As \u003cem>The California Report's\u003c/em> Central Valley Bureau Chief based in Fresno for nearly a dozen years, Sasha brought the lives and concerns of rural Californians to listeners around the state. Her reporting helped expose the hidden price immigrant women janitors and farmworkers may pay to keep their jobs: sexual assault at work. It inspired two new California laws to protect them from sexual harassment. She was a key member of the reporting team for the Frontline film \u003cem>Rape on the Night Shift, \u003c/em>which was nominated for two national Emmys. Sasha has also won a national Edward R. Murrow and a national PRNDI award for investigative reporting, as well as multiple prizes from the Society for Professional Journalists. Sasha is a proud alum of the UC Berkeley Graduate School of Journalism and Brown University and a member of the South Asian Journalists Association.",

For goodness sake,” said Honda, a Japanese-American former schoolteacher. “I’m not the one who paid for memberships to load up on Democratic clubs. … We’ll see how much of an impact his negative campaign, his innuendos and the impressions he’s trying to leave on people work out. I don’t think they will work.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But during this campaign Khanna plans to hit Honda hard on the House ethics probe every chance he gets. There are allegations that Honda mixed campaign and government business and gave improper favors, like fast-tracking visas, to top donors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I do think it [the investigation] disqualifies Mike Honda from running. It’s my honest opinion,” said Khanna. “It represents cronyism, it represents giving favors to donors and it’s wrong. And I will speak out about that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Honda said there’s an internal House process by which committee members will determine if a House rule was violated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Violating an ethics rule is not breaking a law,” said Honda. “There is not a criminal investigation.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The timing of the ethics committee’s decision is critical, said Larry Gerston, a political science professor emeritus at San Jose State University.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If the committee acts fairly soon, Honda could probably go a long way with putting it behind him,” said Gerston. “But if the committee acts in a negative way — let’s say in September or October — that could be a factor in this race.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the meantime, Khanna is portraying Honda “as everything wrong with politics” and himself as the ultimate Washington and Democratic Party outsider.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I take no PAC [political action committee] money,” said Khanna.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But he may want to brush up on who is serving in Congress. At the California Democratic Convention in San Jose last weekend, he bumped into Maxine Waters, the veteran Los Angeles congresswoman and former chair of the Congressional Black Caucus. Khanna introduced himself and asked Waters what she’s running for.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Re-election in Los Angeles,” said Waters, who was also once investigated for violating House ethics rules in 2010 and later exonerated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10885479\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-10885479\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/03/HondaSpeaks-800x578.jpg\" alt=\"Mike Honda talks with supporters from his district after getting the Democratic Party’s endorsement.\" width=\"800\" height=\"578\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/03/HondaSpeaks-800x578.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/03/HondaSpeaks-400x289.jpg 400w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/03/HondaSpeaks.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/03/HondaSpeaks-1180x852.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/03/HondaSpeaks-960x693.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Mike Honda talks with supporters from his district after getting the Democratic Party’s endorsement. \u003ccite>(Beth Willon/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>This race is very much a generational contrast between two Democrats who really don’t differ much on the issues, said Gerston.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The senior man who has been there, done that, because he has so much experience. The young guy who is perhaps a little bit more brazen, going to break a few things along the way, and isn’t afraid to.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Khanna is counting on support from younger voters who might not know or care about Honda’s history. But that might not be an adequate strategy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democratic activist Jay Cheng, 27, grew up in Cupertino and said he can count on Honda, who is a reliable vote on many issues.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“For millennial Democrats who have grown up in the district, we know who has been there for us,” said Cheng.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But at the convention, Khanna’s field director, Michael Ambler, said he had no problem signing up young volunteers from the district with no connection to Honda.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“A lot of volunteers are in college and are worrying about how they are going to pay off their college loans,” said Ambler.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The 17th Congressional District — which includes Fremont, Sunnyvale, Cupertino, Newark, Milpitas, Santa Clara and North San Jose — is home to tech giants Tesla, Google, Apple, Cisco and others. It also has a large population of voters from India, China, the Philippines, Japan, Vietnam and Pakistan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the Asian Pacific Islander Caucus at the convention, Khanna said tech companies in the district need to reflect the diversity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=”QTzV4eaXdYx06AhRVYYr8tO0kxkeu9og”]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If you go into the halls of Facebook, Google, Tesla, there are not enough Filipino-Americans, there are not enough African-Americans, there are not enough Latino-Americans,” said Khanna.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Honda has a compelling life story many immigrants can relate to. During World War II, he and his family were put in an internment camp with other Americans of Japanese descent. He later became a champion of civil rights.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After eight terms in the House, Honda is reintroducing himself to voters to remind them where he came from.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When people start to listen to who you are, your history and background, they say, ‘That sounds like me.’ So there’s a connection and it’s really important, and so is authenticity,” said Honda.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Aisha Wahab, an Afghan-American voter who works in the district, said there’s one issue that cuts across all ethnic and racial groups.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“A chance to grow, a chance to survive, a chance to thrive. And I think that’s what this race is about. Our future, not our past,” said Wahab.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But just how much voters get to hear the candidates debate the issues in coming months remains to be seen. The race has become such a slugfest that Democratic San Jose City Councilman Pierluigi Oliverio recently decided to run.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s too much mudslinging already,” said Oliverio. “I’ll talk about the issues.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a sign of how nasty this campaign may be, unsigned hit pieces were distributed at the convention portraying Khanna as a Republican puppet. The Honda campaign denies having any connection to it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under California’s primary rules, the top two finishers in the June election will advance. That means Khanna and Honda are likely to meet up again in the November election.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>California Counts is a collaboration of KPBS, KPCC, KQED and Capital Public Radio to report on the 2016 election.

For the 74-year-old veteran congressman — who is in the throes of a\u003ca href=\"https://ethics.house.gov/\"> serious House Ethics Committee \u003c/a>investigation — this is a rematch of a bitter race Khanna narrowly lost two years ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Honda quickly brushed off Khanna’s accusations that the party rules are rigged.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10885476\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-10885476\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/03/KhannaSpeaking-800x659.jpg\" alt=\"Congressman Mike Honda (seated, red tie) listens to opponent Ro Khanna call the state Democratic Party endorsement process rigged.\" width=\"800\" height=\"659\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/03/KhannaSpeaking-800x659.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/03/KhannaSpeaking-400x330.jpg 400w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/03/KhannaSpeaking.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/03/KhannaSpeaking-1180x972.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/03/KhannaSpeaking-960x791.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Congressman Mike Honda (seated, red tie) listens to opponent Ro Khanna call the state Democratic Party endorsement process rigged. \u003ccite>(Beth Willon/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“Oh come on. For goodness sake,” said Honda, a Japanese-American former schoolteacher. “I’m not the one who paid for memberships to load up on Democratic clubs. … We’ll see how much of an impact his negative campaign, his innuendos and the impressions he’s trying to leave on people work out. I don’t think they will work.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But during this campaign Khanna plans to hit Honda hard on the House ethics probe every chance he gets. There are allegations that Honda mixed campaign and government business and gave improper favors, like fast-tracking visas, to top donors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I do think it [the investigation] disqualifies Mike Honda from running. It’s my honest opinion,” said Khanna. “It represents cronyism, it represents giving favors to donors and it’s wrong. And I will speak out about that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Honda said there’s an internal House process by which committee members will determine if a House rule was violated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Violating an ethics rule is not breaking a law,” said Honda. “There is not a criminal investigation.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The timing of the ethics committee’s decision is critical, said Larry Gerston, a political science professor emeritus at San Jose State University.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If the committee acts fairly soon, Honda could probably go a long way with putting it behind him,” said Gerston. “But if the committee acts in a negative way — let’s say in September or October — that could be a factor in this race.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the meantime, Khanna is portraying Honda “as everything wrong with politics” and himself as the ultimate Washington and Democratic Party outsider.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I take no PAC [political action committee] money,” said Khanna.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But he may want to brush up on who is serving in Congress. At the California Democratic Convention in San Jose last weekend, he bumped into Maxine Waters, the veteran Los Angeles congresswoman and former chair of the Congressional Black Caucus. Khanna introduced himself and asked Waters what she’s running for.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Re-election in Los Angeles,” said Waters, who was also once investigated for violating House ethics rules in 2010 and later exonerated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10885479\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-10885479\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/03/HondaSpeaks-800x578.jpg\" alt=\"Mike Honda talks with supporters from his district after getting the Democratic Party’s endorsement.\" width=\"800\" height=\"578\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/03/HondaSpeaks-800x578.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/03/HondaSpeaks-400x289.jpg 400w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/03/HondaSpeaks.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/03/HondaSpeaks-1180x852.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/03/HondaSpeaks-960x693.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Mike Honda talks with supporters from his district after getting the Democratic Party’s endorsement. \u003ccite>(Beth Willon/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>This race is very much a generational contrast between two Democrats who really don’t differ much on the issues, said Gerston.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The senior man who has been there, done that, because he has so much experience. The young guy who is perhaps a little bit more brazen, going to break a few things along the way, and isn’t afraid to.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Khanna is counting on support from younger voters who might not know or care about Honda’s history. But that might not be an adequate strategy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democratic activist Jay Cheng, 27, grew up in Cupertino and said he can count on Honda, who is a reliable vote on many issues.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“For millennial Democrats who have grown up in the district, we know who has been there for us,” said Cheng.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But at the convention, Khanna’s field director, Michael Ambler, said he had no problem signing up young volunteers from the district with no connection to Honda.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“A lot of volunteers are in college and are worrying about how they are going to pay off their college loans,” said Ambler.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The 17th Congressional District — which includes Fremont, Sunnyvale, Cupertino, Newark, Milpitas, Santa Clara and North San Jose — is home to tech giants Tesla, Google, Apple, Cisco and others. It also has a large population of voters from India, China, the Philippines, Japan, Vietnam and Pakistan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the Asian Pacific Islander Caucus at the convention, Khanna said tech companies in the district need to reflect the diversity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If you go into the halls of Facebook, Google, Tesla, there are not enough Filipino-Americans, there are not enough African-Americans, there are not enough Latino-Americans,” said Khanna.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Honda has a compelling life story many immigrants can relate to. During World War II, he and his family were put in an internment camp with other Americans of Japanese descent. He later became a champion of civil rights.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After eight terms in the House, Honda is reintroducing himself to voters to remind them where he came from.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When people start to listen to who you are, your history and background, they say, ‘That sounds like me.’ So there’s a connection and it’s really important, and so is authenticity,” said Honda.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Aisha Wahab, an Afghan-American voter who works in the district, said there’s one issue that cuts across all ethnic and racial groups.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“A chance to grow, a chance to survive, a chance to thrive. And I think that’s what this race is about. Our future, not our past,” said Wahab.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But just how much voters get to hear the candidates debate the issues in coming months remains to be seen. The race has become such a slugfest that Democratic San Jose City Councilman Pierluigi Oliverio recently decided to run.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s too much mudslinging already,” said Oliverio. “I’ll talk about the issues.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a sign of how nasty this campaign may be, unsigned hit pieces were distributed at the convention portraying Khanna as a Republican puppet. The Honda campaign denies having any connection to it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under California’s primary rules, the top two finishers in the June election will advance. That means Khanna and Honda are likely to meet up again in the November election.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>California Counts is a collaboration of KPBS, KPCC, KQED and Capital Public Radio to report on the 2016 election.

By that, she means \"being able to get a job that pays enough to pay the rent or pay the house payment or get the car insurance or whatever, feed your family,\" she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Young is also a Republican and an active voter. But unlike many of the GOP women in the Republican club, Young is still working. She’s an aide at a local school district, and said Santa Clarita isn’t producing enough well-paying jobs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You can work at Foster’s Freeze or you can work at the bowling alley, but that’s obviously not enough to survive on,\" she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The median household income here is about $81,500, far higher than California's average. Still, earnings haven’t recovered enough to reach pre-recession levels.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s a particular concern for young people just entering the job market, but also for Santa Clarita’s growing minority population, a majority of them Latinos.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Lawsuit Brings Key Change\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This November, when Santa Clarita voters participate in the presidential election, they'll also have other key choices to make.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10884201\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/03/120223-full.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-10884201\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-10884201\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/03/120223-full-800x534.jpg\" alt=\"Santa Clarita voters will get to vote on City Council races in November as a result of a Voter Rights Act lawsuit settlement.\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/03/120223-full-800x534.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/03/120223-full-400x267.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/03/120223-full-960x640.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/03/120223-full.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Santa Clarita voters will get to vote on City Council races in November as a result of a Voter Rights Act lawsuit settlement. \u003ccite>(Mary Plummer/KPCC)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Due to a recent Voting Rights Act lawsuit claiming the votes of Latinos were being diluted in the city's election, a legal settlement in the case is moving Santa Clarita’s City Council balloting from April to November.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The change is expected to drastically impact the dynamics of the City Council race by drawing in many more voters.

During the most recent city election in April 2014, just 14 percent of registered voters cast a ballot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Smyth said the date change will diminish the power of a small group of city voters who have been active in City Hall elections.

The vote will be taken Saturday, with the results announced that night.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[soundcloud url=\"https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/249101731\" params=\"color=ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false\" width=\"100%\" height=\"166\" iframe=\"true\" /]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's tough to win that party endorsement in contested primaries with no incumbent running, as in this race to fill Sen. Barbara Boxer's seat. It'll take 60 percent-plus-one votes to claim the official party nod. Making it especially tough is that delegates can also vote \"no endorsement.\" But it's also an expectations game.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nathan Click, spokesman for Kamala Harris' campaign, downplayed her chances, noting how rare it is for Democratic candidates in contested races to win the endorsement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"XnR2Hk3Yewgh45O0CV2Dnykg6lMPSvRF\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The last time it happened was 2010,\" Click said, referring to insurance commissioner candidate \u003ca href=\"http://www.insurance.ca.gov/0500-about-us/01-commissioner/\" target=\"_blank\">Dave Jones\u003c/a>, who managed to win the endorsement over state Assemblyman Hector De La Torre from Los Angeles. Jones went on to easily win the primary before defeating the Republican candidate, Mike Villines. Jones has already jumped into the 2018 race for attorney general. He may have the inside track to be appointed attorney general by Gov. Jerry Brown, if Harris wins the Senate race in November.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"In 2010, Gavin Newsom didn't get it in his race for lieutenant governor and (Assembly speaker) John Pérez didn't get either,\" Click added. Both Newsom and Pérez were facing Democratic primary opponents with strong enough blocks of support to prevent them from getting that 60 percent-plus-one threshold.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite the expectations game, both Harris and Sanchez have been traveling the state in recent weeks, trying hard to lock down support from delegates all over California. Harris, who leads Sanchez in fundraising and polling, is the only one with a reasonable chance of winning the endorsement. Blocking her would be considered a victory for Sanchez, who has \u003ca href=\"http://www.latimes.com/local/politics/la-me-pc-loretta-sanchez-comment-muslims-20151211-story.html\" target=\"_blank\">angered Muslims\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"http://www.sacbee.com/news/politics-government/capitol-alert/article21200154.html\" target=\"_blank\">Native Americans\u003c/a> in the past few months with comments many regarded as insensitive at best.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other weekend highlights include a Saturday afternoon speech by Vice President Joe Biden, a favorite among rank-and-file Democrats, who see him as a \"regular Joe\" champion of the working class. Biden is sure to address the boiling debate in Washington over President Obama's pending nomination to fill the seat of the late Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia. After that he's off to Los Angeles and the Oscars, where he'll introduce Lady Gaga, who will perform \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZmWBrN7QV6Y&noredirect=1\" target=\"_blank\">\"Til It Happens to You,\"\u003c/a> nominated as Best Original Song from the documentary \"The Hunting Ground\" about sexual assaults on campus.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There will be other endorsement skirmishes too, notably embattled San Jose congressman Mike Honda, who is hoping for a boost in his re-election rematch with Silicon Valley attorney Ro Khanna. Honda failed to win an early endorsement from the party, which might be a bit spooked by a House ethics investigation into Honda's fundraising.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10879158\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-10879158\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/02/RS12583_KhannaHonda-800x450.jpg\" alt=\"Ro Khanna (L) and Mike Honda\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/02/RS12583_KhannaHonda.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/02/RS12583_KhannaHonda-400x225.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Ro Khanna (L) and Mike Honda \u003ccite>(Courtesy Ro Khanna, Mark Wilson/Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Beyond that, retiring Sen. Barbara Boxer, 75, will take a final victory lap with a speech on Saturday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The convention will also showcase the next generation of Democratic Party leaders, many of whom have been frozen in place by party elders, including Jerry Brown who is 77 years old, Dianne Feinstein, 82, and Rep. Nancy Pelosi, 75.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lt. Gov. Newsom is raising his profile -- and lots of campaign cash -- in his bid to succeed Jerry Brown as governor. Others making noise about running in 2018 include state Treasurer \u003ca href=\"http://www.treasurer.ca.gov/bio.asp\" target=\"_blank\">John Chiang\u003c/a>, billionaire environmental activist Tom Steyer and former Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Feinstein, who is the oldest member of the U.S. Senate, hasn't indicated whether she'll run for re-election in 2018. Already a long list of potential successors is being floated, including Secretary of State Alex Padilla. Also attending will be Los Angeles congressman Xavier Becerra, whose term as House Democratic Party Chair expires this year. Becerra, who turned down an offer to be President Obama's trade representative, has been campaigning hard for Hillary Clinton and is even mentioned as a possible running mate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This weekend's Democratic Convention is a chance for all of them to show the party faithful what they've got, in hopes that opportunities to move up the political ladder will be opening soon.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>NOTE: This story was corrected to say that Democrat Dave Jones defeated Republican Mike Villines in the 2010 election for California Insurance Commissioner. The original article incorrectly stated that Jones defeated Steve Poizner. Poizner was the incumbent Insurance Commissioner that year but did not run for re-election.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Making it especially tough is that delegates can also vote \"no endorsement.\" But it's also an expectations game.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nathan Click, spokesman for Kamala Harris' campaign, downplayed her chances, noting how rare it is for Democratic candidates in contested races to win the endorsement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Jones went on to easily win the primary before defeating the Republican candidate, Mike Villines. Jones has already jumped into the 2018 race for attorney general. He may have the inside track to be appointed attorney general by Gov. Jerry Brown, if Harris wins the Senate race in November.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"In 2010, Gavin Newsom didn't get it in his race for lieutenant governor and (Assembly speaker) John Pérez didn't get either,\" Click added. Both Newsom and Pérez were facing Democratic primary opponents with strong enough blocks of support to prevent them from getting that 60 percent-plus-one threshold.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite the expectations game, both Harris and Sanchez have been traveling the state in recent weeks, trying hard to lock down support from delegates all over California. Harris, who leads Sanchez in fundraising and polling, is the only one with a reasonable chance of winning the endorsement. Blocking her would be considered a victory for Sanchez, who has \u003ca href=\"http://www.latimes.com/local/politics/la-me-pc-loretta-sanchez-comment-muslims-20151211-story.html\" target=\"_blank\">angered Muslims\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"http://www.sacbee.com/news/politics-government/capitol-alert/article21200154.html\" target=\"_blank\">Native Americans\u003c/a> in the past few months with comments many regarded as insensitive at best.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other weekend highlights include a Saturday afternoon speech by Vice President Joe Biden, a favorite among rank-and-file Democrats, who see him as a \"regular Joe\" champion of the working class. Biden is sure to address the boiling debate in Washington over President Obama's pending nomination to fill the seat of the late Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia. After that he's off to Los Angeles and the Oscars, where he'll introduce Lady Gaga, who will perform \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZmWBrN7QV6Y&noredirect=1\" target=\"_blank\">\"Til It Happens to You,\"\u003c/a> nominated as Best Original Song from the documentary \"The Hunting Ground\" about sexual assaults on campus.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There will be other endorsement skirmishes too, notably embattled San Jose congressman Mike Honda, who is hoping for a boost in his re-election rematch with Silicon Valley attorney Ro Khanna. Honda failed to win an early endorsement from the party, which might be a bit spooked by a House ethics investigation into Honda's fundraising.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10879158\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-10879158\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/02/RS12583_KhannaHonda-800x450.jpg\" alt=\"Ro Khanna (L) and Mike Honda\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/02/RS12583_KhannaHonda.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/02/RS12583_KhannaHonda-400x225.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Ro Khanna (L) and Mike Honda \u003ccite>(Courtesy Ro Khanna, Mark Wilson/Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Beyond that, retiring Sen. Barbara Boxer, 75, will take a final victory lap with a speech on Saturday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The convention will also showcase the next generation of Democratic Party leaders, many of whom have been frozen in place by party elders, including Jerry Brown who is 77 years old, Dianne Feinstein, 82, and Rep. Nancy Pelosi, 75.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lt. Gov. Newsom is raising his profile -- and lots of campaign cash -- in his bid to succeed Jerry Brown as governor. Others making noise about running in 2018 include state Treasurer \u003ca href=\"http://www.treasurer.ca.gov/bio.asp\" target=\"_blank\">John Chiang\u003c/a>, billionaire environmental activist Tom Steyer and former Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Feinstein, who is the oldest member of the U.S. Senate, hasn't indicated whether she'll run for re-election in 2018. Already a long list of potential successors is being floated, including Secretary of State Alex Padilla. Also attending will be Los Angeles congressman Xavier Becerra, whose term as House Democratic Party Chair expires this year. Becerra, who turned down an offer to be President Obama's trade representative, has been campaigning hard for Hillary Clinton and is even mentioned as a possible running mate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This weekend's Democratic Convention is a chance for all of them to show the party faithful what they've got, in hopes that opportunities to move up the political ladder will be opening soon.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>NOTE: This story was corrected to say that Democrat Dave Jones defeated Republican Mike Villines in the 2010 election for California Insurance Commissioner. The original article incorrectly stated that Jones defeated Steve Poizner. Poizner was the incumbent Insurance Commissioner that year but did not run for re-election.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

He’s lived there for almost nine years, and his mother has been there 15 years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dennehy, who has hosted fundraisers for local political candidates and attended debates at a church five blocks from his home, said voting is a tradition for most of his neighbors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s a neighborhood that embraces participation at every level,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The 50-year-old is pretty sure he’s never missed an election since he turned 18 and could vote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Honestly, I was raised that way,” he said. “I went to vote with my parents, and so that behavior was modeled.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kensington has a bustling commercial area with an \u003ca href=\"http://stehlyfarmsmarket.com/\">organic grocery store\u003c/a> and lots of local shops and restaurants. Every afternoon and evening, it’s filled with residents walking to do errands or get dinner, strolling with their dogs or taking their kids to the park.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dennehy said the opportunity to interact with neighbors attracts people to Kensington who want to be involved in their community. It also may help to explain why they get out to vote, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Prominent politicians live there, too. Among them: \u003ca href=\"https://susandavis.house.gov/\">Democratic Rep.

Its frenetic center is filled with people from all over the world catching buses to service industry jobs or walking to one of the dozens of Vietnamese and East African supermarkets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of them is Mohamud Osman, whose family is from Somalia.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He turned 18 last year and said he'll be voting for the first time in June.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Voting is a way for us people to have a voice — and not just voting for presidency (or) laws like legalize this, legalize that,” Osman said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He’s eager to vote for his next City Council member and on quality-of-life issues, including raising the minimum wage. He registered to vote late last year just so he could sign a petition to get the measure on the ballot. A \u003ca href=\"http://www.kpbs.org/news/2014/oct/20/city-council-decide-whats-next-san-diego-minimum-w/\">San Diego minimum wage initiative\u003c/a> will be on the June ballot, and a statewide measure could be on the November ballot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While Osman is adamant about having a voice in the election, he represents in part why turnout in his neighborhood dips as low as 14 percent in some elections.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One-third of Teralta residents aren’t old enough to vote, undercutting its civic power.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2012, the community was redistricted to give Latinos a stronger voice on the San Diego City Council. The new lines netted a population that was half Latino. But age \u003ca href=\"http://www.voiceofsandiego.org/city-heights/what-sds-new-political-lines-would-look-like/\">slashed that voting bloc\u003c/a> nearly in half, and the district re-elected Councilwoman Marti Emerald, who is white and a Democrat.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s likely Kensington carried much of Emerald’s win. Nearly 90 percent of residents there are above the voting age.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Osman’s family is also representative of many households in his neighborhood, in that his mom and siblings are among the nearly half of Teralta residents born outside the United States. Many can’t vote because they’re \u003ca href=\"http://www.kpbs.org/news/2015/feb/17/study-sheds-light-mid-citys-unauthorized-and-unins/\">living in the country illegally\u003c/a> or can't afford the $680 processing fee to become U.S. citizens.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Osman said most of the immigrants and refugees in Teralta are like his mom -- too busy trying to build a new life to establish that tradition of voting the way Kensington resident Dennehy’s mother did.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We don't pay attention to a lot of things because we want to know what can we do to have more income,” Osman said. His dad was the sole breadwinner in the family, but he died seven months ago from complications of pneumonia. He worked as a security guard.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sometimes, Osman said, it’s discouraging to know that Kensington voters are deciding the elections for Teralta voters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It makes me definitely want to vote less in a sense,” Osman said. “But I can’t. I want to set an example for people.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Campaigning Across Neighborhoods\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://tomshepard.com/\">Tom Shepard\u003c/a> is a San Diego political consultant behind many high-profile campaigns for city and county offices. He said Teralta residents shouldn’t be quick to assume candidates for office will skip over their neighborhood to canvass high-turnout Kensington’s manicured streets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It is a realistic concern, but I think one mitigating factor in this election cycle is that we're anticipating a relatively high turnout in the November election as a result of the presidential campaign,” Shepard said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“And if history is any measure — 2008 and 2012 in particular — there will be a significant turnout of voters in City Heights for the November election,” he said. “So candidates that don't have a strategy to connect with those voters in June might find themselves far behind the eight ball when it comes to attracting them come November.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.trilogyprgroup.com/about/xema_jacobson.html\">Xema Jacobson\u003c/a>, who ran Emerald’s successful City Council campaign in 2008, said the key to winning in such divergent communities as Kensington and Teralta is not to ignore the low-turnout area, but just to approach it differently.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“With active voters, you can go in and identify them and follow up with phone calls and that’s it,” she said. “With people who don’t vote all the time, you spend a bit more time with them. It’s not just a phone call, but on Election Day you go knock on their door, ask, ‘Do you need a ride? Do you need child care? Do you need something to get you to the polls?’ ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Longtime Kensington resident Jodi Cleesattle said she understands those pressures her Teralta neighbors feel.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The poorer you are, certainly the more pressing issues you may have on your mind, to where voting or learning about particular candidates is less of a priority,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cleesattle, 47, said just because a wide spread in demographics exists between her neighborhood and Teralta, that doesn't necessarily mean there's a deep political divide between the two neighborhoods.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We all want better schools, safe neighborhoods, streets without potholes, all those same kinds of concerns,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Copyright 2015 KPBS.

He’s lived there for almost nine years, and his mother has been there 15 years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dennehy, who has hosted fundraisers for local political candidates and attended debates at a church five blocks from his home, said voting is a tradition for most of his neighbors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s a neighborhood that embraces participation at every level,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The 50-year-old is pretty sure he’s never missed an election since he turned 18 and could vote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Honestly, I was raised that way,” he said. “I went to vote with my parents, and so that behavior was modeled.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kensington has a bustling commercial area with an \u003ca href=\"http://stehlyfarmsmarket.com/\">organic grocery store\u003c/a> and lots of local shops and restaurants. Every afternoon and evening, it’s filled with residents walking to do errands or get dinner, strolling with their dogs or taking their kids to the park.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dennehy said the opportunity to interact with neighbors attracts people to Kensington who want to be involved in their community. It also may help to explain why they get out to vote, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Prominent politicians live there, too. Among them: \u003ca href=\"https://susandavis.house.gov/\">Democratic Rep. Susan Davis\u003c/a> and former Republican Mayor Jerry Sanders, who is often spotted by neighbors on his daily walks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>In Teralta, Embracing a New Home\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10859538\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/02/CALIFVOTER3_MohamudFriends.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-10859538\">\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-10859538 size-medium\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/02/CALIFVOTER3_MohamudFriends-800x449.jpg\" alt=\"Mohamud Osman and his friends talk about presidential candidate Bernie Sanders's showing in the Iowa caucuses, Feb. 8, 2016.

All four say they plan to vote for Sanders. \u003ccite>(Megan Burks/KPBS)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>As you travel south from Kensington’s cafes and playground, the homes steadily decrease in value and the shops start to sell liquor, not organic produce.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In less than a mile you’ll be in the heart of City Heights’ Teralta neighborhood. Its frenetic center is filled with people from all over the world catching buses to service industry jobs or walking to one of the dozens of Vietnamese and East African supermarkets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of them is Mohamud Osman, whose family is from Somalia.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He turned 18 last year and said he'll be voting for the first time in June.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Voting is a way for us people to have a voice — and not just voting for presidency (or) laws like legalize this, legalize that,” Osman said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He’s eager to vote for his next City Council member and on quality-of-life issues, including raising the minimum wage. He registered to vote late last year just so he could sign a petition to get the measure on the ballot. A \u003ca href=\"http://www.kpbs.org/news/2014/oct/20/city-council-decide-whats-next-san-diego-minimum-w/\">San Diego minimum wage initiative\u003c/a> will be on the June ballot, and a statewide measure could be on the November ballot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While Osman is adamant about having a voice in the election, he represents in part why turnout in his neighborhood dips as low as 14 percent in some elections.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One-third of Teralta residents aren’t old enough to vote, undercutting its civic power.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2012, the community was redistricted to give Latinos a stronger voice on the San Diego City Council. The new lines netted a population that was half Latino. But age \u003ca href=\"http://www.voiceofsandiego.org/city-heights/what-sds-new-political-lines-would-look-like/\">slashed that voting bloc\u003c/a> nearly in half, and the district re-elected Councilwoman Marti Emerald, who is white and a Democrat.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s likely Kensington carried much of Emerald’s win. Nearly 90 percent of residents there are above the voting age.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Osman’s family is also representative of many households in his neighborhood, in that his mom and siblings are among the nearly half of Teralta residents born outside the United States. Many can’t vote because they’re \u003ca href=\"http://www.kpbs.org/news/2015/feb/17/study-sheds-light-mid-citys-unauthorized-and-unins/\">living in the country illegally\u003c/a> or can't afford the $680 processing fee to become U.S. citizens.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Osman said most of the immigrants and refugees in Teralta are like his mom -- too busy trying to build a new life to establish that tradition of voting the way Kensington resident Dennehy’s mother did.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We don't pay attention to a lot of things because we want to know what can we do to have more income,” Osman said. His dad was the sole breadwinner in the family, but he died seven months ago from complications of pneumonia. He worked as a security guard.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sometimes, Osman said, it’s discouraging to know that Kensington voters are deciding the elections for Teralta voters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It makes me definitely want to vote less in a sense,” Osman said. “But I can’t. I want to set an example for people.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Campaigning Across Neighborhoods\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://tomshepard.com/\">Tom Shepard\u003c/a> is a San Diego political consultant behind many high-profile campaigns for city and county offices. He said Teralta residents shouldn’t be quick to assume candidates for office will skip over their neighborhood to canvass high-turnout Kensington’s manicured streets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It is a realistic concern, but I think one mitigating factor in this election cycle is that we're anticipating a relatively high turnout in the November election as a result of the presidential campaign,” Shepard said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“And if history is any measure — 2008 and 2012 in particular — there will be a significant turnout of voters in City Heights for the November election,” he said. “So candidates that don't have a strategy to connect with those voters in June might find themselves far behind the eight ball when it comes to attracting them come November.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.trilogyprgroup.com/about/xema_jacobson.html\">Xema Jacobson\u003c/a>, who ran Emerald’s successful City Council campaign in 2008, said the key to winning in such divergent communities as Kensington and Teralta is not to ignore the low-turnout area, but just to approach it differently.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“With active voters, you can go in and identify them and follow up with phone calls and that’s it,” she said. “With people who don’t vote all the time, you spend a bit more time with them. It’s not just a phone call, but on Election Day you go knock on their door, ask, ‘Do you need a ride? Do you need child care? Do you need something to get you to the polls?’ ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Longtime Kensington resident Jodi Cleesattle said she understands those pressures her Teralta neighbors feel.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The poorer you are, certainly the more pressing issues you may have on your mind, to where voting or learning about particular candidates is less of a priority,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cleesattle, 47, said just because a wide spread in demographics exists between her neighborhood and Teralta, that doesn't necessarily mean there's a deep political divide between the two neighborhoods.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We all want better schools, safe neighborhoods, streets without potholes, all those same kinds of concerns,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Copyright 2015 KPBS.

That’s not citizenship, that’s residency.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Criticizing anti-immigrant, pro-deportation statements from members of his own party, including Donald Trump, Chavez said “children shouldn’t have to worry at night if their father is going to be gone.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As far as citizenship goes, he said “I wouldn’t allow anyone to the front of the line or support amnesty or anything else.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now that he’s withdrawn from the Senate race, Chavez won’t have to deal with that issue. Based on campaign finance \u003ca href=\"http://www.fec.gov/disclosurehs/HSCandDetail.do\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">reports \u003c/a>filed last week with the Federal Election Commission, Chavez was trailing badly in the money race.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His campaign raised $105,035 in 2015, ending the year with just $369 in cash and debts of $42,889.

And that’s called the California experience and dream.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chavez seemed to recoil at the notion of being labeled a “Latino candidate.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I never saw myself as a Latino Marine,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When asked about immigration reform, Chavez took a tortured path before finally saying he’d support a path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“People are saying you need a path to citizenship, and I’m saying it’s a little more complex than that,” Chavez said. “If children are here and their parents have come here because of migration and the drive of jobs, they should be able to be here and be recognized. That’s not citizenship, that’s residency.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Criticizing anti-immigrant, pro-deportation statements from members of his own party, including Donald Trump, Chavez said “children shouldn’t have to worry at night if their father is going to be gone.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As far as citizenship goes, he said “I wouldn’t allow anyone to the front of the line or support amnesty or anything else.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now that he’s withdrawn from the Senate race, Chavez won’t have to deal with that issue. Based on campaign finance \u003ca href=\"http://www.fec.gov/disclosurehs/HSCandDetail.do\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">reports \u003c/a>filed last week with the Federal Election Commission, Chavez was trailing badly in the money race.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His campaign raised $105,035 in 2015, ending the year with just $369 in cash and debts of $42,889.

Jerry Brown approved $24 million in additional funds to reduce the long list of cases. It had grown to more than 20,700 at the time, according to Harris' office. Earlier that year, a Harris aide seemed to suggest that the backlog could be eliminated in a single year, according to \u003ca style=\"text-decoration: none;\" href=\"http://www.sacbee.com/news/politics-government/capitol-alert/article15138524.html\">news reports\u003c/a> from the time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That same year, the attorney general pledged to hire 36 enforcement agents with the money. Two years later, only half as many had been hired due to what Harris' office called \"hiring challenges.\" And while state investigations helped clear nearly 7,000 names off the list, the overall backlog had shrunk by only one-fifth during that time, to about 17,500, according to a \u003ca style=\"text-decoration: none;\" href=\"http://www.oag.ca.gov/sites/all/files/agweb/pdfs/publications/armed-prohib-person-system.pdf\">March 2015 report\u003c/a> by the Attorney General's Office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Republicans in the Legislature \u003ca style=\"text-decoration: none;\" href=\"http://www.sacbee.com/opinion/op-ed/soapbox/article17973449.html\">criticized Harris\u003c/a> for what they said was slow progress.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sanchez's comments about the database came five days before the Attorney General's Office issued \u003ca href=\"http://oag.ca.gov/sites/all/files/agweb/pdfs/publications/sb-140-supp-budget-report.pdf\">another report\u003c/a> on the program. It said the list is now down to about 12,700 cases, which the office called \"a historic low.\" The report makes clear that the list is not static. More than 20,000 people were added to it during the past 2½ years, while about 7,800 dropped off due to death or other reasons.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10855575\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/02/APPsDatabaseReduction.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-10855575 size-medium\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/02/APPsDatabaseReduction-800x918.jpg\" alt=\"SOURCE: California Attorney General’s SB 140 Supplemental Report of the 2015-2016 Budget Package.

Jerry Brown approved $24 million in additional funds to reduce the long list of cases. It had grown to more than 20,700 at the time, according to Harris' office. Earlier that year, a Harris aide seemed to suggest that the backlog could be eliminated in a single year, according to \u003ca style=\"text-decoration: none;\" href=\"http://www.sacbee.com/news/politics-government/capitol-alert/article15138524.html\">news reports\u003c/a> from the time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That same year, the attorney general pledged to hire 36 enforcement agents with the money. Two years later, only half as many had been hired due to what Harris' office called \"hiring challenges.\" And while state investigations helped clear nearly 7,000 names off the list, the overall backlog had shrunk by only one-fifth during that time, to about 17,500, according to a \u003ca style=\"text-decoration: none;\" href=\"http://www.oag.ca.gov/sites/all/files/agweb/pdfs/publications/armed-prohib-person-system.pdf\">March 2015 report\u003c/a> by the Attorney General's Office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Republicans in the Legislature \u003ca style=\"text-decoration: none;\" href=\"http://www.sacbee.com/opinion/op-ed/soapbox/article17973449.html\">criticized Harris\u003c/a> for what they said was slow progress.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sanchez's comments about the database came five days before the Attorney General's Office issued \u003ca href=\"http://oag.ca.gov/sites/all/files/agweb/pdfs/publications/sb-140-supp-budget-report.pdf\">another report\u003c/a> on the program. It said the list is now down to about 12,700 cases, which the office called \"a historic low.\" The report makes clear that the list is not static. More than 20,000 people were added to it during the past 2½ years, while about 7,800 dropped off due to death or other reasons.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10855575\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/02/APPsDatabaseReduction.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-10855575 size-medium\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/02/APPsDatabaseReduction-800x918.jpg\" alt=\"SOURCE: California Attorney General’s SB 140 Supplemental Report of the 2015-2016 Budget Package.

Loretta Sanchez said in a recent interview that California Attorney General Kamala Harris has done \"nothing\" to address a backlog of cases in a high-profile gun ownership tracking system. The database allows law enforcement to seize guns from people with criminal records and mental illness.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"So the Legislature gave the attorney general $25 million to match up those people who were felons versus those people who were buying guns. Just a database, so that we could weed out what was going on with respect to those people who shouldn't be able to purchase guns -- by existing law. Nothing was done. I mean, $25 million was spent, but we don't have that database,\" Sanchez said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Not only does the program exist, but some progress has been made. The backlog has been cut from more than 20,000 cases to 12,700. That's after Harris's office spent $15 million of $24 million allocated by the Legislature and governor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some continue to argue that the cases should be cleared more quickly, citing the mass shootings that have continued across the country. But there's no denying that the Attorney General's Office, under Harris, has put a dent in the backlog, allowing for the seizure of thousands of guns. And that's far from \"nothing.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While there's room to criticize the pace of the program, Sanchez's statement amounts to a complete misrepresentation of reality.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We rate the claim Pants On Fire.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/article/2011/feb/21/principles-truth-o-meter/\">Click here for more \u003c/a>on the six PolitiFact ratings and how we select facts to check.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca style=\"text-decoration: underline;\" title=\"View Senate Bill 140 Supplemental Budget Report on Scribd\" href=\"https://www.scribd.com/doc/297825900/Senate-Bill-140-Supplemental-Budget-Report\">Senate Bill 140 Supplemental Budget Report\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe class=\"scribd_iframe_embed\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"600\" id=\"doc_13841\" scrolling=\"no\" src=\"https://www.scribd.com/embeds/297825900/content?start_page=1&view_mode=scroll&show_recommendations=true\" width=\"100%\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>For a list of sources on this fact check and to read more more fact checks, go to \u003ca href=\"http://www.politifact.com/california/\" target=\"_blank\">PolitiFactCalifornia.com\u003c/a>\u003c/em>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
