2018 CA Senate race: on Environment


Kamala Harris: Prosecuted polluters for illegal dumping and air pollution

Harris also has a strong history of going after polluters. As district attorney, she created San Francisco's first Environmental Justice Unit and went after cases involving illegal dumping and air pollution. As attorney general, she went after companies including BP, Chevron, Comcast, Cosco Busan, ExxonMobil, and South California Gas Company, with Cosco Busan agreeing to the largest settlement of its kind for its 2007 spill in the San Francisco Bay.

Michael Eisen: EPA needs to be more transparent and avoid using hidden data

"They're right that government agencies should strive to use science that people have access to," says geneticist Michael Eisen, who is running for Senate. "The EPA is problematic when it relies on hidden industry data that people can't evaluate, and the public has every right to be skeptical of those decisions. The best way to protect against that is to have sunshine on the data."
