  • 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.

    For Immediate Release December 3, 2018 Contact: Roseryn Bhudsabourg, Director of Communications Office of Assembly Member Ash Kalra (916) 319-2027 [email protected] Assemblymember Ash Kalra to Lead Historic California Delegation to India, First-Ever for State Assembly SACRAMENTO – Assemblymember Ash Kalra (D-San Jose), who is the first Indian American elected to the State Legislature, will be leading the California State Assembly’s first-ever delegation to India this month. The historic two-week trade delegation, departing December 4, is sanctioned by Assembly Speaker Anthony Rendon (D-Lakewood) and will take six legislators to New Delhi, Hyderabad, Vijayawada, Mumbai and Punjab to discuss bilateral relations and have conversations on political, economic, and social developments in California and India. “Our goal is to identify areas where California’s and India’s policy priorities align—with a special focus on tech’s role in enhancing sustainability in agriculture, energy and transportation,” said Assemblymember Kalra. “There is an opportunity here to continue to build long-term relationships between California and India, and explore ways we can work together to achieve our respective goals. In addition, there is strong interest in exploring how we can work together to ensure that, in a connected and tech-based world, democracy can still thrive.” The legislators from California who are part of the delegation are Assemblymembers Cecilia Aguiar-Curry (D-Winters), Richard Bloom (D-Santa Monica), Sharon Quirk-Silva (D-Fullerton), Eloise Gómez Reyes (D-San Bernardino) and Mark Stone (D-Monterey Bay). The delegation is expected to focus on three major issue areas: agriculture, technology and resilience, and citizenship in a digital democracy.

  • 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. Inequitable access to broadband is a longstanding issue, but the COVID-19 pandemic’s effects on students, workers, small businesses, and everyday life has highlighted just how severe and urgent the disparity is. Bringing our infrastructure into the modern era is critical for all communities, whether or not providers consider them profitable. Addressing these issues will undoubtedly require additional resources to be available as soon as possible, so the additional funding AB 14 would authorize—as well as the authority to issue a revenue bond of up to $1 billion—is critically important. Counties also appreciate the explicit authority for Boards of Supervisors to approve the construction and operation of broadband infrastructure and services. For the aforementioned reasons, we support AB 14 and appreciate your efforts on this important issue. 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

  • December 23, 2020 the Honorable Gavin Newsom Governor, State of California State Capitol Sacramento, CA 95814 Re
    December 23, 2020 The Honorable Gavin Newsom Governor, State of California State Capitol Sacramento, CA 95814 Re: Request for Extension of California National Guard Deployment at Food Banks Dear Governor Newsom: The unprecedented nature of this pandemic has exposed the numerous inequities and vulnerabilities present in our society. Principal among them is the reality that many families are only one emergency away from homelessness and food insecurity. The consequences of this reality have only been exacerbated by the economic hardships brought on by COVID-19. In response, food banks across the state have been working tirelessly to feed Californians and it is our responsibility as a state to continue providing them support. That is why we are writing to respectfully request that you extend the deployment period of the California National Guard at food banks across the state for at least the next twelve months. Demand for the services provided by food banks have soared since the pandemic began and the subsequent rise in unemployment. According to research by Northwestern University, using Census’s Household Pulse Survey data, 23 percent of households in California are experiencing food insecurity during the pandemic. At the same time that demand has increased, the number of available volunteers for food banks has decreased. Seniors makeup a majority of the volunteer-force at food banks, but their increased vulnerability to COVID-19 means food banks are severely understaffed if left without support. Letter to Governor Newsom Page 2 December 23, 2020 We believe the extension of deployment of California National Guard personnel and the staffing and logistical support they provide will be invaluable in helping food banks and pantries continue feeding the state’s residents.

  • California Election Breakdown
    California Election Breakdown As campaigning really gears up with less than two weeks until the election, CRA wanted to highlight some races below that our members may find interesting to watch. Additionally, there are more in-depth analyses of competitive races on the following pages. Though there are no projected changes for control of the state legislature, the Democrats are targeting plenty of vulnerable Republican incumbents in the state house where voter registration trends have changed in their favor, which include Assembly Districts 35, 36, 55, and 68 and Senate District 21, 29, and 37. The Republicans, in addition to holding on to their vulnerable seats, are targeting a couple vulnerable Democrats themselves in Assembly Districts 74 and 77. However, the most interesting race may be the one that takes place behind closed doors: Assembly leadership. The end of session fiasco showed some intraparty and interhouse tensions coming to a head with bills dying at midnight as behind the scene squabbles made their way to the floor. The Speaker also came under fire for a proxy voting decision he made, which made national news headlines. Additionally, there is a vacancy in the Assembly leadership with Assembly Majority Leader’s decision to not run for re-election. This will all likely happen outside the public view, but it is something to watch for after the General Election. The story is a little bit different for congressional races. Democrats rode a wave of national enthusiasm to pick up some seats in traditionally Republican strongholds, such as the Central Valley and Orange County.
