Since he's 6-foot-7, most of the people in the crowd had to look up to greet him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Union members here support Wiener. As a supervisor, he’s widely considered to be a pragmatic lawmaker with a relentless work ethic. His stances include building more housing in San Francisco and helping residents get access to health care -- priorities he says he would bring to the state Senate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It is a passion for me to make sure we have a fair playing field where we can afford health care.

He hopes to extend the Central Subway and create a second Transbay Tube to keep up with the area’s population growth.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The more I’ve worked on these issues locally and regionally, the more I’ve seen what a critical role the state Legislature and the governor play. The state doesn’t do enough,” Wiener said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wiener is also known for confronting controversial issues. In 2012 he authored a bill to ban public nudity throughout San Francisco. Critics said it showed he's more conservative than his constituents and out of touch with the city’s liberal views on self-expression.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So far, Wiener's campaign has raised more than twice as much money as his opponent's. He has also landed big endorsements, including Leno, the state Democratic Party and Dianne Feinstein in the U.S. Senate.

Several dozen Asian-American seniors stood in the park doing tai chi. Others sat on benches speaking Cantonese as Kim, who is Korean-American, made the rounds, introducing herself and describing her campaign values.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kim represents District 6, which runs from the Tenderloin to South Beach and includes the poorest and wealthiest ZIP codes in the city. In this stratified region, Kim is familiar with income inequality.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It used to be a talk about the divide between the rich and the poor,\" she said, \"but we’re really now talking about a divide between the ultrawealthy and everybody else.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kim got her start in the Green Party but became a Democrat in 2008. She was the president of the San Francisco Board of Education and was elected to the Board of Supervisors in 2010.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I completely fell in love with the work of legislating,\" she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Today, she is known as an aggressive supporter of increased affordable housing in San Francisco. She says she'd like to see more money spent on schools and less on incarceration, which is why she was against a new San Francisco jail.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of Kim’s most radical ideas in her campaign has been to make City College free for all San Francisco residents, a plan that would be paid for by a property tax on buildings worth over $5 million.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"rCKxyMNgNlM87kkinfxKjmoQej2I12Kb\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She supports laws to increase police accountability and last week \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2016/05/11/three-s-f-supervisors-say-its-time-to-search-for-new-police-chief\" target=\"_blank\">became the first member of the Board of Supervisors to call for the police chief to be replaced\u003c/a>, following a series of fatal officer-involved shootings and accusations of bias in the department.

But while Wiener and other supervisors voted to remove the sheriff, Kim voted to reinstate him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Under the law, I could not find a reason to remove the sheriff from office, based on what our City Charter said. It would have been much easier for me politically to say that I am opposed to domestic violence and I'm going to vote to remove the sheriff, but I didn’t do that,\" she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"U1Rna4SbEFOTkTDg2p5iJkxYBr1TLaLd\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A lighting rod in the race between Kim and Wiener has been homelessness in the Bay Area. The issue erupted in February when Super Bowl 50 party organizers wanted to do something about homeless residents in downtown San Francisco.

The candidates sparred over the issue during a recent debate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"When we don’t allow people to sleep in our parks or on vacant streets, we're just moving them in front of our doorsteps,\" Kim said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wiener opposes the law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This law would make it 100 percent legal to pitch a tent on the sidewalk, and the city would not be able to do anything about it,\" he responded.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Political analysts call the choice between the Democrats an ideological one: Kim, the fiery progressive, motivated by social activism, or Wiener, the practical moderate, known as a consensus builder.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With both candidates likely to continue on past the June 7 primary, District 11 voters will have another five months to figure out whose side they're on.\u003c/p>\n\n",

He has also landed big endorsements, including Leno, the state Democratic Party and Dianne Feinstein in the U.S. Senate.

Several dozen Asian-American seniors stood in the park doing tai chi. Others sat on benches speaking Cantonese as Kim, who is Korean-American, made the rounds, introducing herself and describing her campaign values.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kim represents District 6, which runs from the Tenderloin to South Beach and includes the poorest and wealthiest ZIP codes in the city. In this stratified region, Kim is familiar with income inequality.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It used to be a talk about the divide between the rich and the poor,\" she said, \"but we’re really now talking about a divide between the ultrawealthy and everybody else.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kim got her start in the Green Party but became a Democrat in 2008. She was the president of the San Francisco Board of Education and was elected to the Board of Supervisors in 2010.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I completely fell in love with the work of legislating,\" she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Today, she is known as an aggressive supporter of increased affordable housing in San Francisco. She says she'd like to see more money spent on schools and less on incarceration, which is why she was against a new San Francisco jail.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of Kim’s most radical ideas in her campaign has been to make City College free for all San Francisco residents, a plan that would be paid for by a property tax on buildings worth over $5 million.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She supports laws to increase police accountability and last week \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2016/05/11/three-s-f-supervisors-say-its-time-to-search-for-new-police-chief\" target=\"_blank\">became the first member of the Board of Supervisors to call for the police chief to be replaced\u003c/a>, following a series of fatal officer-involved shootings and accusations of bias in the department.

But while Wiener and other supervisors voted to remove the sheriff, Kim voted to reinstate him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Under the law, I could not find a reason to remove the sheriff from office, based on what our City Charter said. It would have been much easier for me politically to say that I am opposed to domestic violence and I'm going to vote to remove the sheriff, but I didn’t do that,\" she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A lighting rod in the race between Kim and Wiener has been homelessness in the Bay Area.

The candidates sparred over the issue during a recent debate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"When we don’t allow people to sleep in our parks or on vacant streets, we're just moving them in front of our doorsteps,\" Kim said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wiener opposes the law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This law would make it 100 percent legal to pitch a tent on the sidewalk, and the city would not be able to do anything about it,\" he responded.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Political analysts call the choice between the Democrats an ideological one: Kim, the fiery progressive, motivated by social activism, or Wiener, the practical moderate, known as a consensus builder.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cp>Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders kicked off his final push to win the California primary with a bold prediction during a rally in Carson on Tuesday night.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think we are going to win here in California,” Sanders told a crowd of more than 8,000 at the Tennis Stadium inside the StubHub Center.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Sanders said the only way to victory is with a “huge” turnout of his supporters. “Let this great state show the world that you are prepared to help lead our nation into the political revolution.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If Sanders does pull off a California victory, it would be an upset: a Field Poll last month showed him trailing Hillary Clinton by 6 percentage points. The primary is June 7.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Sanders campaign hopes to marshal resources from around the region. Katherine Sprague of Phoenix intends to spend the next two weeks campaigning for Sanders in Los Angeles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I'm doing a Bernie Journey,\" she said as she waited for the rally to begin. \"We have a whole caravan of Arizona State University students coming.

Clinton declared victory in Kentucky in a tight race.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sanders refused to ease up on Clinton, who holds a near-insurmountable lead in delegates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"FWDwPb9wig6yq0kF9PPPiyRzov1y56tS\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The self-described Democratic socialist highlighted differences over trade policies and the minimum wage, and took Clinton to task for taking money from people and institutions tied to Wall Street.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Our job is to take on Wall Street, not take their money,” he said to a roaring crowd. “I am tired of the greed of Wall Street. We need a new moral compass.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Clinton has said she acts independently of Wall Street.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sanders also called on party leaders to be more open to his ideas. “I say to the leadership of the Democratic Party, 'Open the doors. Let the people in.' ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Donald Trump was also a target. He chastised the presumptive Republican nominee for wanting to prohibit Muslims from entering the U.S. and for his refusal to rule out the use of nuclear weapons against the Islamic State.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We will not accept a president who recklessly talks about using nuclear weapons,” Sanders said as the crowd booed at the mention of Trump.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The rally attracted Sanders supporters from around Southern California. Many tended to be younger.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/StoltzeFrankly/status/732766201349210112\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sabrina Rios, 30, of Highland Park, sported a T-shirt that read: “Vato Loco Bernie Sanders.” Vato loco means crazy dude in Spanish – in a “good way,” Rios said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I work full time. I am a single mom.

It’s in the cafeteria of the local elementary school, where a banner on the wall reads a bit like a political slogan -- \u003cem>Every Day, In Every Way, We Get Better\u003c/em>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As people wander in, Jim Cox talks to one of the candidates about what it’s like to be disabled in a rural mountainous region.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In spite of the fact we’re in the mountains, it’s actually pretty accessible and we actually get out a lot,” Cox tells the candidate. “And you’ll find us doing an amazing number of things.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Cox says there are issues with the great outdoors -- duck hunting, for one. On the one hand, the county has done a good job making duck hunting blinds accessible. But actually getting to those duck blinds can be a challenge.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">By law, polling places must provide an accessible voting machine. But if there’s just one and it breaks down, it takes time to fix it.\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>“Some of the duck blinds, you know, you have the wheelchair-accessible blinds and yet the roads to those blinds are blocked off,\" says Cox. \"How am I supposed to get there if I can’t push my wheelchair there?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sometimes the dirt roads are closed off with a gate, he says -- and if you have mobility issues, you can’t just get out and open it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Almost 40 years ago, Cox broke his back in a car accident. He was partially paralyzed, and eventually his right leg had to be amputated. He wears a prosthetic and sometimes uses a wheelchair, especially if he’s in Sacramento engaging politicians.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“So they have an idea that we’re out here and we’re not just a forgotten community,” Cox says. “Believe it or not, there are people who would push people who are disabled into the closet and lock the door.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Various Barriers to Voter Turnout\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California doesn’t have specific voter statistics for people with disabilities.

But the big gap is in voter turnout – about 6 percent lower than for people without disabilities. Advocates like Cox say there are lots of reasons for this -- apathy, feeling left out of the conversation, physical barriers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Sometimes it’s the issue of the voting machines themselves,” says Cox, who volunteers with Resources for Independence Central Valley.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10958597\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-10958597\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/05/JimAndBecky-800x973.jpg\" alt=\"Jim and Becky Cox volunteer with Resources for Independence Central Valley.\" width=\"800\" height=\"973\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/05/JimAndBecky-800x973.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/05/JimAndBecky-400x487.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/05/JimAndBecky.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/05/JimAndBecky-1180x1436.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/05/JimAndBecky-960x1168.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Jim and Becky Cox volunteer with Resources for Independence Central Valley. \u003ccite>(Alice Daniel/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>By law, polling places must provide an accessible voting machine.

In Fresno, volunteers will go door to door.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When it comes to having a volunteer force that’s disabled, there are barriers to mobility in walking up to someone’s house. What’s interesting about Fresno and the area near the independent living center is there are these nice little postwar homes level and flat to the street,” Jackson says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"Rm4UtVVYacPTcL2wtY7hD1skFb7zjdco\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jim Cox is part of that Fresno effort.

However, a recent \u003ca href=\"http://smlr.rutgers.edu/research-centers/disability-and-voter-turnout\">study\u003c/a> from Rutgers University found that voter registration nationwide is about 2.3 percent lower for the disabled.

County is doing it right by designing a one-size-fits-all voting machine for everyone.

In Fresno, volunteers will go door to door.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When it comes to having a volunteer force that’s disabled, there are barriers to mobility in walking up to someone’s house. What’s interesting about Fresno and the area near the independent living center is there are these nice little postwar homes level and flat to the street,” Jackson says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jim Cox is part of that Fresno effort.

So it’s easy for them to say, ‘We should use this money to pay for a librarian.’ But, realistically, will that librarian help English learners more than a language specialist?” Ybarra asks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In fact, that concern has reached a boiling point in two California school districts — \u003ca href=\"https://www.aclusocal.org/aclu-socal-files-lawsuit-over-misappropriated-education-funds/\">Los Angeles\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"http://edsource.org/2016/complaint-says-district-must-revise-lcap-in-passing-big-pay-raise/562315\">West Contra Costa\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Public interest law groups, including the \u003ca href=\"https://www.aclusocal.org/\">ACLU SoCal\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"http://www.publicadvocates.org/\">Public Advocates\u003c/a>, insist those districts are depriving English language learners of state funds that should be directed to their education.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>English Learners Face Difficult Transition\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At Oak Ridge, more English learners are transitioning to mainstream classes.

On Tuesday, June 7 the Golden State hosts its presidential primary, one of the last state's to participate in a nominating process that started way back in February.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"wp-more-tag mce-wp-more\" title=\"Read more...\" data-wp-more=\"more\" data-wp-more-text=\"\" data-mce-placeholder=\"1\">But with so much attention on the presidential race, it's easy to overlook some of the high stakes local and statewide contests on Tuesday's ballot, including a heated U.S. Senate race to replace Barbara Boxer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And that's where the voting process gets confusing, namely because California's statewide contests follow a different set of rules from its presidential primary.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>First, the presidential primary ...\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>California's presidential primary is known as a \"modified closed system.\" If you're registered with a particular political party, you can only vote for candidates in that party (i.e. registered Democrats can only choose between Hillary Clinton or Bernie Sanders).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"TtZz7kD2p1wZEdYkSGObv3h49eVoCszE\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But in California, nearly \u003ca href=\"http://www.ppic.org/main/publication_show.asp?i=526\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">25 percent of all registered voters\u003c/a> are not affiliated with any party (known as \"No Party Preference\" voters). These voters receive a default non-partisan ballot that does not list any presidential candidates.
