2024 CA Senate race: on Government Reform

Adam Schiff: Need to pass historic voting rights protection legislation

First, we need to pass historic voting rights protection legislation--H.R. 1, the For the People Act, and H.R. 4, the John Lewis Voting Rights Act. Second, we must pass my landmark reform package, The Protecting our Democracy Act. It's an ambitious set of reforms that would enshrine our democratic guardrails into law. No longer a suggestion. But law. We must ensure that no future president can do the kind of damage Trump has done--ever again. Source: 2024 California Senate campaign website AdamSchiff.com Apr 9, 2023

Katie Porter: Only House Democrat to oppose return of earmarks

Katie "does Congress" differently: Katie is leading the fight to ban Members of Congress and their families from trading stocks.
She is one of just ten Members of Congress who doesn't take a cent of corporate PAC or federal lobbyist money.
When Congress brought back earmarks--meaning funds for politicians' pet projects--in 2021, Katie was the only Democrat to oppose them.

Steve Garvey: Get government out of the way of small businesses

Innovation and entrepreneurship are at the heart of who we are as Californians. But for too many, the California dream has faded, as high taxes and red tape have made it impossible to start a small business and create jobs in our state. It's time for a new approach that embraces small businesses and job creation, gets government out of the way, and taps into the spirit of hard-working small business owners and job creators across California.
