It’s been 16 years since Sacramento City and County each took a vote agreeing to form a Joint Powers Authority to address the regions growing homelessness concerns.
Despite the City and County voting to proceed - the agency was never formed.
In two later Grand Jury reports, that scathingly reviewed Sacramento’s lack of a regional approach, the judicial system called for the formation of such an agency (twice).
Then there was the ballot measure - where citizens asked the regional leaders to work together.
And then the lawsuit when the County District Attorney sued the City of Sacramento for not addressing the issues urgently.
SB802 finally called the question for the people of Sacramento. This region deserves a coordinated effort, true accountability and access to the decision makers.
SB802 is overdue. Sacramento has fallen behind. California’s numbers are improving while ours are not.
Thank you @CAgovernor for signing SB802 and noting in your signing statement how ready Sacramento is for this next step!

Congratulations to State Senator @aishabbwahab on your hard fought victory!
House Democrats look forward to welcoming you to the 119th Congress as we fight for an Affordable America.
And work to lower the high cost of groceries, gas and housing for everyone.

The leader of the California Medical Association said the SEIU-UHW did not consult with the medical community before putting the billionaire tax on the ballot.
"That's how bad policy ends up on the ballot," @CMAdocs CEO Dustin Corcoran told me. "He didn't think it through..."

TMZ obtained video of the incident from CODEPINK, where Rep. Luna says a protester assaulted her.

Like honestly "it's going to take us several weeks to tell you who won the election" is failed state shit and should be much more stigmatized.

Kevin Kiley’s bid for reelection as an independent hit a hurdle as a little-known Republican candidate surged in preliminary primary results, leaving the race too close to call.

I’m flattered, but imagine the horror if I were to be elected as the tax assessor in Orange County, California!

Not even a month into congress, and this man was sitting down having conversations with little unknown reps like me about how we could best serve our districts. 3.5 years later, I was proud to stand with an experienced & authentic public servant as he stepped up to lead California as their next governor! Congrats on such an impressive election night @becerraforgovernor!
What an insightful and inspiring conversation with @SecBecerra today!
More than ever before are covered by the ACA, but much work remains to ensure the health of our Nation. Food Deserts, travel distances to care, staff shortages, and more…we’ve got our work cut out for us.

We have a situation in CA-06, a district we rate Likely D. Democrats are currently locked out of the top two, which would hand the blue seat to Republicans.
The remaining trail is heavily Democratic, so Pan should still reclaim second. But too close for comfort for Dems.

Well, you did warn about the possibility of a lockout here...

For those watching at home, it appears there will be a Republican on the ballot this June in #CA6. Michael Stansfield. You could see him either beating Kiley outright, or splitting the Rep vote so two Dems make the runoff.
@KevinKileyCA always adds the drama!!! 💅

A bunch of accounts (including ones saying they’re Republicans) posting the same pic of a ballot for Becerra. Very cool, very normal Election Day behavior.
