of online consumer products - Signed into law political ads - Signed into law AB 2370 (Holden) - Requires child care centers to test their drinking water for lead - Signed into law Protecting Health Care Consumers: AB 595 (Wood) - Gives state regulators more Protecting Consumers: authority to help ensure health insurance SB 822 (Wiener) - Establishes net neutrality company mergers result in better outcomes for protections in California for a free and open California consumers - Signed into law Internet - Signed into law AB 2499 (Arambula) - Requires that more of our SB 327 (Jackson) and AB 1906 (Irwin) - Require health insurance premium dollars go towards Internet-connected devices to have reasonable health care and less on insurance companies’ security features - Both signed into law administrative costs and profits - Signed into law AB 2500 (Kalra) - Would have set reasonable Eliminating Unnecessary Waste: interest rate caps on loans from $2,500 to SB 705 (Allen) - Would have enacted a ban on $10,000 - Failed in the Assembly polystyrene, aka Styrofoam, for food takeout AB 375 (Chau, Hertzberg, Dodd) - Expands containers - Failed in the Senate consumers’ ability to protect their personal and AB 1884 (Calderon) - Requires sit down financial data privacy online and hold companies restaurants to provide plastic straws only upon accountable for data breaches - Signed into law request - Signed into law Scorecard Key (+) Vote for consumers (ea) Excused Absence (-) Vote against consumers (Blank) Not given the opportunity to vote (nv) Present, not voting (counts against their score) Not sure who represents you?

  • Associated Builders and Contractors of San Diego Endorse June Cutter for State Assembly
    ASSOCIATED BUILDERS AND CONTRACTORS OF SAN DIEGO ENDORSE JUNE CUTTER FOR STATE ASSEMBLY (San Diego, CA) – Associated Builders and Contractors of San Diego today announced its endorsement of June Cutter for Assembly. “June Cutter is our candidate of choice for Assembly District 77,” said Shandon Harbour, President and CEO of Associated Builders and Contractors of San Diego. “As an experienced litigator who has represented employers and construction industry businesses for nearly two decades, June has a deep knowledge and understanding of the challenges faced by our members, as well as the issues which affect all working Californians.” Associated Builders and Contractors (ABC) is a national trade association representing nearly 21,000 merit shop contractors, subcontractors, material suppliers and construction-related professionals in 70 chapters across the United States, including the San Diego Chapter (ABCSD). ABCSD is located in a state-of-the-art facility in Poway, California, including offices, classrooms, online training labs, and a 11,000 square foot, hands-on construction training lab. “I am proud to accept the endorsement of Associated Builders and Contractors of San Diego,” said June Cutter. “In Sacramento, I will champion the interests of working men and women, and their families, in District 77 and throughout the State of California.” Momentum continues to grow behind June Cutter’s campaign as more prominent elected leaders and groups endorse June Cutter for Assembly. June has already been endorsed by the San Diego County Republican Party, the California Women’s Leadership Association, Assembly Republican Leader Marie Waldron, Senate Republican Leader Shannon Grove, San Diego Councilman Chris Cate, San Diego Supervisor Jim Desmond, and many other local and state leaders.

  • State Issues
    Week of January 14, 2019 State Issues Legislative Analyst This week, the Legislative Analyst’s Office (LAO) released its overview of Governor Newsom’s budget proposal for FY Report on State 2019-20 that was presented last week, and saw a new leader selected to lead this non-partisan organization. The Budget Legislature appointed a new state Legislative Analyst to fill the role Mac Taylor has held for 10 years. They named Gabriel Petek to the post, who most recently worked for Standard and Poor’s Global Ratings San Francisco Office where he is currently the state’s primary credit analyst. He takes the reins on February 4. In addition to getting a new chief, the LAO released its overview of the Governor’s January budget highlighting that that state’s budget position continues to be strong. They also focus on the fact that the Governor’s proposed budget prioritizes the repayments of state debts and a great deal of one-time funding. Nearly half of the discretionary spending is earmarked to pay down state liabilities, including unfunded retirement liabilities and budget debts. Twenty-five (25) percent of the discretionary spending is for one time or temporary funding proposals, and 15 percent for discretionary reserves. The LAO applauds the Governor’s decision to focus on the repayment of state debts. The LAO points out one thing that many took note of – the Governor has outlined many priorities for budgetary spending. And at least some of the proposals are not fully fleshed out or reflected in the budget document. The LAO was not critical of this but pointed out that these un-finalized proposals give the Legislature the opportunity to weigh in with the Administration and have their say in its development.

  • January 6, 2021 the Honorable Cecilia Aguiar-Curry California
    January 6, 2021 The Honorable Cecilia Aguiar-Curry California State Assembly State Capitol, Room 5144 Sacramento, California 95814 Re: AB 14 (Aguiar-Curry) – Communications: broadband services: California Advanced Services Fund. Support – As Introduced December 7, 2020 Dear Assembly Member Aguiar-Curry: On behalf of the California State Association of Counties (CSAC), representing all 58 counties in the state, I am pleased to support your AB 14, related to broadband and the infrastructure subsidies needed to deploy it more broadly.

Counties also appreciate the explicit authority for Boards of Supervisors to approve the construction and operation of broadband infrastructure and services.

We would like to work with you and your co-authors as this bill moves forward to ensure it contains the reforms necessary to achieve the greatest good for the greatest number
