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.",

But another one of his priorities, universal preschool, gets less support from Californians. Just 48 percent of adults said it should be a top priority for new state funding. There's more interest on the other end of the education spectrum. Fifty-three percent of adults believe the state should provide tuition-free community college.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All of these initiatives would be expensive, and Baldassare said there's no consensus on how to pay for them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"About half of Californians say that they're willing to pay higher taxes and have more services.

Half of adults believe children growing up today will be worse off financially than their parents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One thing people don't want to see their taxes spent on? High-speed rail.

The most pressing issue there is the future of work in the age of technology, an issue on which Newsom loves to pontificate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He’s a man we believe looks forward toward the future,” Wei said. “And that’s kind of the orientation we need, to solve big challenges facing workers in our economy. And our challenge is going to be to make sure that workers get uplifted by the use of technology, that technology can really be a tool to make workers’ lives easier, and not just to eliminate our jobs.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wei says that means making sure labor is at the table — a key player in the new administration. But at the same time, Newsom may be pressed by Republicans, business types and even some local officials to do something about mounting costs related to public employee retirement costs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another group hoping to be at the table — environmentalists, especially the so-called “leave it in the ground” lobby.

It’s gonna take guts. But we think he’s the guy to do it. We need Gavin Newsom to show bold leadership in saying, ‘OK, it’s time to reduce the influence and use of oil in California.’ ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And while children’s advocates and others appreciate the incremental progress made under Brown — for example, creating and then expanding a state earned income tax credit — Chris Hoene, executive director of the California Budget and Policy Center, said there’s more to be done.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This governor has made strides, but we’re still not back to where we were before the Great Recession,” Hoene said. “I would expect (the Legislature) to see whether a Gov. Newsom is perhaps willing to go a bit further than Gov. Brown was in general.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But what are Newsom’s priorities?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In addition to health care, he wants to tackle housing and childhood poverty, while expanding early childhood education. Of course all these issues have trade-offs, and many cost money. And eventually, that recession Jerry Brown has been warning about for six years will actually happen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So the new governor will have to do a serious balancing act with his supporters on the left to make sure their priorities — and his — don’t get forgotten.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

It’s about time, Democrats,” Newsom told the adoring crowd.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright\">\n\u003ch3>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11702465/gavin-newsom-elected-governor-of-california\">Gavin Newsom Elected Governor of California\u003c/a>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cfigure>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11702465/gavin-newsom-elected-governor-of-california\">\u003cimg decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/RS33135_Js5Ru3EQ-qut-1180x811.jpg\" alt=\"\">\u003c/a>\u003c/figure>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Single-payer is where state government essentially replaces insurance companies in paying health care providers. Last year, nurses were furious when a bill to advance single-payer died in the state Assembly and Gov. Jerry Brown expressed doubt the state could afford it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, with Newsom set to replace Brown as governor, Stephanie Roberson, legislative advocate with the California Nurses Association, hopes to move the single-payer ball down the field.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think for us, we all need to be in a room like-minded with the goal in mind of passing a single-payer system,” Roberson told KQED. “We have spent so much time sitting in a room saying that we’re for the system, but we don’t actually get there.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Roberson knows the opposition to single-payer is fierce — but she expects Newsom to make it happen. That said, nurses are also aware that he has in some ways backed away from the ironclad guarantee he gave nurses last year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You know, I understand that the lieutenant governor is talking to a lot of folks, a lot of people have his ear,” Roberson said. “We’re aware of what appears to be some backpedaling on behalf of Gavin Newsom.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11653162\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11653162\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/IMG_5130-e1519947739518-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"Jennifer Siebel Newsom, wife of Lt.

And our challenge is going to be to make sure that workers get uplifted by the use of technology, that technology can really be a tool to make workers’ lives easier, and not just to eliminate our jobs.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wei says that means making sure labor is at the table — a key player in the new administration. But at the same time, Newsom may be pressed by Republicans, business types and even some local officials to do something about mounting costs related to public employee retirement costs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cp>Californians appear likely to re-elect U.S. Sen. Dianne Feinstein and put Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom in the governor's office, according to a new poll. But the survey also shows voters are poised to reject two of the most controversial initiatives on the Nov. 6 ballot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Proposition 6, which would repeal recently enacted increases to gas and diesel taxes and the state's vehicle license fee, is trailing, 41 to 48 percent among likely voters, according to the Public Policy Institute of California (PPIC) survey. And a healthy majority of likely voters — 60 percent — say they oppose Proposition 10, a measure that would let local governments enact or expand rent control.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The poll, conducted between Oct. 12 and Oct. 21 among 1,704 likely California voters, shows Newsom, a Democrat, with an 11-point lead over his Republican opponent John Cox. Nearly half, 49 percent, told PPIC they would support Newsom, while 38 percent said they would vote for Cox; 10 percent remain undecided and 2 percent said they would not cast a vote for governor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom's edge is strongest among registered Democrats.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Every poll we've seen Gavin Newsom with a double-digit lead, and he continues to have a double-digit lead in this poll,\" PPIC President Mark Baldassare said. \"That race has not changed much in the last month of campaign activity.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Cox leads among Republicans and has a 5-point edge over Newsom — 43 to 38 percent — among independent voters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Baldassare said that, in general, independent voters in California seem to be fairly moderate and \"they're not ideologues.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There are things that they don't like about the Democratic and the Republican parties ... they don't like either party,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Feinstein, who has represented California in the U.S. Senate for 26 years, is leading her Democratic challenger, state Sen. Kevin de León, by 16 points — 43 percent to 27 percent. But many Republican and independent voters say they're unhappy with their choice of candidates, and a full 23 percent of voters volunteered to PPIC that they will skip this contest on the ballot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Baldassare said many of the voters who told PPIC they will not vote for a U.S. senator are Republicans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We believe that many of them will not vote in the U.S. Senate race because there are two Democrats,\" he said. \"And when we exclude the people who say they would not vote, Feinstein's lead is 20 points — 55 to 35 percent.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>PPIC also looked at how things are shaping up in the 11 congressional races deemed competitive by the nonpartisan Cook Political Report. In the aggregate, voters in those 11 districts slightly favor Republicans, 49 to 44 percent, but Baldassare said that doesn't mean the GOP will necessarily be successful in keeping those districts red.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"In those competitive House districts, when we break out those results we see a very closely divided electorate,\" he said. \"The margin of error is such that it means it's going to be very, very close. Nobody has a particular advantage right now in those races. And it's probably going to come down to how many people turn out to vote, how energized the Democrats are, and whether there are issues that energize Republican voters.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The poll reveals the tightrope that Democrats have to walk in those races, finding that a vast majority of Democrats (76 percent) want a congressional representative that pushes back against the Trump administration, while a bare majority (51 percent) of independents say they want someone who works with the president.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That means Democrats trying to oust Republican incumbents have the challenge of energizing their party base while not alienating more moderate independent voters, Baldassare said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"In those purple districts, it's not all about Trump and anti-Trump — it's more about issues that matter to voters,\" he said, citing the economy and health care as examples.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Baldassare said that Democrats running for congressional seats have to be mindful of the fact that their electorate may not see the race as all about Trump.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Not all voters in Orange County or San Diego or other purple districts are thinking that's what this election is about,\" he said. \"They might want different representation, but they also want someone that's going to make their lives better.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The poll, conducted in English and Spanish, has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.3 percent.\u003c/p>\n\n",

But the survey also shows voters are poised to reject two of the most controversial initiatives on the Nov. 6 ballot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Proposition 6, which would repeal recently enacted increases to gas and diesel taxes and the state's vehicle license fee, is trailing, 41 to 48 percent among likely voters, according to the Public Policy Institute of California (PPIC) survey. And a healthy majority of likely voters — 60 percent — say they oppose Proposition 10, a measure that would let local governments enact or expand rent control.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The poll, conducted between Oct. 12 and Oct. 21 among 1,704 likely California voters, shows Newsom, a Democrat, with an 11-point lead over his Republican opponent John Cox. Nearly half, 49 percent, told PPIC they would support Newsom, while 38 percent said they would vote for Cox; 10 percent remain undecided and 2 percent said they would not cast a vote for governor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom's edge is strongest among registered Democrats.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Every poll we've seen Gavin Newsom with a double-digit lead, and he continues to have a double-digit lead in this poll,\" PPIC President Mark Baldassare said. \"That race has not changed much in the last month of campaign activity.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Kevin de León, by 16 points — 43 percent to 27 percent. But many Republican and independent voters say they're unhappy with their choice of candidates, and a full 23 percent of voters volunteered to PPIC that they will skip this contest on the ballot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Baldassare said many of the voters who told PPIC they will not vote for a U.S. senator are Republicans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We believe that many of them will not vote in the U.S. Senate race because there are two Democrats,\" he said. \"And when we exclude the people who say they would not vote, Feinstein's lead is 20 points — 55 to 35 percent.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>PPIC also looked at how things are shaping up in the 11 congressional races deemed competitive by the nonpartisan Cook Political Report. In the aggregate, voters in those 11 districts slightly favor Republicans, 49 to 44 percent, but Baldassare said that doesn't mean the GOP will necessarily be successful in keeping those districts red.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"In those competitive House districts, when we break out those results we see a very closely divided electorate,\" he said. \"The margin of error is such that it means it's going to be very, very close. Nobody has a particular advantage right now in those races. And it's probably going to come down to how many people turn out to vote, how energized the Democrats are, and whether there are issues that energize Republican voters.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The poll reveals the tightrope that Democrats have to walk in those races, finding that a vast majority of Democrats (76 percent) want a congressional representative that pushes back against the Trump administration, while a bare majority (51 percent) of independents say they want someone who works with the president.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That means Democrats trying to oust Republican incumbents have the challenge of energizing their party base while not alienating more moderate independent voters, Baldassare said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"In those purple districts, it's not all about Trump and anti-Trump — it's more about issues that matter to voters,\" he said, citing the economy and health care as examples.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Baldassare said that Democrats running for congressional seats have to be mindful of the fact that their electorate may not see the race as all about Trump.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Not all voters in Orange County or San Diego or other purple districts are thinking that's what this election is about,\" he said. \"They might want different representation, but they also want someone that's going to make their lives better.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The poll, conducted in English and Spanish, has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.3 percent.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

"content": "\u003cp>Throughout his campaign for governor, Republican John Cox and his allies have criticized Democratic opponents for affairs they had while in office, condemning their behavior as potentially attracting harmful exposure. He’s said voters should “judge someone based upon what they’ve done in the past.” But Cox has also faced accusations of marital infidelity, KQED and KPCC have learned.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Details of an affair are alleged by Mr. Cox’s first wife in the court records of their divorce, which was filed in Illinois in 1997. KPCC and KQED obtained and reviewed more than 400 pages of documents from that case.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mr. Cox’s first wife, Nancy Cox, stated in a court filing that she discovered a home that she claimed he purchased to support another woman and her family while the two were still married. Ms. Cox wrote in that filing that the children told her about the other home in Longmeadow, Massachusetts, and that they’d met his girlfriend when they went to visit. The girlfriend is not identified in court records, and it’s unclear when their relationship first began.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ms. Cox also said that Mr. Cox wanted to remain married with the “understanding he would continue to maintain a relationship with the other woman in Massachusetts,” according to the court filings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m not interested in gutter politics,” Mr. Cox said when asked about the alleged affair. “I was separated from my wife.

In court documents, Mr. Cox denied that the house was purchased to further an affair, stating it was purchased almost a year after the divorce was filed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The details of Mr. Cox’s alleged affair stand in contrast to the attacks he and allies mounted along the campaign trail. In an interview with KQED in September, Cox took aim at Democratic opponent Gavin Newsom’s past marital conduct. “If you conduct yourself in a way that exposes you to extortion or to blackmail... that’s really hurting the people you’re representing,” Cox said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom admitted in 2007 to an affair with his appointments secretary, who also was married to his campaign manager. At the time, Newsom was separated from his first wife.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I had to own it,” Newsom \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11696701/gavin-newsom-on-his-childhood-personal-growth-and-teenage-wine-cellar\">told KQED\u003c/a> earlier this month. “I had to take responsibility. I had to be transparent.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Caroline Heldman, a politics professor at Occidental College, said most voters will forgive personal marital problems. But undecided voters could be turned off by the apparent hypocrisy of the Cox campaign.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“John Cox made this an issue,” Heldman said. “It was foolhardy to go after his competitors’ infidelities when he has this in the closet. It doesn’t seem prudent.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cox attacked Newsom about his affair when he introduced himself to voters in a debate for Republican candidates hosted by the \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfchronicle.com/politics/article/GOP-candidates-for-governor-tear-into-one-another-12557303.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">San Francisco Chronicle\u003c/a> in February.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I take issue with Mr. Newsom just passing it off as an indiscretion of his and a moral lapse,” Cox said. “It was far, far more than that. It was an endangerment to his position as a leader of this city.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As the primary election drew closer, a pro-Cox ad released in April targeted both Newsom and another candidate, Democrat Antonio Villaraigosa, for inappropriate relationships.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The ad, paid for by an independent expenditure organization supporting Cox called Restore Our Values, stated, “Newsom and Villaraigosa think the rules shouldn’t apply to them.” The ad continues, “They don’t want punishment. They want a promotion. Californians deserve better. John Cox for Governor.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While Villaraigosa was married to Corina Villaraigosa, he dated Telemundo television anchor Mirthala Salinas, and acknowledged the relationship in 2007, according to the Los Angeles Times. \"I take full responsibility for my actions,\" Villaraigosa told reporters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Cox campaign said they tried to pull the ad from the air — but not because of its content or tone. The campaign filed a cease-and-desist letter objecting to how the sponsors identified who had paid for it. Despite the letter, the ad continued to air for a week across the state on Fox News.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Heldman said Cox clearly benefited. According to an aggregate of polling results during that time, Cox’s popularity increased by 13 percent in that period.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It was a statewide buy,” Heldman said. “You could see after the ad hit the state, Cox’s numbers went up and ahead of Villaraigosa. It’s quite possible that Cox is still in the running because they attacked Villaraigosa’s infidelity.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When asked why he’s made his opponents' pasts a focus, Cox replied, “I’ve made some mistakes in my life. But that’s affected my personal life. I wasn’t the mayor of a major city.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He remained evasive when asked about his own marital record, turning the discussion instead to issues affecting the state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m focused on affordability,” he said. “I’m focused on building homes. I’m focused on a gas tax.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mr. Cox gave that response at a campaign event on Skid Row in Los Angeles this week. He walked away without answering additional questions. His campaign manager wouldn’t address Ms. Cox’s claim that her husband wanted to stay married to her while he continued another relationship.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Additional reporting by KQED's Michelle Wiley and Sonja Hutson.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

According to an aggregate of polling results during that time, Cox’s popularity increased by 13 percent in that period.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It was a statewide buy,” Heldman said. “You could see after the ad hit the state, Cox’s numbers went up and ahead of Villaraigosa. It’s quite possible that Cox is still in the running because they attacked Villaraigosa’s infidelity.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When asked why he’s made his opponents' pasts a focus, Cox replied, “I’ve made some mistakes in my life. But that’s affected my personal life. I wasn’t the mayor of a major city.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He remained evasive when asked about his own marital record, turning the discussion instead to issues affecting the state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m focused on affordability,” he said. “I’m focused on building homes. I’m focused on a gas tax.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mr. Cox gave that response at a campaign event on Skid Row in Los Angeles this week. He walked away without answering additional questions. His campaign manager wouldn’t address Ms. Cox’s claim that her husband wanted to stay married to her while he continued another relationship.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Additional reporting by KQED's Michelle Wiley and Sonja Hutson.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

"content": "\u003cp>Minutes before the start of \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11697413/gavin-newsom-john-cox-spar-on-housing-criminal-justice-in-wide-ranging-debate\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Monday morning's gubernatorial conversation\u003c/a> between Republican John Cox and Democrat Gavin Newsom, there was a debate about the debate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cox complained that Newsom had only agreed to one debate. Newsom countered that Cox had backed out of a CNN debate because he didn't like the inclusion of national issues.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As soon as the hour-long debate ended, Cox was still unhappy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Why,\" he said, \"did we talk about gay marriage and not education or the cost of living in California?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fifteen minutes later a press release from the John Cox for Governor campaign landed in reporters' mailbox. Headline: Gubernatorial Debate -- No Healthcare?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cox wasn't the only critic. On Tuesday morning, a newsletter from David Crane, president of the group Govern for California, which advocates for charter schools and public employee pension reform, declared the hour-long discussion a failure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"To our disappointment there wasn't a single question about the poor performance of the two major enterprises run by the State of California: K-12 and Medi-Cal,\" he wrote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To a certain extent, I agree. And I moderated the debate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We \u003cem>did\u003c/em> cover housing, immigration, sanctuary laws, guns, climate change, Brett Kavanaugh's confirmation to the Supreme Court and more. And to be clear, I was prepared with questions about unfunded pension liabilities, health care, water and education.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But with all the competing considerations for questions and topics, there wasn't time to get to everything I wanted to discuss in the one hour allotted for the conversation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Which got me thinking: Why not develop a state version of the \u003ca href=\"http://www.debates.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Commission on Presidential Debates, \u003c/a>a nonprofit, nonpartisan entity created in 1987 to plan and execute debates between the top presidential and vice-presidential candidates? Each presidential year since 1988, they've produced the prime-time broadcasts after determining the time, place and formats of the debates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Republican and Democratic parties and their nominees only have a limited role in negotiating the details, and they're not obligated to participate. But they \u003cem>do\u003c/em>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Commission on Presidential Debates was created to put certainty into the debate schedules of the presidential nominees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"They operated under the theory that if you build it they will come. Lo and behold most candidates have bought into that proposition,\" said Mike McCurry, former press secretary to President Bill Clinton and former co-chair of the debate commission.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McCurry said the key was having a prestigious, bipartisan commission that commanded respect of the two major parties.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I can easily imagine that in a state like California you could have a blue ribbon group that comes together and says, 'We’re going to create a structure for this.' There's absolutely no reason that couldn’t happen,\" McCurry said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He added that having buy-in from major media promising to air the debate live creates a political cost to candidates who decline to debate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"That might be the critical element here,\" McCurry said. He also suggested holding the debates at universities or colleges where students and faculty can be involved.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Arizona, the Citizens Clean Elections Commission sponsors statewide and legislative debates, but only if there's at least one candidate who abides by \"clean\" campaign finance rules in which they get public funding in exchange for agreeing not to take special-interest or high-dollar private contributions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"New York City requires any candidate who accepts public funding for citywide office to participate in debates,\" said Kati Phillips, a spokeswoman for California Common Cause. They've spent three years trying to develop a similar model in Los Angeles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We are one vote away from requiring all city council and citywide candidates to participate in a debate or town hall to qualify for public financing,\" Phillips said. \"Previously the law had a loophole — candidates just had to agree to a debate, not actually show up!\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Currently, the terms of gubernatorial debates and whether or not they happen are largely dictated by the front-runner.

On Tuesday morning, a newsletter from David Crane, president of the group Govern for California, which advocates for charter schools and public employee pension reform, declared the hour-long discussion a failure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"To our disappointment there wasn't a single question about the poor performance of the two major enterprises run by the State of California: K-12 and Medi-Cal,\" he wrote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To a certain extent, I agree. And I moderated the debate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We \u003cem>did\u003c/em> cover housing, immigration, sanctuary laws, guns, climate change, Brett Kavanaugh's confirmation to the Supreme Court and more. And to be clear, I was prepared with questions about unfunded pension liabilities, health care, water and education.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But with all the competing considerations for questions and topics, there wasn't time to get to everything I wanted to discuss in the one hour allotted for the conversation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Which got me thinking: Why not develop a state version of the \u003ca href=\"http://www.debates.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Commission on Presidential Debates, \u003c/a>a nonprofit, nonpartisan entity created in 1987 to plan and execute debates between the top presidential and vice-presidential candidates? Each presidential year since 1988, they've produced the prime-time broadcasts after determining the time, place and formats of the debates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Republican and Democratic parties and their nominees only have a limited role in negotiating the details, and they're not obligated to participate. But they \u003cem>do\u003c/em>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Commission on Presidential Debates was created to put certainty into the debate schedules of the presidential nominees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"They operated under the theory that if you build it they will come. Lo and behold most candidates have bought into that proposition,\" said Mike McCurry, former press secretary to President Bill Clinton and former co-chair of the debate commission.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McCurry said the key was having a prestigious, bipartisan commission that commanded respect of the two major parties.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I can easily imagine that in a state like California you could have a blue ribbon group that comes together and says, 'We’re going to create a structure for this.' There's absolutely no reason that couldn’t happen,\" McCurry said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He added that having buy-in from major media promising to air the debate live creates a political cost to candidates who decline to debate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"That might be the critical element here,\" McCurry said. He also suggested holding the debates at universities or colleges where students and faculty can be involved.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Arizona, the Citizens Clean Elections Commission sponsors statewide and legislative debates, but only if there's at least one candidate who abides by \"clean\" campaign finance rules in which they get public funding in exchange for agreeing not to take special-interest or high-dollar private contributions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"New York City requires any candidate who accepts public funding for citywide office to participate in debates,\" said Kati Phillips, a spokeswoman for California Common Cause. They've spent three years trying to develop a similar model in Los Angeles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We are one vote away from requiring all city council and citywide candidates to participate in a debate or town hall to qualify for public financing,\" Phillips said. \"Previously the law had a loophole — candidates just had to agree to a debate, not actually show up!\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Currently, the terms of gubernatorial debates and whether or not they happen are largely dictated by the front-runner. Conventional wisdom says debates are more likely to help the challenger or the candidate who is behind in the polls.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's true there were plenty of debates before the June primary, including a televised debate in San Jose with the six top-polling candidates for governor.

One suggestion, he posited, was withholding transportation funding to communities that don't build enough new housing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I hope you can compare and contrast our proposals, our specific tangible plans, because there is a profound contrast in the two projects.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Unlike Cox, who believes municipalities should ultimately maintain authority over local development decisions, Newsom made a case for adjusting the balance of power between state and local governments, and using tax incentives to “reward good local actions and discourage the bad.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think you also have to be a bit punitive as it relates to local government,\" he added.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom argued that California's tight cap on property taxes actually gives cities a “perverse disincentive” to build more housing, a reference to Proposition 13, the landmark 1978 voter-approved measure that placed strict caps on state property taxes, making them some of the lowest in the country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We would like to have that debate about reallocating that tax base,” he said, adding that “everything is on the table,” including a possible re-examination of Prop 13.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cox, though, was quick to push back on the idea of more intervention from Sacramento.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“All these plans don’t mean a thing if we can’t change a lot of these laws that are adding to the costs, that are driving housing prices and apartment prices through the roof,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\n",

But when pressed, Cox had this to say:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I certainly favor transparency, but I think we have to work more with our law enforcement and give them the tools and the ability to deal with particular situations,\" he said. \"I think there has to be a lot more communication.

Jerry Brown: One to eliminate cash bail and two others that will allow the public more access to police records.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cox said he wouldn't have signed any of the bills, and pivoted to attack Newsom's record as mayor of San Francisco, citing crime and homelessness in the city. But when pressed, Cox had this to say:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I certainly favor transparency, but I think we have to work more with our law enforcement and give them the tools and the ability to deal with particular situations,\" he said. \"I think there has to be a lot more communication. I think we have to foster that. But going after the police and opening up private personnel records I think... just kind of creates a fishing expedition for trial lawyers.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom said he supports all of the criminal justice measures Brown has overseen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I don't know how you can be pro-transparency and oppose that bill,\" Newsom said, referring to Senate Bill 1421, which will force police departments to make public records when police officers are found to have engaged in misconduct. \"Twenty seven states provide 'some access' to those records.
