She has helped craft messaging around wildfires, the coronavirus pandemic, climate change and many other stories. She has also brought KQED Science to new platforms such as Reddit’s Ask Me Anything series. Prior to joining KQED Science, Amanda spent seven years as an engagement producer with Forum, KQED’s daily live call-in show. She got her start in radio at KALW's weekly call in show, City Visions, before going on to an internship and stint at NPR's Talk of the Nation.\r\n\r\nPrior to journalism, Amanda taught English at Lowell High School. She's a native of Petaluma and currently lives under the \"South San Francisco the Industrial City\" sign in South City. She believes that engagement is vital to news’s future and that good journalism listens as much as it asks questions.",

His work has appeared on Newsweek.com, Slate.com, CBSNews.com, MotherJones.com, DailyKos.com and NPR’s web site. Fiore’s political animation has appeared on CNN, Frontline, Bill Moyers Journal, Salon.com and cable and broadcast outlets across the globe.\r\n\r\nBeginning his professional life by drawing traditional political cartoons for newspapers, Fiore’s work appeared in publications ranging from the Washington Post to the Los Angeles Times. In the late 1990s, he began to experiment with animating political cartoons and, after a short stint at the San Jose Mercury News as their staff cartoonist, Fiore devoted all his energies to animation.\r\nGrowing up in California, Fiore also spent a good portion of his life in the backwoods of Idaho. It was this combination that shaped him politically. Mark majored in political science at Colorado College, where, in a perfect send-off for a cartoonist, he received his diploma in 1991 as commencement speaker Dick Cheney smiled approvingly.\r\nMark Fiore was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for political cartooning in 2010, a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award in 2004 and has twice received an Online Journalism Award for commentary from the Online News Association (2002, 2008). Fiore has received two awards for his work in new media from the National Cartoonists Society (2001, 2002), and in 2006 received The James Madison Freedom of Information Award from The Society of Professional Journalists.",

(There are also another 79 “unpledged,” or “superdelegates,” available, but we’ll get to that in a bit.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After California, New York is next with 274 pledged delegates — so yes, we are the 800-pound gorilla here.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those 415 delegates get split up in two different ways: by congressional district (271) and by statewide vote (144).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Before we get into the nitty gritty, check out this short video, from CalMatters, which does a nice job breaking it down.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://youtu.be/Qfs2fpHdgQY\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Congressional District Delegates\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>The first is by congressional district. Each of California’s 53 congressinal districtss is allocated between four and seven delegates, depending on the district’s population and how many votes the Democratic nominee received there in the 2012 and 2016 presidential elections.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Only two Bay Area districts — the ones represented by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-San Francisco, and Rep. Barbara Lee, D-Oakland — have seven delegates. The rest have between four and six.

In recent years, Santa Clara’s minority population (especially from \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2011/03/13/us/13bcwriter.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Asian American\u003c/a> communities) has grown, but its City Council has remained predominantly white.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That changed in 2018, after a \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11437363/santa-clara-considers-changing-local-elections\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">legal complaint\u003c/a> was filed against the city for its voting system, one of\u003ca href=\"https://laist.com/2019/01/02/the_massive_election_change_in_california_youve_likely_never_heard_of.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> dozens of challenges\u003c/a> to at-large elections across the state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Santa Clara County Superior Court Judge Thomas E. Kuhnle found that the city’s at-large voting system diluted Asian votes and therefore violated the California Voting Rights Act. In a court order, he ruled the city must be divided into six districts, where each City Council member would represent an individual district. In November 2018, Raj Chahal won the District 2 seat.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think I’m the first Asian American, Indian Sikh on the council ever,” Chahal said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11803894\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11803894\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/02/RS41642_IMG_7785-qut-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/02/RS41642_IMG_7785-qut-800x600.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/02/RS41642_IMG_7785-qut-160x120.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/02/RS41642_IMG_7785-qut-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/02/RS41642_IMG_7785-qut.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/02/RS41642_IMG_7785-qut-1832x1374.jpg 1832w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/02/RS41642_IMG_7785-qut-1376x1032.jpg 1376w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/02/RS41642_IMG_7785-qut-1044x783.jpg 1044w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/02/RS41642_IMG_7785-qut-632x474.jpg 632w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/02/RS41642_IMG_7785-qut-536x402.jpg 536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Councilman Raj Chahal speaks at a press conference, hosted by the Asian Law Alliance, against Measure C. Chahal is the first Asian American to serve on the Santa Clara City Council. \u003ccite>(Adhiti Bandlamudi/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Chahal believes splitting the city into six districts allowed him to campaign effectively in his smaller district, versus having to spend money on a campaign that would have to cover the entire city. He was able to walk throughout his district to talk to voters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I went to areas where nobody has ever seen any people coming to that area,” Chahal said. “I was able to converse with people and I was able to chat with them.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He believes that a six-district voting system allows people who come from outside of politics to represent their district and fight for change from a grassroots level.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>What Measure C Does\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Judge Kuhnle’s court order technically only pertains to elections in 2018 and 2020. So, what does that mean for elections in the future?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Enter Measure C. In future years, the measure would shrink the number of districts from six to three, with two council members in each. It would also require council candidates to live in the districts they’re representing, for at least 30 days.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Council member Teresa O’Neill supports the measure because having two council members per district could be good for voter representation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If you only had one person to go to, and if they weren’t available for whatever reason, you might feel unrepresented,” O’Neill said. “But at least, if you had two people that you knew came from your section of the city, that would give you, once again, another chance to have more direct representation from the council.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s an idea that voters have rejected before.

In recent years, Santa Clara’s minority population (especially from \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2011/03/13/us/13bcwriter.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Asian American\u003c/a> communities) has grown, but its City Council has remained predominantly white.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That changed in 2018, after a \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11437363/santa-clara-considers-changing-local-elections\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">legal complaint\u003c/a> was filed against the city for its voting system, one of\u003ca href=\"https://laist.com/2019/01/02/the_massive_election_change_in_california_youve_likely_never_heard_of.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> dozens of challenges\u003c/a> to at-large elections across the state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Santa Clara County Superior Court Judge Thomas E. Kuhnle found that the city’s at-large voting system diluted Asian votes and therefore violated the California Voting Rights Act. In a court order, he ruled the city must be divided into six districts, where each City Council member would represent an individual district. In November 2018, Raj Chahal won the District 2 seat.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think I’m the first Asian American, Indian Sikh on the council ever,” Chahal said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11803894\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11803894\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/02/RS41642_IMG_7785-qut-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/02/RS41642_IMG_7785-qut-800x600.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/02/RS41642_IMG_7785-qut-160x120.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/02/RS41642_IMG_7785-qut-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/02/RS41642_IMG_7785-qut.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/02/RS41642_IMG_7785-qut-1832x1374.jpg 1832w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/02/RS41642_IMG_7785-qut-1376x1032.jpg 1376w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/02/RS41642_IMG_7785-qut-1044x783.jpg 1044w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/02/RS41642_IMG_7785-qut-632x474.jpg 632w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/02/RS41642_IMG_7785-qut-536x402.jpg 536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Councilman Raj Chahal speaks at a press conference, hosted by the Asian Law Alliance, against Measure C.

He was able to walk throughout his district to talk to voters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I went to areas where nobody has ever seen any people coming to that area,” Chahal said. “I was able to converse with people and I was able to chat with them.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He believes that a six-district voting system allows people who come from outside of politics to represent their district and fight for change from a grassroots level.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>What Measure C Does\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Judge Kuhnle’s court order technically only pertains to elections in 2018 and 2020. So, what does that mean for elections in the future?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Enter Measure C. In future years, the measure would shrink the number of districts from six to three, with two council members in each. It would also require council candidates to live in the districts they’re representing, for at least 30 days.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Council member Teresa O’Neill supports the measure because having two council members per district could be good for voter representation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If you only had one person to go to, and if they weren’t available for whatever reason, you might feel unrepresented,” O’Neill said. “But at least, if you had two people that you knew came from your section of the city, that would give you, once again, another chance to have more direct representation from the council.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s an idea that voters have rejected before. In the 2018 primary, before Judge Kuhnle released his final decision, the City Council proposed \u003ca href=\"https://www.mercurynews.com/2018/06/05/santa-clara-voters-approve-measure-a-switch-to-district-elections/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Measure A\u003c/a> which would split the city into two districts: north and south.

These requests date back to when she first arrived in office in 2018.

Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren repeatedly grabbed the spotlight, with zingers aimed at not just Bloomberg but also former South Bend, Indiana Mayor Pete Buttigieg, Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar, and even Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, the race’s current frontrunner.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And Warren wasn’t the only candidate on her toes — or the only one attacking Bloomberg. One of the most heated exchanges of the night came when moderators asked Bloomberg about a series of nondisclosure agreements made with women who alleged a hostile working environment at his company. Bloomberg — \u003ca href=\"https://www.latimes.com/politics/story/2020-01-15/michael-bloomberg-women-nondisclosure-agreements\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">who has refused to release the women from the agreements\u003c/a> — was asked about alleged comments he has made.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I have no tolerance for the kind of behavior the ‘Me Too’ movement has exposed, and anybody does anything wrong in my company, we investigate and if they did anything wrong, they are gone the next day,” Bloomberg said, before going on to list the number of women who worked for him at his philanthropic foundation, his private media company and city hall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Warren hit back immediately.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I hope you heard what his defense was …. ‘I have been nice to some women’ — that just doesn’t cut it,” she said. “He has gotten some number of women, a dozen, who knows, to sign NDAs.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Warren then turned to Bloomberg: “Are you willing to release them so we can hear their side of the story?” she asked to cheers in the debate hall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bloomberg demurred, saying that both sides agreed to what he later called the “consensual” agreements. Warren pushed back — as did former Vice President Joe Biden and Sanders. All three tied the NDAs to the central issue within the Democratic primary: Which candidate is going to be able to beat President Donald Trump.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sanders pivoted to what he framed as Bloomberg’s other weaknesses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Maybe we should also talk about how Bloomberg supported George W. Bush for president in 2004,” Sanders said. “Maybe we can talk about a billionaire saying we should not raise the minimum wage, or that we should cut Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid. If that’s a way to beat Donald Trump, wow, am I surprised.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size='medium' align='right' citation=\"Vermont Sen.

If that’s a way to beat Donald Trump, wow, am I surprised.’[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Sanders found himself the focus of attacks as well.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Buttigieg warned that nominating Sanders or Bloomberg, “the two most polarizing people on this stage … a socialist and a billionaire” would mean that Democrats cannot win back the White House.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We shouldn’t have to choose between a candidate who wants to burn the party down and one who wants to sell this party out,” Buttigieg said about Sanders and Bloomberg.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sanders was put on the defensive over reports that his supporters were online bullies, threatening anyone who disagrees with or challenges his positions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Leadership is also about how you motivate people to treat other people,” Buttigieg said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Amy Klobuchar also piped up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I have an idea how we can stop sexism on the internet — we could nominate a woman for president of United States,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size='medium' align='left' citation=\"Pete Buttigieg, Former South Bend, Indiana Mayor\"]‘We shouldn’t have to choose between a candidate who wants to burn the party down and one who wants to sell this party out.’[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bloomberg repeatedly faced attack for being wealthy, but the media mogul pushed back.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re not going to throw out capitalism. We tried that. Other countries tried that. It was called communism, and it didn’t work,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sanders countered, arguing that when Trump receives “$800 million in tax breaks” to build luxury housing, “that’s socialism for the rich.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Bloomberg conceded that “the rich aren’t paying their fair share.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The debate exposed some of the sharpest differences and the harsh feelings between the candidates. Several of them yelled and talked over each other at times.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It also reflected the high stakes for these six Democrats as the field continues to winnow down, and voters are starting to weigh in.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The outcome of the Nevada caucuses is being closely watched, because it’s the first diverse state to weigh in — one that is far more representative of the Democratic electorate than Iowa or New Hampshire. Sanders is \u003ca href=\"https://thenevadaindependent.com/article/four-years-after-bitter-defeat-sanders-enters-nevada-caucus-as-a-frontrunner\">considered the favorite to win\u003c/a>, but a second-place showing for any of his opponents could help propel their candidacies as the race heads to South Carolina and then 14 states — including California — on Super Tuesday, March 3.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size='medium' align='right' citation=\"Michael Bloomberg, Former New York City Mayor\"]‘We’re not going to throw out capitalism. We tried that. Other countries tried that. It was called communism, and it didn’t work.’[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After Iowa and New Hampshire, Nevada represents a stark change in demographics in the campaign for president. According to the U.S. census, just under 50% of Nevadans are white, 29% are Latino, 10% are Black and 9% are Asian.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yet it wasn’t until the last 20 minutes of the debate that immigration finally came up — with the candidates sparring over who has been the most effective advocate for so-called Dreamers, who were brought to the U.S. illegally as children.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The debate’s importance was heightened by its proximity to Super Tuesday when voters in California and 13 other states, including Texas, Virginia and Colorado, will choose nearly one-third of all the delegates up for grabs this primary season.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A new poll this week by the Public Policy Institute of California found Sen. Bernie Sanders solidifying his lead in the state. The 78-year-old Vermonter was the top choice of 32% of likely voters, followed by former Vice President Joe Biden at 14%, followed by Sen. Elizabeth Warren with 13% and former Mayors Pete Buttigieg and Michael Bloomberg with 12% each.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>No one else hit double digits. The results show a steep decline for Biden in California from the January PPIC poll, where Biden had 24% compared with 27% for Sanders and 23% for Warren.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The California Secretary of State’s office sent out 16 million vote-by-mail ballots earlier this month, and returned ballots are beginning to trickle in. According to the ballot tracking firm Political Data, Inc., about 8% of those ballots were returned as of Tuesday. Many voters may wait until after the South Carolina debate on Feb. 25 to see whether their favorite candidate is still viable before voting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren repeatedly grabbed the spotlight, with zingers aimed at not just Bloomberg but also former South Bend, Indiana Mayor Pete Buttigieg, Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar, and even Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, the race’s current frontrunner.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And Warren wasn’t the only candidate on her toes — or the only one attacking Bloomberg. One of the most heated exchanges of the night came when moderators asked Bloomberg about a series of nondisclosure agreements made with women who alleged a hostile working environment at his company. Bloomberg — \u003ca href=\"https://www.latimes.com/politics/story/2020-01-15/michael-bloomberg-women-nondisclosure-agreements\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">who has refused to release the women from the agreements\u003c/a> — was asked about alleged comments he has made.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I have no tolerance for the kind of behavior the ‘Me Too’ movement has exposed, and anybody does anything wrong in my company, we investigate and if they did anything wrong, they are gone the next day,” Bloomberg said, before going on to list the number of women who worked for him at his philanthropic foundation, his private media company and city hall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Warren hit back immediately.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I hope you heard what his defense was …. ‘I have been nice to some women’ — that just doesn’t cut it,” she said. “He has gotten some number of women, a dozen, who knows, to sign NDAs.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Warren then turned to Bloomberg: “Are you willing to release them so we can hear their side of the story?” she asked to cheers in the debate hall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
