From a verified voter in Berkeley, CA2:28 AMRooftop solar is not responsible for spiking electricity cost in PG&E territory
I've recently read that PG&E and some state officials are blaming rooftop solar subsidies for high energy prices. For a large part, this is untrue. Our rooftop solar system exports excess electricity most days. We get compensated something like $0.02/kWh which PG&E sells to other customers for $0.
From a constituent in Alameda, CA3/7Governor Newsom’s recent anti-trans statements around transgender women in gendered sports and transgender healthcare are deeply concerning. His support for anti LGBTQ+ claims made by Charlie Kirk is unacceptable and should not be tolerated in Californian politics. The statements he agreed with incl
From a verified voter in Oakland, CA3/6PLEASE Bring back common sense
I have voted Democrat for 30 years. I'm deeply concerned that the progressive left has ceded all rational positions, supporting ideas that defy common sense that have become impossible to support. This is what I mean: Government waste dominates, spent on useless projects while critical needs are ig
From a verified voter in Albany, CA3/4Despite declining prison populations and fewer occupied prison beds, corrections spending has steadily increased over the last decade. Closing 5 prisons can save over $1.5 billion annually that can and must be shifted to vital services our communities need. Much better to spend the money SUPPORTING

From a constituent in Oakland, CA2/22Stop MAGA intimidation of threats and violence
Threats of violence and retaliation against Republican lawmakers by Trump supporters to pressure them to remain loyal to the president undermine democratic processes in the rule of law. All law enforcement resources should prioritize identifying and prosecuting those issuing such unlawful threats
From a verified voter in Albany, CA2/20I hope you will strenuously object to the bill Brian Jones intends to introduce, limiting SB54, rather than strengthening and expanding the provisions to protect immigrants. Law enforcement needs to be under no illusions that any contact with Federal agents is prohibited. Under no circumstances sh
From a verified voter in Albany, CA2/19California is a sanctuary state. The law is that our law enforcement people cannot interact with ICE under any circumstances. (Are local police officers who do not abide by this law ever punished?) Why then do people who are being released from jail get immediately transferred to ICE by the CDCR?
From a verified voter in Albany, CA2/14I am extremely angry and devastated to learn that Travis air force base is being used by ICE to deport people. There has to be a way that our state government limits ICE activity to an absolute minimum. It is appalling that CDCR still hands people who have served their time over to ICE immediatel
From a constituent in Berkeley, CA2/14California needs vaccines and a universal health care plan
Thank you for everything you are doing in these extremely scary and difficult times. Today I'm writing because I'm really scared that RFK Jr has been confirmed. Could you please strive to make sure California will still have access to vaccines, especially Covid boosters? It might be the right time t
