Previously he collaborated on \u003cem>Political Breakdown\u003c/em> and on \u003cem>The Political Mind of Jerry Brown\u003c/em>, an eight-part series about the life and extraordinary political career of the former governor. For fun, he plays water polo and swims with the San Francisco Tsunami.",

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.",

"content": "\u003cp>In a packed courtyard outside the First United Methodist Church in the Orange County city of Costa Mesa, dozens of residents eagerly anticipated the arrival of their congressman.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dana Rohrabacher, a Republican who has represented the 48th Congresssional District since 1989, was slated to appear in a candidate forum with Harley Rouda, the Democratic challenger who is giving Rohrabacher the first competitive race of his career.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When Rohrabacher didn’t show up, the event turned into a town hall for Rouda, in front of a crowd of mostly supporters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I wanted to see Rohrabacher. I think that he said ‘no,’ and that doesn’t really surprise me very much,” said Sylvia Hatton, a Costa Mesa resident who said she has voted for both Democrats and Republicans in the past. “I think Rohrabacher has never shown much interest in talking with the people and finding out what it is they want.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In his bid to defeat Rohrabacher in this historically Republican district, Rouda, a former Republican himself, has honed in on the most nonpartisan of messages: a critique of Rohrabacher’s lack of engagement with constituents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That’s absolutely a huge issue,” Rouda said in an interview. “He’s been phoning it in. He’s simply not around to meet with constituents.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rohrabacher declined an interview for this story.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His campaign spokesman, Dale Neugebauer, said Rohrabacher “is deeply connected and engaged with the people he represents in Congress,” and has held multiple meetings in recent weeks with constituents in their homes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Rohrabacher’s decision not to hold any traditional in-person town halls since his last election has frustrated even some longtime supporters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I don’t really want to see the balance of power in Washington change, but I also want to see our district represented better,” said Geoff West, a lifelong Republican and a former blogger on Costa Mesa municipal politics.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“[Rohrabacher] is not a bad guy, his kids trick-or-treat at my house every year, he lives two blocks from me,” West continued. “I don’t know who Dana listens to. He doesn’t listen to me.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>West said he was open to voting for Rouda if he proved himself “a moderate Democrat.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rouda’s intent is to do just that, largely by focusing on issues as non-controversial as promising to show up at town halls. To win, he’ll need to position himself as a Democrat palatable enough for independents and even some Republican voters, who still have a 10-point registration advantage in the district.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And while he \u003ca href=\"https://www.cnn.com/2018/05/02/politics/grassroots-groups-endorsements-democratic-primaries/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">courted support\u003c/a> from progressive groups during the primary, Rouda’s pitch does not center on convincing Orange County voters to embrace Democratic policies (he only joined the party in 2016).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I am just very focused on defeating Dana Rohrabacher,” Rouda said. “I’m confident that the more [voters] get to know me, the more they understand the fact that I’m a moderate.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Orange County’s shift from a Republican stronghold to a political battleground can be attributed to changes in demographics more than longtime residents shifting their views leftward, said Fred Smoller, professor of political science at Chapman University in Southern California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“People aren’t changing their attitudes. The people themselves are changing,” Smoller said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And while the 48th District is seen as a vital part of the Democratic “blue wave,” demographic changes are happening a bit slower here: The coastal district (which includes Huntington Beach, Laguna Beach and Newport Beach) has the smallest nonwhite population of the competitive Orange County congressional districts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the debate-turned-town hall, Rouda, given the chance to evangelize progressive policies in a church packed mostly with supporters, chose instead to emphasize moderation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On health care, he promoted a public option, not a single-payer system favored by liberals. On immigration, he pushed back against calls to abolish U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, while serving up a heavy dose of being “frustrated with both parties.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Smoller said distrust of government is still a strong political force in Orange County.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chapman University’s \u003ca href=\"https://www.chapman.edu/about/new-about/_files-housing/cu-orange-county-survey.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Orange County Annual Survey\u003c/a> found that 42 percent of residents said the country would be the same, regardless of which party was in control of Congress.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I don’t know if they’re buying into the Democratic Party platform,” said Smoller, the survey’s co-author. “I think they’re reacting very strongly to the incumbent’s behavior in office.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And Rohrabacher’s behavior since the 2016 election has raised more than a few eyebrows.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The district’s anti-Washington bent historically fit with Rohrabacher’s reputation as a fiscal conservative who was willing to buck the party establishment on \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2014/03/29/us/politics/kremlin-finds-a-defender-in-congress.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">foreign policy\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://www.scpr.org/news/2017/05/27/71938/orange-county-congressman-rohrabacher-is-californi/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">cannabis law\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His Orange County credentials were burnished by his image as a surfer-congressman: “Making waves in Washington, riding waves at home,” has been his longtime catchphrase. Rouda, in contrast, moved to the area earlier in the decade.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Rohrabacher’s loyalty to President Trump and connection to the investigation into Russian interference (he was \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2017/05/19/us/politics/dana-rohrabacher-russia-spies.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">reportedly\u003c/a> warned that Russian spies were trying to recruit him) have placed him in the thick of partisan crossfire.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.latimes.com/politics/la-me-pol-berkeley-la-times-poll-20181004-story.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Polling\u003c/a> in the district has shown Rohrabacher and Rouda in a \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2018/upshot/elections-poll-ca48-1.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">dead heat\u003c/a>, but with independent voters widely preferring Rouda.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those voters will be critical for Democrats’ hopes in the 48th District and across Orange County.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s a lot of former Republicans in that No Party Preference group who resigned from the Republican Party,” said Jodi Balma, professor of political science at Fullerton College. “They aren’t willing to become Democrats, but want somebody who is rational.”\u003c/p>\n\n",

I think that he said ‘no,’ and that doesn’t really surprise me very much,” said Sylvia Hatton, a Costa Mesa resident who said she has voted for both Democrats and Republicans in the past. “I think Rohrabacher has never shown much interest in talking with the people and finding out what it is they want.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In his bid to defeat Rohrabacher in this historically Republican district, Rouda, a former Republican himself, has honed in on the most nonpartisan of messages: a critique of Rohrabacher’s lack of engagement with constituents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

He’s simply not around to meet with constituents.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rohrabacher declined an interview for this story.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His campaign spokesman, Dale Neugebauer, said Rohrabacher “is deeply connected and engaged with the people he represents in Congress,” and has held multiple meetings in recent weeks with constituents in their homes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Rohrabacher’s decision not to hold any traditional in-person town halls since his last election has frustrated even some longtime supporters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I don’t really want to see the balance of power in Washington change, but I also want to see our district represented better,” said Geoff West, a lifelong Republican and a former blogger on Costa Mesa municipal politics.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“[Rohrabacher] is not a bad guy, his kids trick-or-treat at my house every year, he lives two blocks from me,” West continued. “I don’t know who Dana listens to. He doesn’t listen to me.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>West said he was open to voting for Rouda if he proved himself “a moderate Democrat.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rouda’s intent is to do just that, largely by focusing on issues as non-controversial as promising to show up at town halls. To win, he’ll need to position himself as a Democrat palatable enough for independents and even some Republican voters, who still have a 10-point registration advantage in the district.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And while he \u003ca href=\"https://www.cnn.com/2018/05/02/politics/grassroots-groups-endorsements-democratic-primaries/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">courted support\u003c/a> from progressive groups during the primary, Rouda’s pitch does not center on convincing Orange County voters to embrace Democratic policies (he only joined the party in 2016).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I am just very focused on defeating Dana Rohrabacher,” Rouda said. “I’m confident that the more [voters] get to know me, the more they understand the fact that I’m a moderate.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Orange County’s shift from a Republican stronghold to a political battleground can be attributed to changes in demographics more than longtime residents shifting their views leftward, said Fred Smoller, professor of political science at Chapman University in Southern California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“People aren’t changing their attitudes. The people themselves are changing,” Smoller said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And while the 48th District is seen as a vital part of the Democratic “blue wave,” demographic changes are happening a bit slower here: The coastal district (which includes Huntington Beach, Laguna Beach and Newport Beach) has the smallest nonwhite population of the competitive Orange County congressional districts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the debate-turned-town hall, Rouda, given the chance to evangelize progressive policies in a church packed mostly with supporters, chose instead to emphasize moderation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On health care, he promoted a public option, not a single-payer system favored by liberals. On immigration, he pushed back against calls to abolish U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, while serving up a heavy dose of being “frustrated with both parties.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Smoller said distrust of government is still a strong political force in Orange County.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chapman University’s \u003ca href=\"https://www.chapman.edu/about/new-about/_files-housing/cu-orange-county-survey.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Orange County Annual Survey\u003c/a> found that 42 percent of residents said the country would be the same, regardless of which party was in control of Congress.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I don’t know if they’re buying into the Democratic Party platform,” said Smoller, the survey’s co-author. “I think they’re reacting very strongly to the incumbent’s behavior in office.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And Rohrabacher’s behavior since the 2016 election has raised more than a few eyebrows.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The district’s anti-Washington bent historically fit with Rohrabacher’s reputation as a fiscal conservative who was willing to buck the party establishment on \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2014/03/29/us/politics/kremlin-finds-a-defender-in-congress.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">foreign policy\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://www.scpr.org/news/2017/05/27/71938/orange-county-congressman-rohrabacher-is-californi/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">cannabis law\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His Orange County credentials were burnished by his image as a surfer-congressman: “Making waves in Washington, riding waves at home,” has been his longtime catchphrase. Rouda, in contrast, moved to the area earlier in the decade.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Rohrabacher’s loyalty to President Trump and connection to the investigation into Russian interference (he was \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2017/05/19/us/politics/dana-rohrabacher-russia-spies.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">reportedly\u003c/a> warned that Russian spies were trying to recruit him) have placed him in the thick of partisan crossfire.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.latimes.com/politics/la-me-pol-berkeley-la-times-poll-20181004-story.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Polling\u003c/a> in the district has shown Rohrabacher and Rouda in a \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2018/upshot/elections-poll-ca48-1.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">dead heat\u003c/a>, but with independent voters widely preferring Rouda.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those voters will be critical for Democrats’ hopes in the 48th District and across Orange County.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s a lot of former Republicans in that No Party Preference group who resigned from the Republican Party,” said Jodi Balma, professor of political science at Fullerton College. “They aren’t willing to become Democrats, but want somebody who is rational.”\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

She moved to Orange County in 1986 from Chicago, and said she’s always been of “liberal persuasion.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I have always felt like a minority here … and boy the tide is changing,” she said. “The last four, six, eight years you have a different sense in the community here.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It may have changed because Orange County has changed. It’s become more diverse: Over the past 18 years, the white population has shrunk from 51 percent of the population to around 40 percent, as Latino and Asian-American populations have grown.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Perhaps even more telling? The gap between registered Republicans and Democrats has shrunk from 9 points in 2014, the last midterm election, to about 2 percentage points now.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, when asked if she’s optimistic about Porter’s chances of beating Rep. Mimi Walters, who has held the seat since 2014, Kay was emphatic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“No!” she said. “And if anybody is optimistic, they should not be optimistic at all. This is a midterm, and if you look at the number of people who voted in the primary — the number of Democrats and independents versus Republicans — more Republicans still came out.

If she wins, it would make Kim the first Korean-American woman elected to Congress. A Cisneros victory would help Democrats reclaim the House.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On a recent weekday morning in the town of Brea, Kim made her pitch for why she should replace Royce when he leaves office. Kim worked as a staffer to Royce and is making her familiarity with the district a key talking point.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“So good to see everyone,” Kim told a crowd of about 40 people gathered on the patio of a Panera Bread store.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You are my friends, you are my neighbors. You made the community a better place to live,” Kim says. She touches on safe issues like the economy and education, then ends her remarks with an echo of Trump. “Let’s go and make our communities and California and America great.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Afterward, Kim denied she was referencing Trump, insisting, “I’ve always said that.” And while she promises to follow in Royce’s footsteps, Kim insists she’s not a partisan Republican. To make her point she says we need more compassion for immigrants here illegally, especially recipients of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), the so-called Dreamers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They are now grown-ups,” Kim, herself an immigrant from South Korea, tells me. “They are not breaking any laws, they’re paying taxes, they’re helping our economy. We need them to stay here with some sort of legal status, and I’ll be very supportive of that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This district is mostly in Orange County, and it’s very diverse — roughly split among Latinos, Asians and Caucasians and with equal numbers of Democrats, Republicans and independent voters. It makes for interesting political crosscurrents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For example, Carlos Muñiz, vice president of the Orange County Hispanic Chamber of Commerce here, says he supports Kim, but he doesn’t like the Trump administration’s stepped-up enforcement against immigrants here illegally.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When ICE [U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement] comes out and there are a lot of raids, that impacts business,” Muñiz said. “Because now you’ve got 15 to 20 employees that you lost. Now you’ve got to replace those employees, and that takes three to four months.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That sentiment was expressed by several Kim supporters, including some Latinos.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kim’s opponent, Democrat and Latino Gil Cisneros, might just have the luck it will take to win this seat. In 2008, he won a record-breaking $266 million in the California Lottery. The Navy veteran and his wife started a foundation to help Latino students, and now he’s got his sights on Congress.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At a backyard campaign event in the town of Walnut recently, Cisneros noted that one big difference between him and his opponent is campaign funding.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“My opponent has taken thousands of dollars from PAC money,” Cisneros said. “She’s taking money from Big Oil. She’s taking money from the NRA. That’s who she’s going to serve in Congress.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cisneros is refusing all PAC money, including from labor unions. Of course a cynic might say he doesn’t need the cash since he struck it rich in the lottery.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Like many Democrats running this year, Cisneros is emphasizing his support for the Affordable Care Act, or Obamacare.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When it comes to health care, my mother went 16 years without health care,” he said. “My dad, when he first developed diabetes, he went down to Tijuana to buy his diabetes medication. That shouldn’t happen in this country.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Unlike Kim, who was elected to the state Assembly from here, Cisneros is a novice candidate and it shows. At the recent meet-and-greet event in Walnut, he seemed a bit socially awkward and struggled to connect with voters. Still, they seemed open to his message and candidacy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The nonpartisan \u003ca href=\"https://www.cookpolitical.com/index.php/ratings/house-race-ratings\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Cook Report\u003c/a> lists this race as one of five Republican-held seats in California that are now considered “toss-ups.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A recent \u003ca href=\"https://www.monmouth.edu/polling-institute/reports/monmouthpoll_ca_091818/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Monmouth University poll\u003c/a> showed Kim with a slight lead over Cisneros among “potential voters” — but a majority of voters don’t really know either one of them. But Fullerton College political science professor Jodi Balma is skeptical that a blue wave is about to wash over the O.C.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s still lots and lots of parts of Orange County that are rock-ribbed Republicans who are not gonna shift on that,” Balma said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In other words, for the Democrat to win here it will take a little luck — although not quite as much as winning the lottery.\u003c/p>\n\n",

You made the community a better place to live,” Kim says. She touches on safe issues like the economy and education, then ends her remarks with an echo of Trump. “Let’s go and make our communities and California and America great.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Afterward, Kim denied she was referencing Trump, insisting, “I’ve always said that.” And while she promises to follow in Royce’s footsteps, Kim insists she’s not a partisan Republican. To make her point she says we need more compassion for immigrants here illegally, especially recipients of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), the so-called Dreamers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They are now grown-ups,” Kim, herself an immigrant from South Korea, tells me. “They are not breaking any laws, they’re paying taxes, they’re helping our economy. We need them to stay here with some sort of legal status, and I’ll be very supportive of that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This district is mostly in Orange County, and it’s very diverse — roughly split among Latinos, Asians and Caucasians and with equal numbers of Democrats, Republicans and independent voters. It makes for interesting political crosscurrents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For example, Carlos Muñiz, vice president of the Orange County Hispanic Chamber of Commerce here, says he supports Kim, but he doesn’t like the Trump administration’s stepped-up enforcement against immigrants here illegally.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When ICE [U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement] comes out and there are a lot of raids, that impacts business,” Muñiz said. “Because now you’ve got 15 to 20 employees that you lost. Now you’ve got to replace those employees, and that takes three to four months.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That sentiment was expressed by several Kim supporters, including some Latinos.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kim’s opponent, Democrat and Latino Gil Cisneros, might just have the luck it will take to win this seat. In 2008, he won a record-breaking $266 million in the California Lottery. The Navy veteran and his wife started a foundation to help Latino students, and now he’s got his sights on Congress.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At a backyard campaign event in the town of Walnut recently, Cisneros noted that one big difference between him and his opponent is campaign funding.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“My opponent has taken thousands of dollars from PAC money,” Cisneros said. “She’s taking money from Big Oil. She’s taking money from the NRA. That’s who she’s going to serve in Congress.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cisneros is refusing all PAC money, including from labor unions. Of course a cynic might say he doesn’t need the cash since he struck it rich in the lottery.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Like many Democrats running this year, Cisneros is emphasizing his support for the Affordable Care Act, or Obamacare.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When it comes to health care, my mother went 16 years without health care,” he said. “My dad, when he first developed diabetes, he went down to Tijuana to buy his diabetes medication. That shouldn’t happen in this country.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Unlike Kim, who was elected to the state Assembly from here, Cisneros is a novice candidate and it shows. At the recent meet-and-greet event in Walnut, he seemed a bit socially awkward and struggled to connect with voters. Still, they seemed open to his message and candidacy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The nonpartisan \u003ca href=\"https://www.cookpolitical.com/index.php/ratings/house-race-ratings\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Cook Report\u003c/a> lists this race as one of five Republican-held seats in California that are now considered “toss-ups.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A recent \u003ca href=\"https://www.monmouth.edu/polling-institute/reports/monmouthpoll_ca_091818/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Monmouth University poll\u003c/a> showed Kim with a slight lead over Cisneros among “potential voters” — but a majority of voters don’t really know either one of them. But Fullerton College political science professor Jodi Balma is skeptical that a blue wave is about to wash over the O.C.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s still lots and lots of parts of Orange County that are rock-ribbed Republicans who are not gonna shift on that,” Balma said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In other words, for the Democrat to win here it will take a little luck — although not quite as much as winning the lottery.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

In the story, Wayne Thorley, the state’s deputy secretary for elections, said they had not yet fixed one issue because they work “in a resource-constrained world in government.” But Nevada has yet to apply for the $4.3 million it has been allocated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In an interview with NPR, Thorley explained that the delay in drawing down the federal funds is not by choice. To receive the money, the state needs approval from the governor’s finance office, as well as the Nevada legislature, which currently isn’t in session. There’s a special finance committee meeting at the end of the month, where Thorley is expecting to get approval to start spending the money by July 1.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The state is planning to spend the money on cybersecurity improvements and training as well as improving its auditing capabilities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hicks, the chairman of the EAC, said he expects every state to have turned in the necessary 2-3 page narrative application by the end of July. The amount each state receives is \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/03/27/597077701/despite-cash-from-congress-key-election-security-issue-may-not-get-fixed\">based on population\u003c/a>, and not on any metric based on that state’s level of security or need.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But just because a state has turned in its application doesn’t indicate election security bliss.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Minnesota, for instance, is one of the 33 states that has turned in the necessary paperwork to receive their portion of the money. But a \u003ca href=\"https://www.twincities.com/2018/05/18/gov-mark-dayton-lawmakers-have-117-paths-to-failure-can-they-work-them-out/\">disagreement\u003c/a> between Gov. Mark Dayton, a Democrat, and the Republican-controlled legislature over a proposed budget bill means the state won’t be able to access the $6.6 million it is due until after November’s elections.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There soon will be a $6.6 million account with our name on it,” Minnesota Secretary of State Steve Simon told NPR. “Earmarked for precisely the purpose we need: election security. And we can’t touch it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Simon said his office was hoping to use a portion of the money, about $1.5 million, to hire coders for the next four years to modernize and secure the state’s voter registration system, which was built in 2004.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He says he “testified before legislators six different times, made numerous phone calls and held countless in-person meetings with legislators and staff” to try to convince them to separate approval for use of the election security funds from the larger budget bill, knowing that Dayton had issues with other aspects of the bill. He compared attaching approval for use of the funds to attaching the money to the Titanic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It hit an iceberg and did not come to pass,” Simon said. “It ended up a bad result, and the worst part is, a totally avoidable result.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Simon, and voting officials nationwide, know ensuring voter confidence is a key task of election officials. Despite the setback on getting funding, Simon remains confident Minnesota’s elections will be secure in November. The intelligence community says despite Russian hackers targeting voter registration systems in a number of states, there’s no evidence any votes were changed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California, the state set to receive the largest chunk of federal money, also has yet to apply for its share. But California Secretary of State Alex Padilla says the state was busy preparing for its June 5 primary, and he wanted to wait until afterward to release its plan for the money. The exact spending details are still being finalized, but Padilla expects the state to spend about $20 million of its $34.5 million on equipment improvements.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While the money is welcome for election officials, Padilla said it’s also important to put the amount in perspective. It won’t be a silver bullet. His state alone received \u003ca href=\"https://ballotpedia.org/Help_America_Vote_Act_(HAVA)_of_2002#cite_note-payments-7\">more money\u003c/a> as part of 2002’s Help America Vote Act than the entire country is receiving this year from Congress.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It will put more of a dink than a dent” in the broader effort to improve election security nationwide, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Copyright 2018 NPR.

In the story, Wayne Thorley, the state’s deputy secretary for elections, said they had not yet fixed one issue because they work “in a resource-constrained world in government.” But Nevada has yet to apply for the $4.3 million it has been allocated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In an interview with NPR, Thorley explained that the delay in drawing down the federal funds is not by choice. To receive the money, the state needs approval from the governor’s finance office, as well as the Nevada legislature, which currently isn’t in session. There’s a special finance committee meeting at the end of the month, where Thorley is expecting to get approval to start spending the money by July 1.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The state is planning to spend the money on cybersecurity improvements and training as well as improving its auditing capabilities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hicks, the chairman of the EAC, said he expects every state to have turned in the necessary 2-3 page narrative application by the end of July.

But a \u003ca href=\"https://www.twincities.com/2018/05/18/gov-mark-dayton-lawmakers-have-117-paths-to-failure-can-they-work-them-out/\">disagreement\u003c/a> between Gov. Mark Dayton, a Democrat, and the Republican-controlled legislature over a proposed budget bill means the state won’t be able to access the $6.6 million it is due until after November’s elections.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There soon will be a $6.6 million account with our name on it,” Minnesota Secretary of State Steve Simon told NPR. “Earmarked for precisely the purpose we need: election security. And we can’t touch it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Simon said his office was hoping to use a portion of the money, about $1.5 million, to hire coders for the next four years to modernize and secure the state’s voter registration system, which was built in 2004.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He says he “testified before legislators six different times, made numerous phone calls and held countless in-person meetings with legislators and staff” to try to convince them to separate approval for use of the election security funds from the larger budget bill, knowing that Dayton had issues with other aspects of the bill. He compared attaching approval for use of the funds to attaching the money to the Titanic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It hit an iceberg and did not come to pass,” Simon said. “It ended up a bad result, and the worst part is, a totally avoidable result.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Simon, and voting officials nationwide, know ensuring voter confidence is a key task of election officials. Despite the setback on getting funding, Simon remains confident Minnesota’s elections will be secure in November. The intelligence community says despite Russian hackers targeting voter registration systems in a number of states, there’s no evidence any votes were changed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California, the state set to receive the largest chunk of federal money, also has yet to apply for its share. But California Secretary of State Alex Padilla says the state was busy preparing for its June 5 primary, and he wanted to wait until afterward to release its plan for the money. The exact spending details are still being finalized, but Padilla expects the state to spend about $20 million of its $34.5 million on equipment improvements.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While the money is welcome for election officials, Padilla said it’s also important to put the amount in perspective. It won’t be a silver bullet. His state alone received \u003ca href=\"https://ballotpedia.org/Help_America_Vote_Act_(HAVA)_of_2002#cite_note-payments-7\">more money\u003c/a> as part of 2002’s Help America Vote Act than the entire country is receiving this year from Congress.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It will put more of a dink than a dent” in the broader effort to improve election security nationwide, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

You might remember it as the “Clean and Healthy Bay” ballot measure. It’s goal is to restore thousands of acres of the the San Francisco Bay’s wetlands and to protect our shoreline against sea level rise.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over the next 20 years, this tax is expected to raise $500 million for wetland restoration.

This project is huge, spanning three counties: Alameda, Santa Clara and San Mateo. It aims to revitalize over 15,000 acres of former salt evaporation ponds over a 50-year period. That makes it the largest environmental restoration project West of the Mississippi.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most of the money awarded to this project from the restoration authority will go towards habitat rehabilitation, flood protection measures and recreational improvements at five locations, focusing in on ponds in the Ravenswood and Alviso areas of the South Bay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Independent expenditure committees spent over $3 million on his behalf.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The position is nonpartisan, but both leading candidates are Democrats. Thurmond represents parts of the East Bay in the State Assembly. He used to be a Richmond city council member, school board member and social worker. He grew up poor and credits public education for saving his life.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Two Very Different Backgrounds, A Lot in Common\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Marshall Tuck has a background in management. He helped found the charter network \u003ca href=\"http://greendot.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Green Dot Public Schools\u003c/a> in Los Angeles and ran it. He later helped create and run \u003ca href=\"https://partnershipla.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Partnership for Los Angeles Schools\u003c/a>, a nonprofit that works to improve underserved LA Unified schools. He started out in the world of finance after college, then says he found his passion in education.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While the two differ markedly in their backgrounds, the distinctions in their visions are more subtle. Tuck emphasizes innovation, collaboration and the reform of some teacher protections, like tenure laws. Thurmond highlights his personal connection to public schools, presenting himself as a champion for vulnerable students, and the defender of the state against the assaults of the federal government.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The differences show up in their views on charter schools. Both Tuck and Thurmond say they want to make for-profit charters illegal and both call for greater accountability and transparency of public charter schools.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But while \u003ca href=\"https://www.tonythurmond.com/tonys-plan\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Thurmond stresses\u003c/a> a “crisis of accountability” and calls himself the only candidate who is “fully committed to reforming charter schools,” \u003ca href=\"https://marshalltuck.com/issues/introduction/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Tuck describes\u003c/a> charters as important partners in public education.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It is our neediest that have been hurt the most by underperforming schools,” Tuck’s plan reads, “and we should support quality public charter schools that can give our highest-need families an additional public school opportunity.” He emphasizes focusing on how charters can collaborate with and support traditional public schools.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both Tuck and Thurmond oppose private school vouchers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rIPPbJWwOPw&w=560&h=315]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When it comes to work rules, Tuck has a lot to say, while Thurmond’s plan doesn’t touch on the issue. Tuck calls for reform of the state’s teacher dismissal process, arguing it’s too difficult to get rid of teachers who perform poorly or engage in misconduct. He also wants to see changes to the tenure process in California, which currently allows teachers to be tenured after two years. The law has been \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2016/08/22/490991086/california-teacher-tenure-laws-upheld\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">challenged in court and upheld\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We need to give our teachers and schools more time before making such consequential decisions,” Tuck’s plan reads. “Neither the teacher nor the student is served by having to make such a high-stakes decision after such a short period of time.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tuck has said he supports extending the probationary period to four years; Thurmond has said he would support upping it to three, though he has \u003ca href=\"https://edsource.org/2017/author-shelves-teacher-tenure-bill-union-backed-alternative-emerges/584760\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">sided with the teachers union\u003c/a> in laying out what that might look like.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under current law, seniority largely determines layoffs for teachers. Tuck wants districts to have more flexibility, and be able to consider other factors when layoffs are necessary.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tuck also emphasizes paring down regulations he sees as stifling creativity. He calls the California Education Code “overly prescriptive” and says he wants to build on the Local Control Funding Formula to gain greater flexibility from the ed code. In the short term, he aims to help districts get waivers from the code.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Thurmond says any incoming superintendent should review the rules, and he calls for flexibility in curriculum, but likens Tuck’s critique of the educational code to Education Secretary Betsy DeVos’ attitude toward regulations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The result has been the rollback of protections and rights for disabled students, sexual assault survivors, transgender students and student loan borrowers,” Thurmond says. “Because it’s a cheap way to score political points with voters on the right.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Stanford-based education policy expert \u003ca href=\"https://cepa.stanford.edu/david-plank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">David Plank\u003c/a> says the most significant difference between the two doesn’t show up in their plans for the state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They themselves are not very far apart,” Plank says. “They have very different friends. The friends of one are the enemies of the other and vice versa, so the political contest gives the impression that the stakes are larger than they are.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Thurmond has the \u003ca href=\"https://www.tonythurmond.com/endorsements\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">support\u003c/a> of the state’s major unions, the California Democratic Party, which has put over $500,000 behind him, and Senator Kamala Harris and Congresswoman Barbara Lee. The California Teachers Association has pumped over $2 million into his campaign.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tuck has the Association of School Administrators and California Charter School Association behind him. His biggest fundraiser, The \u003ca href=\"http://cal-access.sos.ca.gov/Campaign/Committees/Detail.aspx?id=1243091&view=general\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ed Voice for the Kids PAC\u003c/a>, got major contributions from billionaire charter advocates Arthur Rock, \u003ca href=\"https://broadfoundation.org/education/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Eli Broad\u003c/a> and the \u003ca href=\"https://www.waltonfamilyfoundation.org/about-us\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Walton family\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California Teachers Association president Eric Heins is quick to take issue with these supporters, arguing they represent the interests of the few.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s clear that we have a very unaccountable industry that is almost completely unregulated,” Heins says of charter schools, “and that’s draining money from our public school system that actually needs it the most.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.cta.org/About-CTA/Leadership/Officers/President-Eric-Heins.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Heins\u003c/a> also says Thurmond’s track record lines up with voter’s values.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He’s continued to work throughout his career as a social worker working with at risk students,” Heins says. “He has passed legislation to \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201520160AB1014\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">provide millions to keep kids in school\u003c/a> and for giving \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201520160AB2506\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">foster kids the opportunity to go to college\u003c/a>. These are all things that California voters want.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For Tuck supporter Ben Austin, a former member of the State Board of Education and former consultant for Tuck’s Green Dot Public Schools, Heins and his union colleagues are a big problem. He argues these backers hem Thurmond in.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He doesn’t have the political latitude to stand up for kids because he’s funded by very powerful adult special interests whose interests sometimes clash with the interests of kids,” Austin says.”You can guess who wins when when that happens.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At a recent forum hosted by EdSource, \u003ca href=\"https://edsource.org/2018/california-superintendent-candidates-oppose-big-money-from-independent-committees/598132\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">both candidates decried\u003c/a> the influence of outside money in politics and vowed, if elected, to operate beyond the influence of their bankrollers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XDzXl7d-otg&w=560&h=315]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite the clash between their supporters, Tuck and Thurmond have a lot in common. Both say they want to increase teacher pay and provide more mentoring and coaching opportunities for new teachers. Tuck advocates free college and credentialing for anyone who commits to teaching for five years and higher pay for school employees who work in high-needs communities, while Thurmond says he’d like to make college cheaper for future teachers, streamline the credentialing process and \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=201720180AB45\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">provide affordable housing\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both prioritize boosting per-pupil funding for the state’s public schools. Thurmond touts a plan to bring California into the top 10 states in per-pupil funding by 2022, and to number one in the nation by 2026. Like Tuck, he aims to steer money away from prisons into schools, and make it easier to pass local school taxes and fight cuts to federal funding.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both men say they’ll work towards universal pre-K in the state, and want to see schools act as community hubs, providing healthcare services to those who need them. Both are calling for greater funding for special education and expanded bilingual education.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both herald the Local Control Funding Formula as an important step toward equity in the state, but say they want to see greater transparency, in the form of public data, and more accountability.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Thurmond has called for a thorough review of the LCFF to “ensure that funding is spent as efficiently and effectively as possible.” Meanwhile Tuck is advocating what he calls a “school equity audit” — a sprawling review not only of how districts allocate funding, but of teacher experience and turnover, access to college prep classes, learning time, and arts and music curriculum.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Two other candidates for the post are on the ballot, but neither has mounted a significant campaign. They are Lily Ploski and Steven Ireland.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If no candidate gets a majority of the votes in next month’s primary, there will be a runoff in November.\u003c/p>\n\n",

He helped found the charter network \u003ca href=\"http://greendot.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Green Dot Public Schools\u003c/a> in Los Angeles and ran it. He later helped create and run \u003ca href=\"https://partnershipla.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Partnership for Los Angeles Schools\u003c/a>, a nonprofit that works to improve underserved LA Unified schools. He started out in the world of finance after college, then says he found his passion in education.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While the two differ markedly in their backgrounds, the distinctions in their visions are more subtle. Tuck emphasizes innovation, collaboration and the reform of some teacher protections, like tenure laws. Thurmond highlights his personal connection to public schools, presenting himself as a champion for vulnerable students, and the defender of the state against the assaults of the federal government.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The differences show up in their views on charter schools. Both Tuck and Thurmond say they want to make for-profit charters illegal and both call for greater accountability and transparency of public charter schools.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But while \u003ca href=\"https://www.tonythurmond.com/tonys-plan\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Thurmond stresses\u003c/a> a “crisis of accountability” and calls himself the only candidate who is “fully committed to reforming charter schools,” \u003ca href=\"https://marshalltuck.com/issues/introduction/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Tuck describes\u003c/a> charters as important partners in public education.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It is our neediest that have been hurt the most by underperforming schools,” Tuck’s plan reads, “and we should support quality public charter schools that can give our highest-need families an additional public school opportunity.” He emphasizes focusing on how charters can collaborate with and support traditional public schools.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both Tuck and Thurmond oppose private school vouchers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/rIPPbJWwOPw'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/rIPPbJWwOPw'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When it comes to work rules, Tuck has a lot to say, while Thurmond’s plan doesn’t touch on the issue. Tuck calls for reform of the state’s teacher dismissal process, arguing it’s too difficult to get rid of teachers who perform poorly or engage in misconduct. He also wants to see changes to the tenure process in California, which currently allows teachers to be tenured after two years. The law has been \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2016/08/22/490991086/california-teacher-tenure-laws-upheld\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">challenged in court and upheld\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We need to give our teachers and schools more time before making such consequential decisions,” Tuck’s plan reads. “Neither the teacher nor the student is served by having to make such a high-stakes decision after such a short period of time.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tuck has said he supports extending the probationary period to four years; Thurmond has said he would support upping it to three, though he has \u003ca href=\"https://edsource.org/2017/author-shelves-teacher-tenure-bill-union-backed-alternative-emerges/584760\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">sided with the teachers union\u003c/a> in laying out what that might look like.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under current law, seniority largely determines layoffs for teachers. Tuck wants districts to have more flexibility, and be able to consider other factors when layoffs are necessary.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tuck also emphasizes paring down regulations he sees as stifling creativity. He calls the California Education Code “overly prescriptive” and says he wants to build on the Local Control Funding Formula to gain greater flexibility from the ed code. In the short term, he aims to help districts get waivers from the code.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Thurmond says any incoming superintendent should review the rules, and he calls for flexibility in curriculum, but likens Tuck’s critique of the educational code to Education Secretary Betsy DeVos’ attitude toward regulations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The result has been the rollback of protections and rights for disabled students, sexual assault survivors, transgender students and student loan borrowers,” Thurmond says. “Because it’s a cheap way to score political points with voters on the right.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Stanford-based education policy expert \u003ca href=\"https://cepa.stanford.edu/david-plank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">David Plank\u003c/a> says the most significant difference between the two doesn’t show up in their plans for the state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They themselves are not very far apart,” Plank says. “They have very different friends. The friends of one are the enemies of the other and vice versa, so the political contest gives the impression that the stakes are larger than they are.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Thurmond has the \u003ca href=\"https://www.tonythurmond.com/endorsements\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">support\u003c/a> of the state’s major unions, the California Democratic Party, which has put over $500,000 behind him, and Senator Kamala Harris and Congresswoman Barbara Lee. The California Teachers Association has pumped over $2 million into his campaign.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tuck has the Association of School Administrators and California Charter School Association behind him. His biggest fundraiser, The \u003ca href=\"http://cal-access.sos.ca.gov/Campaign/Committees/Detail.aspx?id=1243091&view=general\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ed Voice for the Kids PAC\u003c/a>, got major contributions from billionaire charter advocates Arthur Rock, \u003ca href=\"https://broadfoundation.org/education/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Eli Broad\u003c/a> and the \u003ca href=\"https://www.waltonfamilyfoundation.org/about-us\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Walton family\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California Teachers Association president Eric Heins is quick to take issue with these supporters, arguing they represent the interests of the few.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s clear that we have a very unaccountable industry that is almost completely unregulated,” Heins says of charter schools, “and that’s draining money from our public school system that actually needs it the most.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.cta.org/About-CTA/Leadership/Officers/President-Eric-Heins.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Heins\u003c/a> also says Thurmond’s track record lines up with voter’s values.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He’s continued to work throughout his career as a social worker working with at risk students,” Heins says. “He has passed legislation to \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201520160AB1014\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">provide millions to keep kids in school\u003c/a> and for giving \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201520160AB2506\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">foster kids the opportunity to go to college\u003c/a>. These are all things that California voters want.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For Tuck supporter Ben Austin, a former member of the State Board of Education and former consultant for Tuck’s Green Dot Public Schools, Heins and his union colleagues are a big problem. He argues these backers hem Thurmond in.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He doesn’t have the political latitude to stand up for kids because he’s funded by very powerful adult special interests whose interests sometimes clash with the interests of kids,” Austin says.”You can guess who wins when when that happens.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At a recent forum hosted by EdSource, \u003ca href=\"https://edsource.org/2018/california-superintendent-candidates-oppose-big-money-from-independent-committees/598132\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">both candidates decried\u003c/a> the influence of outside money in politics and vowed, if elected, to operate beyond the influence of their bankrollers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/XDzXl7d-otg'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/XDzXl7d-otg'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite the clash between their supporters, Tuck and Thurmond have a lot in common. Both say they want to increase teacher pay and provide more mentoring and coaching opportunities for new teachers. Tuck advocates free college and credentialing for anyone who commits to teaching for five years and higher pay for school employees who work in high-needs communities, while Thurmond says he’d like to make college cheaper for future teachers, streamline the credentialing process and \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=201720180AB45\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">provide affordable housing\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both prioritize boosting per-pupil funding for the state’s public schools. Thurmond touts a plan to bring California into the top 10 states in per-pupil funding by 2022, and to number one in the nation by 2026. Like Tuck, he aims to steer money away from prisons into schools, and make it easier to pass local school taxes and fight cuts to federal funding.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both men say they’ll work towards universal pre-K in the state, and want to see schools act as community hubs, providing healthcare services to those who need them. Both are calling for greater funding for special education and expanded bilingual education.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both herald the Local Control Funding Formula as an important step toward equity in the state, but say they want to see greater transparency, in the form of public data, and more accountability.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Thurmond has called for a thorough review of the LCFF to “ensure that funding is spent as efficiently and effectively as possible.” Meanwhile Tuck is advocating what he calls a “school equity audit” — a sprawling review not only of how districts allocate funding, but of teacher experience and turnover, access to college prep classes, learning time, and arts and music curriculum.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Two other candidates for the post are on the ballot, but neither has mounted a significant campaign. They are Lily Ploski and Steven Ireland.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
