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>When Gov. Jerry Brown was sworn in seven years ago, he inherited a prison system that by most accounts was at a breaking point.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Years of “tough on crime” laws had packed state lockups to the brim. Federal judges \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2011/05/24/us/24scotus.html\">told California leaders they needed to reduce the prison population by 40,000 inmates\u003c/a>, or else the court would start releasing prisoners.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So one of Brown’s first big moves as governor was a \u003ca href=\"https://www.gov.ca.gov/2011/04/05/news16964/\">proposal to massively change how the state dealt with nonviolent offenders\u003c/a>: Assembly Bill 109 shifted their sentences from state prison to county jails, and let them report to county probation departments rather than state parole officers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Supporters, including state Sen. Mark Leno, said the change — dubbed “criminal justice realignment” — would let the state save money, reduce crowding and tackle its dismal recidivism rate, which saw 70 percent of offenders return to prison within three years of release.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Leno, a San Francisco Democrat, carried the \u003ca href=\"http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201120120AB109\">663-page realignment bill\u003c/a> through the Senate, a proposal that Republicans opposed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think we can all acknowledge we have a failed very expensive system currently,” Leno told lawmakers during a March 2011 debate. “For example, if someone has a drug or alcohol problem, currently when they fail parole, we send them back to state prison at a cost of about $50,000 a year. And guess what — we’re not dealing with the problem. Locals, with the funding we will be providing, will be able to invest in a variety of different programs, to get to the core of the problem.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The success of realignment \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11108031/five-years-later-many-see-criminal-justice-realignment-as-success\">is still being debated\u003c/a>. But it’s clear that the bill was just the beginning of a series of sweeping criminal justice reforms California would embrace over Brown’s two terms in office.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright\">\n\u003ch3>Where the candidates stand\u003c/h3>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>“As governor, I will reverse the soft-on-crime laws of Jerry Brown and the California Democrats. Liberal laws like AB 109 and Propositions 47 and 57 have released thousands of criminals and sex offenders from jails and prisons and into our neighborhoods, feeding the explosion of homeless encampments, drug users and criminals in our neighborhoods.”\u003cbr>\n\u003ccite>Travis Allen\u003c/cite>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>“As governor, I will help lead the difficult conversations that must happen between law enforcement and communities of color and emphasize a community-oriented approach to policing that builds stronger relationships and understanding.”\u003cbr>\n\u003ccite>John Chiang\u003c/cite>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>“I’d take a very different approach than Jerry Brown’s. On day one as governor I would act to end the sanctuary state law. I will also advocate for full repeal of Prop. 47 and AB 109 to remove the criminal element plaguing our streets.”\u003cbr>\n\u003ccite> John Cox\u003c/cite>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>“I believe strongly that our next governor should lead efforts to eliminate the discriminatory cash bail system and take on the private prison industrial complex. Bail bondsmen and the for-profit prison industry should have no place in California’s future.”\u003cbr>\n\u003ccite>Gavin Newsom\u003c/cite>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>“Research has made abundantly clear that investments in early care and education have significant impacts in improving educational outcomes. The school to prison pipeline must be broken. So I will continue to work on the path of reforming our criminal justice system.”\u003cbr>\n\u003ccite>Antonio Villaraigosa\u003c/cite>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Some of the most far-reaching reforms came at the ballot box.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Voters \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/10652368/proposition-47-gives-former-felons-a-new-chance\">lowered most drug possession offenses\u003c/a> from felonies to misdemeanors, \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfgate.com/politics/article/Prop-36-Three-strikes-changes-approved-4014677.php\">softened the three strikes law\u003c/a>, legalized \u003ca href=\"http://time.com/4565438/california-marijuana-faq-rules-prop-64/\">marijuana\u003c/a> and embraced \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11081078/gov-brown-sees-prop-57-as-key-to-ending-court-prison-oversight\">sweeping parole changes\u003c/a> pushed by Brown.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the Capitol, Brown signed dozens of laws reshaping criminal sentences, \u003ca href=\"https://www.dailynews.com/2017/10/19/revealing-rejections-jerry-browns-vetoes-are-a-window-into-his-mind/\">and vetoed bills\u003c/a> that would have created new crimes or increased sentences.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So what will a new governor mean for California and Brown’s criminal justice legacy?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A lot would change if a Republican won.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Businessman John Cox and state Assemblyman Travis Allen are both vowing to repeal most of Brown’s signature criminal justice reforms and others backed by voters, including \u003ca href=\"https://ballotpedia.org/California_Proposition_47,_Reduced_Penalties_for_Some_Crimes_Initiative_(2014)\">Proposition 47\u003c/a>, the 2014 ballot measure that made some theft and most drug possession charges misdemeanors. That measure has helped reduce the populations in county jails, and allowed thousands of people with past relevant felonies to petition the courts to have their records cleared. Any changes would need to be approved by voters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Critics blame Proposition 47 for the \u003ca href=\"https://openjustice.doj.ca.gov/crime-statistics/crimes-clearances\">slight increase\u003c/a> in property crimes seen statewide since 2014 and the \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfgate.com/crime/article/Property-crimes-violence-increases-in-San-12723981.php\">large spikes in some big cities\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’d take a very different approach than Jerry Brown’s,” Cox said in a statement to KQED. “On day one as governor I would act to end the sanctuary state law, I will also advocate for full repeal of Prop.47 and AB 109 to remove the criminal element plaguing our streets.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Allen went even further, promising to “reverse the soft-on-crime laws of Jerry Brown and the California Democrats,” including Brown’s \u003ca href=\"https://ballotpedia.org/California_Proposition_57,_Parole_for_Non-Violent_Criminals_and_Juvenile_Court_Trial_Requirements_(2016)\">Proposition 57\u003c/a>, which made it easier for people who participate in rehabilitation programs to win their parole from prison.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Allen also vowed to return to a tougher three strikes law; voters embraced \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfgate.com/politics/article/3-strikes-law-revised-under-Prop-36-3930347.php\">changes to that law in 2012\u003c/a>. And, he called for repealing some of the state’s \u003ca href=\"http://www.latimes.com/politics/la-pol-ca-gun-bill-timeline-20171002-htmlstory.html\">tough gun control measures. \u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Liberal laws like AB 109 and Propositions 47 and 57 have released thousands of criminals and sex offenders from jails and prisons and into our neighborhoods, feeding the explosion of homeless encampments, drug users and criminals in our neighborhoods,” Allen said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Of course, Republicans make up only about one-quarter of the electorate in California, making it far more likely that the next governor will be a Democrat.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If that’s the case, don’t expect a big shift on criminal justice, said Jessica Levinson, a law professor at Loyola Marymount in Los Angeles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What you see (among Democrats) is kind of a race to be the most reform-minded criminal justice proponent,” she said. “You hear a lot of talk from all of them about basically how we need to take preventative measures.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Levinson said she doesn’t see much daylight among the three leading Democrats — Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom, state Treasurer John Chiang and former Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But there are clearly some differences among the candidates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11669748\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11669748\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/GettyImages-693098880-1-800x537.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"537\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/GettyImages-693098880-1-800x537.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/GettyImages-693098880-1-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/GettyImages-693098880-1-1020x684.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/GettyImages-693098880-1-1200x805.jpg 1200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/GettyImages-693098880-1-1920x1288.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/GettyImages-693098880-1-1180x791.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/GettyImages-693098880-1-960x644.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/GettyImages-693098880-1-240x161.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/GettyImages-693098880-1-375x252.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/GettyImages-693098880-1-520x349.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Former Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa \u003ccite>(Justin Sullivan/Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Villaraigosa, for example, has tried to strike a middle path, saying he supports reforms and opposes the death penalty. In a statement to KQED, Villaraigosa noted that he long opposed the state’s draconian three strikes law, which voters approved in 1994.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It has taken our country too long to recognize that the war on drugs and the politics of being tough on crime led to our country’s crisis of mass incarceration,” Villaraigosa said. “Governor Brown and our state have taken important steps to reform our criminal justice system but much remains to be done. I will continue to work on the path of reforming our criminal justice system. As I have done throughout my career, I will continue to work on reducing incarceration levels, capital punishment and creating economic opportunities that address the root causes of crime and desperation.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Villaraigosa also has been critical of realignment and of \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11613892/bail-reform-gets-backing-of-governor-chief-justice-but-put-off-to-2018\">a push to move away from California’s money bail system\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those positions helped him \u003ca href=\"https://antonioforcalifornia.com/news/ca-police-chiefs-association-porac-antonio-villaraigosa/\">win the backing of several law enforcement groups\u003c/a>, including the Police Officers Research Association of California (PORAC), that have been among the most vocal critics of Brown’s criminal justice agenda. PORAC and others are backing a ballot measure to roll back some of the changes included in Propositions 47 and 57, an initiative those close to the governor see as an attack on his criminal justice accomplishments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>PORAC President Brian Marvel noted that Villaraigosa was once speaker of the state Assembly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Which shows that he has the ability to build coalitions, which I think are important. Coalition-building and getting support from a wide variety of interest groups is not easy,” said Marvel, adding that rank-and-file police groups represented by PORAC were often left out of discussions around criminal justice policy in recent years. His group believes Villaraigosa would include them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Staking out a more progressive position is Newsom. He has embraced criminal justice reforms, pushing gun control and marijuana legalization at the ballot box and speaking out in favor of bail reform, which lawmakers are currently considering.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a statement to KQED, Newsom said he would go even further than Brown, and took a swipe at Villaraigosa, who has accepted money from people in the bail industry.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11657185\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11657185\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/RS20460_GettyImages-583816238-qut-800x535.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"535\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/RS20460_GettyImages-583816238-qut-800x535.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/RS20460_GettyImages-583816238-qut-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/RS20460_GettyImages-583816238-qut-1020x682.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/RS20460_GettyImages-583816238-qut.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/RS20460_GettyImages-583816238-qut-1180x789.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/RS20460_GettyImages-583816238-qut-960x642.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/RS20460_GettyImages-583816238-qut-240x160.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/RS20460_GettyImages-583816238-qut-375x251.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/RS20460_GettyImages-583816238-qut-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Lt.

Brown has named a far \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/10869617/browns-judicial-appointments-reflect-shift-away-from-harsh-sentencing-policies\">more diverse set of judges\u003c/a> and parole board members than his predecessors, and allowed \u003ca href=\"http://www.kpbs.org/news/2014/mar/19/governor-brown-releasing-more-lifers/\">a record number of parole releases to go forward.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The appointments to the bench do have a very important, long-term effect,” said Kent Scheidegger, legal director of the conservative Criminal Justice Legal Foundation and a critic of Brown’s approach to criminal justice. “It’s a gradual one that doesn’t necessarily show up right away. But I think we are seeing California courts generally, and the California Supreme Court in particular, being more receptive to arguments made by defendants.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Scheidegger said the governor’s political power — and fundraising strength — have also had an impact. Brown has put his sizable war chest behind promoting changes at the ballot box like 2016’s Proposition 57.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That measure chipped away at a legacy from Brown’s first terms as governor that many blame for the prison overcrowding: determinate sentencing, which sets a fixed prison term at the time of conviction. Proposition 57 gave the parole board more discretion on when to release an inmate. Scheidegger opposed Proposition 57, and believes the governor is “fundamentally mistaken on a lot of sentencing issues.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But criminal justice reform advocates like Lenore Anderson believe the changes of the last seven years are only the beginning.

Federal judges \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2011/05/24/us/24scotus.html\">told California leaders they needed to reduce the prison population by 40,000 inmates\u003c/a>, or else the court would start releasing prisoners.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So one of Brown’s first big moves as governor was a \u003ca href=\"https://www.gov.ca.gov/2011/04/05/news16964/\">proposal to massively change how the state dealt with nonviolent offenders\u003c/a>: Assembly Bill 109 shifted their sentences from state prison to county jails, and let them report to county probation departments rather than state parole officers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Supporters, including state Sen. Mark Leno, said the change — dubbed “criminal justice realignment” — would let the state save money, reduce crowding and tackle its dismal recidivism rate, which saw 70 percent of offenders return to prison within three years of release.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Leno, a San Francisco Democrat, carried the \u003ca href=\"http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201120120AB109\">663-page realignment bill\u003c/a> through the Senate, a proposal that Republicans opposed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

In a statement to KQED, Villaraigosa noted that he long opposed the state’s draconian three strikes law, which voters approved in 1994.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It has taken our country too long to recognize that the war on drugs and the politics of being tough on crime led to our country’s crisis of mass incarceration,” Villaraigosa said. “Governor Brown and our state have taken important steps to reform our criminal justice system but much remains to be done. I will continue to work on the path of reforming our criminal justice system. As I have done throughout my career, I will continue to work on reducing incarceration levels, capital punishment and creating economic opportunities that address the root causes of crime and desperation.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Villaraigosa also has been critical of realignment and of \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11613892/bail-reform-gets-backing-of-governor-chief-justice-but-put-off-to-2018\">a push to move away from California’s money bail system\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those positions helped him \u003ca href=\"https://antonioforcalifornia.com/news/ca-police-chiefs-association-porac-antonio-villaraigosa/\">win the backing of several law enforcement groups\u003c/a>, including the Police Officers Research Association of California (PORAC), that have been among the most vocal critics of Brown’s criminal justice agenda. PORAC and others are backing a ballot measure to roll back some of the changes included in Propositions 47 and 57, an initiative those close to the governor see as an attack on his criminal justice accomplishments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>PORAC President Brian Marvel noted that Villaraigosa was once speaker of the state Assembly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Which shows that he has the ability to build coalitions, which I think are important.

Brown has named a far \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/10869617/browns-judicial-appointments-reflect-shift-away-from-harsh-sentencing-policies\">more diverse set of judges\u003c/a> and parole board members than his predecessors, and allowed \u003ca href=\"http://www.kpbs.org/news/2014/mar/19/governor-brown-releasing-more-lifers/\">a record number of parole releases to go forward.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The appointments to the bench do have a very important, long-term effect,” said Kent Scheidegger, legal director of the conservative Criminal Justice Legal Foundation and a critic of Brown’s approach to criminal justice. “It’s a gradual one that doesn’t necessarily show up right away. But I think we are seeing California courts generally, and the California Supreme Court in particular, being more receptive to arguments made by defendants.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Scheidegger said the governor’s political power — and fundraising strength — have also had an impact. Brown has put his sizable war chest behind promoting changes at the ballot box like 2016’s Proposition 57.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That measure chipped away at a legacy from Brown’s first terms as governor that many blame for the prison overcrowding: determinate sentencing, which sets a fixed prison term at the time of conviction. Proposition 57 gave the parole board more discretion on when to release an inmate. Scheidegger opposed Proposition 57, and believes the governor is “fundamentally mistaken on a lot of sentencing issues.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But criminal justice reform advocates like Lenore Anderson believe the changes of the last seven years are only the beginning. Anderson is director of Californians for Safety and Justice, which wrote Proposition 47.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What’s been so exciting to see in California over the last few years is the popularity of criminal justice reform being demonstrated at the ballot,” she said. “Realignment was enacted through the Legislature and at the time the common-sense thinking was that the public may not be ready for criminal justice reform. But what we found out through Prop. 47 and Prop. 57 is the reverse.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cp>The six top candidates running to be California’s next governor clashed along predictable party lines Tuesday night, at what is likely to be the most consequential debate ahead of the state’s June 5 primary election.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Perhaps most surprisingly, few barbs were exchanged between front-runner Gavin Newsom and the three other Democrats in the race. In fact, most of the pointed attacks were exchanged by the two Republicans in the race, Orange County Assemblyman Travis Allen and San Diego businessman John Cox.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom and former Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa — who have repeatedly criticized one another on the campaign trail — stood directly next to one another on the stage of the California Theatre in San Jose. The two leading Democrats were surprisingly collegial, repeatedly agreeing on policy issues, including homelessness and early education.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Recent polls show Newsom with a healthy lead over all other candidates, followed by Cox, Villaraigosa and Allen. The other two candidates on the debate stage Tuesday night were Democrats John Chiang and Delaine Eastin, who have been trailing in polls. With California’s open primary system, the top two vote-getters June 5 will move on to the November runoff, regardless of party affiliation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom, asked if he’d rather see two Democrats or a Democrat and Republican on the November ballot, garnered laughs when he admitted he’d much prefer to face Cox or Allen over Villaraigosa or another Democrat.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“You know my position … either one of these will do,” he said. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On policy, most of the differences broke along party lines.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Democrats supported building housing, while still protecting environmental regulations that the Republicans blamed for the high cost of construction in California.

In fact, most of the pointed attacks were exchanged by the two Republicans in the race, Orange County Assemblyman Travis Allen and San Diego businessman John Cox.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom and former Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa — who have repeatedly criticized one another on the campaign trail — stood directly next to one another on the stage of the California Theatre in San Jose. The two leading Democrats were surprisingly collegial, repeatedly agreeing on policy issues, including homelessness and early education.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Recent polls show Newsom with a healthy lead over all other candidates, followed by Cox, Villaraigosa and Allen. The other two candidates on the debate stage Tuesday night were Democrats John Chiang and Delaine Eastin, who have been trailing in polls. With California’s open primary system, the top two vote-getters June 5 will move on to the November runoff, regardless of party affiliation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom, asked if he’d rather see two Democrats or a Democrat and Republican on the November ballot, garnered laughs when he admitted he’d much prefer to face Cox or Allen over Villaraigosa or another Democrat.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Since then, the industry has donated more than $600,000 to California political campaigns -- more than four times as much as it spent on politics in the state during the 2013-14 election campaigns.

Gavin Newsom, the front-runner in the race for governor, has raised more money from cannabis interests than any other California politician: at least $495,000 as of April. Newsom championed the legalization ballot measure and now talks about California rejecting the “war on marijuana” as part of his gubernatorial campaign.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of his opponents, state Treasurer John Chiang, is also touting his cannabis cred. A Democrat who has received at least $10,100 from marijuana interests, Chiang has highlighted his interest in creating a state bank that could serve cannabis businesses. He visited a San Francisco dispensary on April 20, then issued a press release calling the date “National Weed Day.” It included a photo of him examining a cannabis chocolate bar and a jar of buds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Attorney General Xavier Becerra has taken at least $21,000 from cannabis interests in his re-election campaign. It’s a marked difference from the last election for that office -- in 2014, then-Attorney General Kamala Harris reported no donations from marijuana businesses. She made a deliberate decision, an adviser said, to avoid contributions that could raise questions about her role as the state’s top law-enforcement officer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe src=\"https://e.infogram.com/77e304ef-ab83-4ddb-9dd4-3cf8b3dbc62f?src=embed\" title=\"marijuana money 3\" width=\"800\" height=\"1000\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"border:none;\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although marijuana remains illegal under federal law, attempts to ban contributions from the cannabis sector have been unsuccessful. The state of Illinois prohibited political contributions from weed businesses when it approved its medical marijuana law in 2013. But the ban was \u003ca href=\"http://www.chicagotribune.com/business/ct-medical-marijuana-campaign-contributions-0330-biz-20170330-story.html\">thrown out\u003c/a> last year by a federal judge who ruled it unconstitutional.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cannabis businesses in California now have several trade associations and a political action committee for raising money to dole out to politicians.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s just one tool folks in cannabis policy reform are using to move the conversation in a positive direction,” Lindsay Robinson, executive director of the California Cannabis Industry Association, said, referring to campaign contributions. That PAC has raised more than $290,000 since launching in 2014.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The goal we’re striving for is for cannabis businesses to be regulated and treated like any other business, taxed fairly and able to thrive in the market ... The political giving piece is important,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That point was illustrated back in the hearing room, where lawmakers were considering the bill to expand marijuana delivery services, authored by Sen. Ricardo Lara, a Democrat from Bell Gardens who has taken at least $18,900 from cannabis interests and is now running for state insurance commissioner.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Not every legislator who accepted marijuana contributions voted for the bill. Sen. Mike McGuire, a Healdsburg Democrat, took a $4,000 check from a marijuana delivery company last year but sided with the local governments that opposed limits on their power to ban delivery services.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, marijuana businesses that want to get ahead have to play politics, said Hilary Bricken, a Los Angeles attorney who specializes in cannabis law—and that generally means throwing some money around.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Cannabis has learned from Big Pharma, Big Alcohol and Big Tobacco that they have to step up in this way,” she said. “They would be stupid to not do what’s worked for the industries that came before them.\"\u003c/p>\n\n",

Newsom championed the legalization ballot measure and now talks about California rejecting the “war on marijuana” as part of his gubernatorial campaign.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of his opponents, state Treasurer John Chiang, is also touting his cannabis cred. A Democrat who has received at least $10,100 from marijuana interests, Chiang has highlighted his interest in creating a state bank that could serve cannabis businesses. He visited a San Francisco dispensary on April 20, then issued a press release calling the date “National Weed Day.” It included a photo of him examining a cannabis chocolate bar and a jar of buds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Attorney General Xavier Becerra has taken at least $21,000 from cannabis interests in his re-election campaign. It’s a marked difference from the last election for that office -- in 2014, then-Attorney General Kamala Harris reported no donations from marijuana businesses. She made a deliberate decision, an adviser said, to avoid contributions that could raise questions about her role as the state’s top law-enforcement officer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe src=\"https://e.infogram.com/77e304ef-ab83-4ddb-9dd4-3cf8b3dbc62f?src=embed\" title=\"marijuana money 3\" width=\"800\" height=\"1000\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"border:none;\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although marijuana remains illegal under federal law, attempts to ban contributions from the cannabis sector have been unsuccessful. The state of Illinois prohibited political contributions from weed businesses when it approved its medical marijuana law in 2013. But the ban was \u003ca href=\"http://www.chicagotribune.com/business/ct-medical-marijuana-campaign-contributions-0330-biz-20170330-story.html\">thrown out\u003c/a> last year by a federal judge who ruled it unconstitutional.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cannabis businesses in California now have several trade associations and a political action committee for raising money to dole out to politicians.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s just one tool folks in cannabis policy reform are using to move the conversation in a positive direction,” Lindsay Robinson, executive director of the California Cannabis Industry Association, said, referring to campaign contributions. That PAC has raised more than $290,000 since launching in 2014.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The goal we’re striving for is for cannabis businesses to be regulated and treated like any other business, taxed fairly and able to thrive in the market ... The political giving piece is important,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That point was illustrated back in the hearing room, where lawmakers were considering the bill to expand marijuana delivery services, authored by Sen. Ricardo Lara, a Democrat from Bell Gardens who has taken at least $18,900 from cannabis interests and is now running for state insurance commissioner.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Not every legislator who accepted marijuana contributions voted for the bill. Sen. Mike McGuire, a Healdsburg Democrat, took a $4,000 check from a marijuana delivery company last year but sided with the local governments that opposed limits on their power to ban delivery services.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, marijuana businesses that want to get ahead have to play politics, said Hilary Bricken, a Los Angeles attorney who specializes in cannabis law—and that generally means throwing some money around.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Cannabis has learned from Big Pharma, Big Alcohol and Big Tobacco that they have to step up in this way,” she said. “They would be stupid to not do what’s worked for the industries that came before them.\"\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

They show that the California Teachers Association asks if candidates will back more regulations for charters, which compete with traditional schools to attract students and the taxpayer funding that comes with them. Many charters employ non-union teachers, an element in the ongoing feud between charter supporters and teacher unions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The teachers association, which endorsed Newsom, also asks candidates if they will oppose using student test scores as an element in determining teacher salaries; support collective bargaining for school employees; and oppose replacing the pension system for public employees with a 401k-style retirement plan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Teachers association spokeswoman Claudia Briggs said the questionnaire is a tool meant to help union members only.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is their process,” she said. “Beyond their membership, it’s not a public document and there is no requirement to share it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The director of Sierra Club California similarly said the group’s members expect their questions and candidates’ answers to be kept private.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We have a policy of not talking about how they respond to the questionnaires because we promised them in advance we won’t do that,” Kathryn Phillips said, noting that the club instead \u003ca href=\"https://www.sierraclub.org/sites/www.sierraclub.org/files/sce/sierra-club-california/PDFs/Why_Sierra_Club_Endorses_Newsom.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">published\u003c/a> an explanation of why it endorsed Newsom.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some groups do not use questionnaires — but still pose questions that are hidden from the public. The California Business Roundtable, which includes 30 large corporations, interviews candidates about their positions on health care, budget and energy policy, then sends the answers to the member companies, said CBR President Rob Lapsley. He declined to say specifically what the group asks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other groups post blank questionnaires on their web sites but will not share candidates’ answers: the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association, an anti-tax group that has not yet endorsed a gubernatorial candidate, and the California Police Chiefs Association, which endorsed Villaraigosa.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One outlier to the secrecy trend is the National Union of Healthcare Workers, which endorsed Newsom and \u003ca href=\"http://nuhw.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/NUHW-Questionnaire-Newsom.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">published\u003c/a> its questionnaire with his answers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With groups across the political spectrum interested in holding politicians accountable, why not make the process public? Isn’t it supposed to be voters who wield that power in a democracy?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Steve Smith, spokesman for the California Labor Federation, said his group has batted the idea around. As an umbrella organization with many unions that are members, Smith said, the change couldn’t be made quickly. But they’ve discussed moving to a model where the questions — and candidates’ answers — are posted online for the world to see.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s a pretty broad process right now, but it’s an internal one,” Smith said. “Making it an external one is not out of the realm of possibility.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://calmatters.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u003cem>CALmatters.org\u003c/em>\u003c/a>\u003cem> is a nonprofit, nonpartisan media venture explaining California policies and politics.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

Many charters employ non-union teachers, an element in the ongoing feud between charter supporters and teacher unions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The teachers association, which endorsed Newsom, also asks candidates if they will oppose using student test scores as an element in determining teacher salaries; support collective bargaining for school employees; and oppose replacing the pension system for public employees with a 401k-style retirement plan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Teachers association spokeswoman Claudia Briggs said the questionnaire is a tool meant to help union members only.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is their process,” she said. “Beyond their membership, it’s not a public document and there is no requirement to share it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The director of Sierra Club California similarly said the group’s members expect their questions and candidates’ answers to be kept private.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We have a policy of not talking about how they respond to the questionnaires because we promised them in advance we won’t do that,” Kathryn Phillips said, noting that the club instead \u003ca href=\"https://www.sierraclub.org/sites/www.sierraclub.org/files/sce/sierra-club-california/PDFs/Why_Sierra_Club_Endorses_Newsom.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">published\u003c/a> an explanation of why it endorsed Newsom.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some groups do not use questionnaires — but still pose questions that are hidden from the public. The California Business Roundtable, which includes 30 large corporations, interviews candidates about their positions on health care, budget and energy policy, then sends the answers to the member companies, said CBR President Rob Lapsley. He declined to say specifically what the group asks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other groups post blank questionnaires on their web sites but will not share candidates’ answers: the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association, an anti-tax group that has not yet endorsed a gubernatorial candidate, and the California Police Chiefs Association, which endorsed Villaraigosa.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One outlier to the secrecy trend is the National Union of Healthcare Workers, which endorsed Newsom and \u003ca href=\"http://nuhw.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/NUHW-Questionnaire-Newsom.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">published\u003c/a> its questionnaire with his answers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With groups across the political spectrum interested in holding politicians accountable, why not make the process public? Isn’t it supposed to be voters who wield that power in a democracy?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Steve Smith, spokesman for the California Labor Federation, said his group has batted the idea around. As an umbrella organization with many unions that are members, Smith said, the change couldn’t be made quickly. But they’ve discussed moving to a model where the questions — and candidates’ answers — are posted online for the world to see.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s a pretty broad process right now, but it’s an internal one,” Smith said. “Making it an external one is not out of the realm of possibility.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

On single-payer health care, higher education funding, homelessness, and universal pre-school? “With respect”—as Newsom often says when he disagrees with someone—not so much.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s a balance that Newsom struck during a recent visit to CALmatters.
