On Energy & Oil: Clean energy investment produces jobs for CA

Investments in clean energy produce two to three times as many jobs per dollar as gas, oil or coal. And dollars invested in clean energy tend to stay in California, instead of going to other states or other countries. Clean energy jobs and businesses have grown much faster than the economy as a whole in the past fifteen years, and have continued to grow even during the economic downturn.

On Government Reform: Forced legislators to comply with campaign disclosure laws

As Attorney General, Brown forced legislators to comply with campaign disclosure laws and exposed President Nixon's use of falsely notarized documents to improperly earn a large tax deduction. Before Watergate, Brown authored the Political Reform Act of 1974, which was overwhelmingly adopted by the voters of California. This law established some of the nation's toughest regulations governing campaign disclosure and lobbyist activities.

On Education: Give school districts more flexibility and hold accountable

We need to dramatically simplify the Education Code and give school districts more flexibility on how best to meet state standards. We should hold schools accountable for outcomes, not issue minute prescriptions from Sacramento on how to achieve those outcomes.
