John Chiang:
More private money for high-speed rail project
[Six gubernatorial candidates from two parties participated in one debate]: There was a partisan split on Gov. Brown's high-speed rail project, with all four Democrats in favor and both Republicans opposed. State Treasurer John Chiang argued that
more private money is needed for the system, a stance echoed by the other three Democrats. Both Allen and Cox, however, promised to ax construction as soon as they were elected, calling the plan corrupt and a boondoggle.

Kevin de Leon:
Preserve net neutrality in California, if Feds won't
Kevin de Leon released a video message today announcing he will join colleagues in introducing legislation to preserve net neutrality in California. This comes after the Federal Communications Commission's recent decision to repeal safeguards that keep
the internet open and free. Below is a transcript:"I'm fighting to preserve net neutrality because I believe a free and open internet is vital to our democracy and our way of life. Net neutrality is fundamentally an issue of free speech; it's about
who has access to which ideas; who gets to decide what information you see; and how fast your internet works.
"No company should have the power to slow down your connection; no company should be able to hold your ideas hostage or demand a ransom to
access your favorite streaming service or website. In today's digital world, the internet is critical to free expression, free speech, and democracy. If the Trump Administration won't protect consumers, the State of California will."

Travis Allen:
Fix roads with existing funds, not new taxes
Travis introduced the Repeal the Gas Tax Initiative we can actually fix California's roads and expand our highways with the money our state already has. California has the revenues to fix traffic congestion.
Let's spend our existing tax revenue on desperately needed transportation infrastructure instead of California's bloated government bureaucracy and high speed rail.
