All that mattered was that we served people who needed us. Fed up with today’s political climate, I decided to take action. For far I brought that same commitment to Congress, serving people even while too long Californians have been subject to liberal policies by law makers Washington is gridlocked: that are ruining the great state of California.

California State Assembly
January 25, 2021 Honorable Anthony Rendon Honorable Toni G. Atkins Speaker of the Assembly President pro Tempore of the Senate State Capitol, Room 219 State Capitol, Room 205 Sacramento, CA 95814 Sacramento, CA 95814 Dear Speaker Rendon and President Pro Tem Atkins, We respectfully request that the Legislature convene a joint, bi-partisan committee to hold oversight hearings regarding the Newsom Administration’s unwillingness to share COVID-19 data with the public. To regain the public’s trust, it is crucial that we share data with the public, including the formulas and calculations that are being used to guide the Governor’s decisions related to responding to the pandemic. This information is critical to understanding the reasons behind the abysmal vaccine rollout, as well as the seemingly-random issuance of stay-at-home orders and business closures. It is important to hold the Administration accountable when so many lives are at stake. During the Governor’s recent stay-at-home order, his Administration has yet to share the data relied upon to lift the order in the Greater Sacramento region, or information in the recent statewide lift, despite the fact that ICU capacity in some regions is far below the 15% threshold he established when he imposed the order. This has confused communities, counties and businesses, leaving them unprepared to take immediate action. The Administration’s justification that the data and modeling are too complicated is both inadequate and quite frankly, insulting. The public has the right to know what is behind his decision-making process. Specifically we believe the public has a right to the following information: Data, metrics, calculations, and formulas being used to make decisions regarding stay-at- home orders and vaccine distribution. -
February 10, 2021 to Members of the Coachella City Council: The
February 10, 2021 To Members of the Coachella City Council: The proposed city ordinance mandating that farmers and other agricultural employers provide an additional four dollars per hour to their employees would harm many long-standing family farms, field workers and other employees whose livelihoods are invested in those farms, and the post- pandemic economic recovery of the region. Labor is by far the highest cost for California family farms. California’s minimum wage at $14 per hour is highest of any state in the U.S. Adding on top of that regulatory compliance costs and agricultural overtime laws, California farmers already face the highest wage structure in the nation. Consequently, producers in other states and countries routinely undercut our growers on price, a condition that has only become more acute with the additional costs our farmers have absorbed to protect their employees during the pandemic. Farmers are price takers, not price setters. Their customers are grocery and restaurant produce buyers who are under enormous pressure to secure fresh produce at the lowest cost possible, and they have many options in most fresh produce items, including those grown in the Coachella Valley. This council can mandate higher wages be paid to farm employees, but it cannot mandate that the grocery and restaurant buyers will accept that additional cost and pass it along to consumers. In fact, we know they won’t. They will look elsewhere for fresh bell peppers, lettuce, cabbage, table grapes, dates, citrus and other Coachella-grown produce. Farmers in Mexico will likely be the only beneficiaries of this mandate. -
Letter to Gov. Newsom Regarding Drought – May 20, 2021
May 20, 2021 Honorable Gavin Newsom Governor, State of California State Capitol Sacramento, CA 95814 Dear Governor Newsom: On behalf of the San Diego County Water Authority, we wish to share our appreciation for your leadership to help California navigate through water shortage and drought conditions. We sympathize with the local conditions experienced in those counties in which you’ve declared drought emergency conditions, and we are particularly grateful that you have publicly shared your observations regarding the need to evaluate water shortage and drought conditions on a county-by-county or region-by-region basis. As you know very well, every region within our huge state is different in terms of climate, water supply portfolio, investments in drought-resilient water suppliers, hydrology, and ability to withstand prolonged water shortage conditions. As you have framed, one-size-fits-all solutions to many issues facing California – including water shortage or drought conditions – don’t work well and are unnecessary. We applaud your focus on water resiliency, sustainability, and bringing the right set of tools to address very complex drought issues. Your “Water Resilience Portfolio” serves as an important framework to guide efforts to insulate communities and regions from drought. Importantly, we’ve all learned lessons from the most recent prolonged drought that can be used to help guide our collective drought preparation and response during 2021 and into future years, and there are opportunities available to continue improving drought resilience and sustainability going forward: • Localism should be determinative. As you’ve noted publicly throughout your communications related to the COVID-19 pandemic, different regions of California have different needs and localism should be determinative in the state’s approaches to addressing broad policy issues. -
California Elections and Community College Measures November 2016 Election Round up November 14, 2016
California Elections and Community College Measures November 2016 Election Round Up November 14, 2016 OVERVIEW While the election was last week, ballots are still being counted and final certified results are due to the Secretary of State for presidential electors on December 6, 2016, and for all other state contests on December 9, 2016. The Secretary of State will certify the statewide results by December 16, 2016. Until the results are certified, the outcome of close races may change from what is presented below. Focusing on results affecting California Community Colleges, the election provided mostly positive results including the passage of the statewide bond measure, Proposition 51, as well as a number of local bonds. Californians passed several tax measures including Proposition 55, which will continue to provide funding for education. Voters in San Francisco passed an extension of the parcel tax to help fund the City College of San Francisco as well as another local measure that increases the transfer tax rate for sales of residential and commercial properties. Proponents state, that with the passage of this measure, the City of San Francisco could provide free community college. Funds from this local measure will go to the City’s general fund; however, in July, the Board of Supervisors passed a resolution making the City College of San Francisco free for residents a top priority for the new revenue. If results hold in the State Assembly, the Democrats will have gained a supermajority with three seats switching party hands. However, this could change because one of those seats remains a close contest in Assembly District 55 and all three changes are needed for a supermajority. -

E2: Clean Jobs California 2021
AUGUST 2021 WWW.E2.ORG @E2ORG #CLEANJOBSCA CLEAN JOBS CALIFORNIA 2021 RESILIENT: AMERICA’S CLEAN ECONOMY POWERHOUSE IN THE WAKE OF COVID-19 © Dennis Schroeder/NREL © Dennis Schroeder/NREL © Dennis Schroeder/NREL © istock Methodology The analysis is based on employment data collected and analyzed by the BW Research Partnership for the 2021 U.S. Energy and Employment Report (USEER). The USEER analyzes data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages (QCEW) to track employment across many energy production, transmission, and distribution subsectors. In addition, the 2021 USEER relies on a unique supplemental survey of 30,000 business representatives across the United States. Created and conducted by BW Research with a methodology that has been approved by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) and U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), this survey is used to identify energy-related employment within key subsectors of the broader industries as classified by the BLS and to assign them into their component energy and energy efficiency sectors. About This Report This is the fourth annual Clean Jobs California report produced by E2 based on analysis of the USEER, which was first released by the DOE in 2016. E2 was an original proponent of the DOE producing the USEER and was a partner on the reports produced by the Energy Futures Initiative (EFI) and National Association of State Energy Officials (NASEO) after the Trump administration abandoned it in 2017.
