The Garamendi Campaign: the Nation's #1 Grassroots Congressional Campaign
December, 2012 Contents Garamendi Campaign 1 Calendar 2 Democratic Campaign in 2, 3 Yolo County Paid for by the Davis Democratic Club FPPC 745-850 FEC #35 C00491050 The Garamendi Campaign: The Nation’s #1 Grassroots Congressional Campaign By Andrew Kim, Deputy Campaign Manager Since the launch of our campaign back in January, the principal focus of Congressman John Gara- mendi’s campaign has always been 1) building strong community partnerships and 2) developing the best field operation in the nation. Congressman Garamendi stated back in January, “This election is not just about me. It’s about building a powerful Democratic base to ensure we are a beacon of progress in this newly drawn district.” Since then, we have established over 26 community partnerships – understanding that our partnerships must be grounded upon personal relationships and ser- vice. With our foundation grounded upon the community, our 2nd goal was simple: to have the best-organized field operation, encompassing the best practices of social justice nonprofits, service programs and, of course, the Obama Campaign. However, the key to our success was moving beyond our campaign’s dependency for volunteers but in the development of grass- roots-field programs designed for targeted community groups.

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.

2014 Environmental Justice Scorecard 2 Championing Solutions to the Environmental Health and Climate Change Issues Facing Working Class Communities of Color
CEJA’s 2nd Environmental Justice Scorecard The California Environmental Justice Alliance (CEJA) is proud to release our 2nd Environmental Justice Score- card for the 2014 Legislative Session. This scorecard is the only one in the state to assess how well California’s elected officials supported actions to address environmental issues that impact low-income communities and communities of color. Scorecard Methodology and Scoring We selected bills that CEJA as a coalition or our members publicly supported or opposed. We chose bills that were significant: they would either make important contributions to addressing environmental justice, or would enact policies detrimental to communities of color. In total, CEJA scored 13 bills. Senators were scored on a total of 11 bills and Assemblymembers on a total of 12 bills. Of the ten bills that made it to the Governor’s desk, he signed eight of them. Unfortunately, due to rule restrictions, Senate pro Tem De León was unable to cast his vote on a couple of measures included in our scorecard because he was engaged in helping to move other important measures on the Assembly floor, thus impacting his score. However, none of these bills were close votes and in both instances he had previously voted for the bills in committee. We believe his score would have been different if the Senate Rules had similar rules as the Assembly on such matters. About the California Environmental Justice Alliance The California Environmental Justice Alliance (CEJA) is a statewide coalition of grassroots, environmental jus- tice organizations. We are working to achieve environmental justice by organizing in low-income communities and communities of color – those most impacted by environmental hazards – and by pushing for policies at the federal, state, regional and local levels that protect public health and the environment.

May 19, 2020 Senator Scott Wiener California State Senate Sacramento
May 19, 2020 Senator Scott Wiener California State Senate Sacramento, CA 95814 Via email to: [email protected] cc: [email protected] & [email protected] Re: OPPOSITION of SB 939 – UNFAIRLY NEGATES LEASES & UNEVENLY HARMS BUSINESSES Dear Senator Wiener: Established in 1924, Central City Association is an advocacy organization committed to the vibrancy of Downtown Los Angeles and increasing investment in the region. As you know from our support of SB 50 and SB 827, we are strong advocates for walkable and inclusive communities and greatly appreciate the work you have done to support businesses across California; however, we strongly oppose SB 939 as proposed. CCA understands the impossible fiscal challenges that businesses are facing across the state due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but we believe SB 939 unfairly benefits one business over another. COVID-19 will continue to impact the health and safety of our communities and businesses. As a membership organization that represents approximately 400 organizations in LA County, we know that all businesses are impacted by this pandemic. However, SB 939 only provides protection to a small segment, while shifting economic harm to other private businesses and removing rights from commercial property owners. Governor Newsom has shown strong leadership in issuing a series of executive orders limiting evictions, including Executive Order N-28-20 which gives local government the ability to protect commercial tenants from evictions. Legislative leadership has also proposed a plan that helps lessors and lessees. We request your bill be changed to protect all businesses and not a special subset.

Build Back Boldly Budget Proposes Eight Transformative Proposals and Key Subcommittee Packages
BUILD BACK BOLDLY Senate Democrats Budget Priorities for 2021-22 and Beyond Senator Toni G. Atkins Senator Nancy Skinner President pro Tempore Chair, Committee on Budget and Fiscal Review Senator John Laird Senator Susan Talamantes Eggman Senator Maria Elena Durazo Chair, Subcommittee 1 Chair, Subcommittee 3 Chair, Subcommittee 5 Senator Bob Wieckowski Senator Anna Caballero Chair, Subcommittee 2 Chair, Subcommittee 4 4.13.21 BUILD BACK BOLDLY Introduction Background The Build Back Boldly budget embraces the once-a-generation opportunity for California to make bold transformative progress as the economy rebounds from the COVID-19 crisis: • A decade of responsible budgeting enabled California to endure the recession without massive, widespread program cuts or middle class tax increases – which means that unlike in past recoveries, the budget does not need to first restore billions and billions in program cuts before making new investments. • Tens of billions of available one-time and ongoing General Fund revenues and federal American Rescue Plan funds provide historic levels of resources to take bold action to address existing crisis and make bold transformative progress. • A proactive federal government that largely shares California’s values appears poised to make bold changes for infrastructure, safety net programs, and health care – all of which will spur the national and state economies to soar and therefore pave the way for more bold transformative progress in California. The Build Back Boldly budget embraces the “California Way” attitude that has lead the nation in progressive change and “busted” the myths that progressive policies are bad for the economy. From a tax system that relies most on those that can most afford to pay, to expanding the Obamacare subsidies to the middle class, to fighting climate change, to implementing criminal justice reforms, to expanding paid family leave, to phasing in the $15 minimum wage – California has been the progressive leader.
