Media Release Latinas Lead California Endorses Loretta Media Release FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE August 22, 2016 CONTACT: Press Office 714-774-0236 Latinas Lead California Endorses Loretta Sanchez for the U.S. Senate LOS ANGELES, CA – Today, Latinas Lead California endorsed Congresswoman Loretta Sanchez for the United States Senate. The organization cited her 20 years of fighting for policies that support and strengthen women and families on issues including healthcare, gender equality, pay equity, reproductive rights and service in the military. “Loretta Sanchez has a proven track record of fighting for our communities and advocating for the rights of women and families in Congress. She has been a pioneer of Latina leadership both in our state and nation. We are proud to stand with Loretta in her bid to represent our state and be the first Latina elected to the U.S. Senate," stated Latinas Lead California. “I’m honored to have the support of Latinas Lead California,” said Rep. Loretta Sanchez. “As California’s next United States Senator, I will continue to empower women and fight for gender equality in education, workplace and the military. I will make access to education and equal pay for equal work for women a priority because we must end the inequality that women still face in the workplace.” Rep. Sanchez has been a member of the Congressional Women’s Caucus and the Congressional Hispanic Caucus for 20 years and has partnered with her colleagues to successfully pass legislation that supports women. She was a co-sponsor of the Lilly Ledbetter Fair pay Act, which restores the ability for women to use the judicial system to seek redress when facing pay discrimination. As the most senior female on the Armed Services Committee and the founder and Chair of the Congressional Women in the Military Caucus, Rep. Sanchez has led the charge for equal opportunities for women in the military, including combat. In 2005, Rep. Sanchez successfully pushed to revise Article 120 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) to address sexual assault in the military with policy that protects victims, empowers prosecutors, and creates a zero-tolerance policy toward sexual assault and abuse. Latinas Lead California is the state’s only political network that endorses and contributes to Latina candidates. A nonpartisan organization, Latinas Lead California is committed to promoting and increasing the active participation of Latinas to elected office. Latinas Lead California supports Latina candidates who work toward creating public policies that empower Latinas, their families and their communities throughout California. The endorsements are determined by its all-volunteer Board of Trustees, which is composed of women committed to electing Latinas at all levels of government. Latinas Lead California joins with Women in Leadership and PODER PAC in endorsing Loretta Sanchez for the U.S. Senate. She is also supported by the majority of her female California House of Representative colleagues including: Congresswoman Judy Chu (CA-27), Congresswoman Susan Davis (CA-53), Congresswoman Anna Eshoo (CA-18), Congresswoman Janice Hahn (CA-44), Congresswoman Grace Napolitano (CA-32), Congresswoman Lucille Roybal-Allard (CA-40), Congresswoman Linda Sanchez (CA-38) and Congresswoman Norma Torres (CA-35).

Politics by Bill Whalen Quicker than you can say “Lucy pulls the football away,” the Golden State found itself flat on its back, once again without a significant role in the selection process. (The Democratic contest between former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Vermont Senator Bernie POLL ANALYSIS Sanders has been pretty much a given going back to March.) California’s June Primary: The last time California was a real player in primary season? Ronald Reagan needed the Laying the Foundation for What Golden State to stay alive, in 1976, during his challenge to Gerald Ford. Otherwise, we’re is to Come looking at 1968 and Robert F.

  • A Look at the California Redistricting Commission
    ELECTION LAW JOURNAL Volume 11, Number 4, 2012 # Mary Ann Liebert, Inc. DOI: 10.1089/elj.2012.1148 Adventures in Redistricting: A Look at the California Redistricting Commission Karin Mac Donald ABSTRACT California’s Voters FIRST Act created the Citizens Redistricting Commission and with it provided a unique opportunity to observe the implementation of one of the most challenging political processes: the creation of electoral districts by a body of non-elected voters. Despite many predictions and accusations to the con- trary, this first-time experiment in participatory democracy experienced remarkably few glitches while achieving a successful outcome.

BROWN, JR., GOVERNOR CALIFORNIA COASTAL COMMISSION 45 FREMONT, SUITE 2000 SAN FRANCISCO, CA 94105- 2219 VOICE (415) 904- 5200 FAX (415) 904- 5400 TDD (415) 597-5885 W-19a LEGISLATIVE REPORT 2012 ELECTION—CALIFORNIA COASTAL DISTRICTS DATE: January 9, 2013 TO: California Coastal Commission and Interested Public Members FROM: Charles Lester, Executive Director Sarah Christie, Legislative Director Michelle Jesperson, Federal Programs Manager RE: 2012 Election Results in Coastal Districts This memo describes the results of the 2012 elections in California’s coastal districts. The November 2012 General Election in California was the first statewide election to feel the full effect of two significant new electoral policies. The first of these, the “Top Two Candidates Open Primary Act,” was approved by voters in 2010 (Proposition 14). Under the new system, all legislative, congressional and constitutional office candidates now appear on the same primary ballot, regardless of party affiliation. The two candidates receiving the most votes in the Primary advance to the General Election, regardless of party affiliation. The June 2012 primary was the first time voters utilized the new system, and the result was numerous intra-party competitions in the November election as described below. The other significant new factor in this election was the newly drawn political districts. The boundaries of legislative and congressional seats were redrawn last year as part of the decennial redistricting process, whereby voting districts are reconfigured based on updated U.S. Census population data. Until 2011, these maps have been redrawn by the majority party in the Legislature, with an emphasis on party registration.

    Public Comment: 4 - Los Angeles Subject: Public Comment: 4 - Los Angeles From: JOHN CHOI < Date: Sat, 30 Jul 2011 08:43:50 +0000 To: From: JOHN CHOI < Subject: REDISTRICTING MAP Message Body: I live in the city of Torrance and was part of a grossly gerrymandered district that ensured Democrats would win every time. In fact it was so bad that a deceased democrat won handily. I would have liked to seen more competitive races in my assembly, senate and house districts. Quick comments. Kudos for including Palos Verdes area in the district...that was conveniently cut out before due to conservatives living there. I don't like the fact that my city was cut in half in order to carve out a safe "black" seat for south LA for all three maps. My district unfortunately will stay a "blue" district and even more so than before. I don't know why the congressional district became such geographically large and has all the rich white liberal towns in it to ensure a maintenance of a "white" democratic district while to the east is a deliberately gerrymandered one to ensure a black democrat. These two districts should have been more drawn as north and south...without regards to having a white and black district. I have issues with maps that ensured the safety of the Sanchez sisters...carving out even a safer Orange County and East LA districts to ensure their reelection. When I voted yes twice to create this commission, I thought we were going to have natural boundaries based on cities and not have districts that curve, zig zag and circle around spots.
