In just 24 hours, Harris has received a growing number of endorsements from California Democratic leaders, including \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11996704/former-speaker-nancy-pelosi-endorses-kamala-harris-for-president\">former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi\u003c/a>, Gov. Gavin Newsom and U.S. Sen. Alex Padilla, and appears to be sailing smoothly toward the nomination when convention delegates meet in Chicago next month.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Endorsements from influential Latino leaders could be critical. Latinos are projected to make up nearly 15% of all eligible voters nationwide in November, reaching 36.2 million — a new high after two decades of growth, according to \u003ca href=\"https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2024/01/10/key-facts-about-hispanic-eligible-voters-in-2024/\">the Pew Research Center\u003c/a>. California is home to the largest share, with a quarter of the nation’s Latino eligible voters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And given the community’s youth, every election cycle sees a jump in new Latino voters; 17.5 million Latinos are expected to cast a ballot this year, a quarter of them for the first time, \u003ca href=\"https://unidosus.org/blog/2024/05/06/latino-voters-will-play-decisive-role-in-2024/\">according to UnidosUS\u003c/a>, the nation’s largest Latino civil rights and advocacy organization.[aside postID=news_11996665 hero='https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/07/PresidentJoeBiden2024-1020x694.jpg']UnidosUS Action Fund, the organization’s political arm, endorsed Harris on Monday in \u003ca href=\"https://x.com/UnidosUSAF/status/1815357245317615992\">a post\u003c/a> on X and urged “all Latinos and all Americans to support Kamala Harris for President.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We are excited, and I think, from the reaction you’re seeing sort of on the grassroots level and on social media today, the Latino community is excited,” Rafael Collazo, executive director at UnidosUS Action Fund, told KQED.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Vice President Harris has a proven track record of leadership dating back 15 plus years in her various leadership positions representing California. And she’s been a trusted partner that we believe will continue to open doors of opportunities and access for the Latino community around economics and a variety of issues that Latinos care about,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Biden was expected to tout a low unemployment rate among Latinos during a keynote \u003ca href=\"https://unidosus.org/press-releases/president-biden-to-keynote-final-day-of-unidosus-annual-conference/\">address\u003c/a> at the organization’s annual conference earlier this month in Las Vegas, part of his efforts to court the Latino vote. However, the president \u003ca href=\"https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/watch-live-biden-talks-about-protections-for-u-s-citizens-spouses-at-unidosus-conference\">missed\u003c/a> the appearance after he tested positive for COVID-19.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Collazo said the organizations’ own polling suggests the top concern for most Latino voters is the rising cost of living and other economic anxieties. Abortion rights and a “balanced approach” to the southern border are also important issues, Collazo said, with most supporting a legalization pathway for longtime undocumented immigrants who have a positive impact on the country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Even Latinos that are more conservative on border enforcement issues largely reject the demonization of Latino immigrants … and they’re not in favor of mass deportation, which was essentially the centerpiece for the [Republican National Convention] last week,” Collazo said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last month, Biden announced a new \u003ca href=\"https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases/2024/06/18/fact-sheet-president-biden-announces-new-actions-to-keep-families-together/\">executive action\u003c/a> that will help eligible undocumented spouses and children of U.S. citizens to apply for lawful permanent residence without leaving the country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some organizations that advocate for immigrant rights, such as the American Civil Liberties Union, have also been critical of and \u003ca href=\"https://www.aclu.org/press-releases/immigrants-rights-groups-sue-biden-administration-over-new-anti-asylum-rule\">sued\u003c/a> the Biden administration over its attempts to restrict access to asylum for immigrants who cross the border unlawfully.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Republicans have already \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2024/07/22/nx-s1-5048053/gop-takes-aim-at-harris-even-though-she-doesnt-have-the-nomination-yet#:~:text=Transcript-,While%20Vice%20President%20Harris%20has%20yet%20to%20secure%20the%20Democratic,troubles%2C%20including%20immigration%20and%20inflation.\">started running ads\u003c/a> against Harris over the administration’s handling of the southern border.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

She accused Newsom of acting rashly and said he disregarded how the negotiations played out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I hope the governor will get the facts and call us,” Price said at her own press conference on July 11.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom first announced his plan to provide the Alameda DA’s office with extra state attorneys \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11975161/newsom-to-send-state-prosecutors-to-oakland-to-help-crack-down-on-rising-crime\">in February.\u003c/a> The plan was modeled after a \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfchronicle.com/politics/article/newsom-fentanyl-drug-crisis-sf-breed-tenderloin-17911401.php\">similar partnership\u003c/a> agreement made with San Francisco’s District Attorney in 2023. The February announcement was timed to coincide with a deployment of California Highway Patrol officers to assist East Bay law enforcement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The plan was seemingly simple: The three California National Guard working in San Francisco would transition to Alameda County as they finished their assignments, according to Price. Because of limits on what military personnel can work on, the attorneys would only be able to assist in drug prosecutions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the time, Price said she welcomed the assistance, but details remained hazy about who the attorneys were, when they would arrive and how long they would stay in Alameda County. Price said she was notified of Newsom’s February plan one day before the public announcement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Price said there was initially confusion about how her office handles drug cases. The vast majority of drug cases follow what is called a horizontal prosecution model, which means attorneys are assigned to different parts of the court process. As a criminal case progresses, it moves from one attorney to the next. In any given case, for example, one attorney decides what charges to apply, another handles the arraignment of the defendant, another files preliminary motions and yet another manages the trial.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some serious drug cases are handled by a coalition of law enforcement officers and prosecutors known as the Alameda County Narcotics Task Force. Assistant District Attorney Michael Nieto represents the DA’s office on the task force. He works in a vertical prosecution model, which means he handles cases from charging to disposition.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Price said Col.

Col. Brandon Hill, a spokesperson for Cal Guard, said the offer was for one attorney. Hill said the idea was to get that attorney in place in the office and then assess the need to scale up or down.

At the end of June, Price announced Bruce had resigned. At a press conference on June 25, Price declined to say why Bruce, who was previously \u003ca href=\"https://www.marinij.com/2023/07/10/marin-files-detail-misconduct-allegations-against-senior-prosecutor/\">accused of misconduct\u003c/a> in the Marin District Attorney’s Office, resigned.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bruce and Noey did not respond to requests for comment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By the time Newsom announced he was rescinding the offer to the DA’s office on July 10, five months had passed since the announcement of the plan. It took two weeks for the San Francisco District Attorney’s Office to onboard Cal Guard attorneys, Hill said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Would I have wanted it to go faster? Of course. I want everything to go fast,” Price told KQED on Wednesday, adding that it regularly takes the county months to onboard new employees. “I think that there was not enough understanding about how our office works or how the county functions. We’re not the city and County of San Francisco, and that was their expectation.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Exactly how long Noey would have been in the office is a point of disagreement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Price said her understanding was that Noey was available from June 1 to Aug. 12 at the latest — 48 business days. According to Cal Guard, Noey would have been available for 60 days with the possibility of extending to 90. In his work email auto-response from the Placer County DA’s office, Noey said he expects to return to the county by July 29.[aside postID=news_11995937 hero='https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/12/GettyImages-1322370857-1020x680.jpg']“If we’re going to bring someone on and train them and embed them in the office, I would want them to be here longer,” Price said at her July 11 press conference. “I thought that it would be more effective to have a lawyer who is actually trained and able to continue the case beyond a short period of time.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Price also said there was a mismatch between the governor’s priorities and her own.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He has a focus on working with CHP to address drug cases.

These are the things that the residents of Alameda County, unfortunately, are experiencing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom made one comment that particularly irked Price.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The head of the narcotics unit actually has left,” Newsom said on July 11, referring to Nieto, who Newsom recently appointed to become a Superior Court Judge in Contra Costa County. “So now the unit has no supervisor and actually no personnel.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Price said the statement was misleading. The DA’s office doesn’t have a specific narcotics unit, and Nieto hasn’t left yet because his appointment has not been confirmed. Price said the statement created the impression that her office isn’t prosecuting drug crimes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We recognize that we have a substance abuse and an addiction problem in Alameda County, and we’re using all of our tools to address it, not just one lawyer,” Price said Wednesday. “That was ridiculous to say that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Price said missing out on potentially two to three months of support from a Cal Guard attorney “is not particularly significant.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We have our priorities, as does the governor,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>KQED’s \u003c/em>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/author/ahall\">\u003cem>Alex Hall \u003c/em>\u003c/a>\u003cem>contributed to the reporting\u003c/em>\u003cem>.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

Gavin Newsom is taking back state resources from local jurisdictions that don’t act on his priorities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Twelve days ago, Newsom \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11993611/newsom-to-quadruple-chp-deployment-in-oakland-ramping-up-states-policing-role\">rescinded an offer\u003c/a> to send a state attorney to the Alameda County District Attorney’s Office to assist with drug prosecutions, saying the offer had not been “enthusiastically embraced” by District Attorney Pamela Price.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then, last week, he revoked a $10 million grant for San Diego County to build tiny homes for people experiencing homelessness because, according to \u003ca href=\"https://www.politico.com/news/2024/07/16/newsom-withdraws-10m-tiny-homes-grant-for-san-diego-00168514\">reporting\u003c/a> by Politico, officials didn’t act fast enough to build the homes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom, who has faced criticism from conservatives on the state’s handling of homelessness and public safety, has ratcheted up his focus on these issues in recent months.

She accused Newsom of acting rashly and said he disregarded how the negotiations played out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I hope the governor will get the facts and call us,” Price said at her own press conference on July 11.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom first announced his plan to provide the Alameda DA’s office with extra state attorneys \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11975161/newsom-to-send-state-prosecutors-to-oakland-to-help-crack-down-on-rising-crime\">in February.\u003c/a> The plan was modeled after a \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfchronicle.com/politics/article/newsom-fentanyl-drug-crisis-sf-breed-tenderloin-17911401.php\">similar partnership\u003c/a> agreement made with San Francisco’s District Attorney in 2023. The February announcement was timed to coincide with a deployment of California Highway Patrol officers to assist East Bay law enforcement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The plan was seemingly simple: The three California National Guard working in San Francisco would transition to Alameda County as they finished their assignments, according to Price. Because of limits on what military personnel can work on, the attorneys would only be able to assist in drug prosecutions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the time, Price said she welcomed the assistance, but details remained hazy about who the attorneys were, when they would arrive and how long they would stay in Alameda County. Price said she was notified of Newsom’s February plan one day before the public announcement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Price said there was initially confusion about how her office handles drug cases. The vast majority of drug cases follow what is called a horizontal prosecution model, which means attorneys are assigned to different parts of the court process. As a criminal case progresses, it moves from one attorney to the next. In any given case, for example, one attorney decides what charges to apply, another handles the arraignment of the defendant, another files preliminary motions and yet another manages the trial.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some serious drug cases are handled by a coalition of law enforcement officers and prosecutors known as the Alameda County Narcotics Task Force. Assistant District Attorney Michael Nieto represents the DA’s office on the task force. He works in a vertical prosecution model, which means he handles cases from charging to disposition.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Price said Col. Mark Inaba, the Cal Guard attorney coordinating with her office, wanted the attorneys to work on serious drug cases and trials.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We don’t operate like that,” Price recalled telling Inaba in an interview with KQED.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2023, alleged drug crimes made up 4% of felony arrests in Alameda County, compared to nearly 18% in San Francisco, according to data from the state Department of Justice.

"description": "President Joe Biden announced he's dropping out of the 2024 election and threw his support behind Vice President Kamala Harris. It's a move that wholly upends this presidential race, which until now has been a contest between the two oldest nominees ever. This is all happening with just weeks left before the Democratic National Convention in Chicago and just 107 days before election day. On this special edition episode of Political Breakdown, Marisa, Scott and Guy discuss reactions to this news, whether Democrats will coalesce behind Harris, who she might pick as a running mate and what to expect next.",

Five of them are Republican-held districts that President Biden won in 2020. While California conservatives acknowledge that local candidates and district-specific factors will affect the November results, party activists are heading home from Wisconsin bursting with confidence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“California Republicans will be the reason a newly elected President Trump has a GOP House majority to help implement his agenda that will make California and America great again,” Patterson added.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With optimism high among party leaders, the focus shifts to key battlegrounds, where tight races could determine the GOP’s success. Among the closest watched seats are a pair of elections in the Central Valley, where GOP incumbents John Duarte and David Valadao will face challenges from the Democrats they defeated in 2022: former state Assemblymembers Adam Gray and Rudy Salas. Republicans are also looking to hold onto the seats held by Rep. Mike Garcia north of Los Angeles and Rep. Ken Calvert in the Inland Empire.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Orange County, seats currently occupied by Democratic Rep. Mike Levin and Rep. Katie Porter (who left her seat open after a failed Senate run) and Republican Rep. Michelle Steel and Rep. Young Kim are all in play.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For some Republican congressional candidates, the convention in Milwaukee offered an opportunity to network with delegates, national donors and scores of cameras.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s an opportunity to put themselves in front of national media, whether it’s traditional mainstream media and get some airtime there or whether it’s more conservative media that will help with fundraising and building their base across the country,” Republican strategist Tim Rosales said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Wednesday, Calvert shook hands with GOP delegates at a party luncheon at the Harley-Davidson Museum, before heading to the Discovery World science museum to speak to the Log Cabin Republicans, a group of LGBT party members.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Matt Gunderson, a businessman running against Levin in a coastal district spanning San Diego County to Orange County, hopped between interviews along media row at the UW-Milwaukee Panther Arena. He said family ties sealed his decision to attend the RNC.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I was born and raised in Wisconsin, and it’s likely if this convention was in another state, I wouldn’t have attended,” Gunderson said. “But, as a candidate for Congress, you know that money is the mother’s milk of politics. So I’m using this opportunity to reconnect with some old friends in Wisconsin and hopefully bring some Wisconsin money back to California.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11996399\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1024px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11996399\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/07/GettyImages-2162156999.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/07/GettyImages-2162156999.jpg 1024w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/07/GettyImages-2162156999-800x534.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/07/GettyImages-2162156999-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/07/GettyImages-2162156999-160x107.jpg 160w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Chairperson of the California Republican Party Jessica Millan Patterson speaks on the first day of the Republican National Convention at the Fiserv Forum on July 15, 2024, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. \u003ccite>(Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Other candidates in competitive House seats, such as Duarte, Kim and Valadao, made a different calculation: that the week would be better spent back home in their districts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Being in Milwaukee, it’s fine; it’s great to be in the spirit of the party, but … we can’t honestly waste a day,” said Randall Avila, executive director of the Orange County Republican Party. “So, you know, coming out here and spending a week is not going to be helpful to the campaign when they need to be out there meeting with voters and earning that support.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Besides, a convention swelling with adoration for Trump is an uncomfortable setting for some of the GOP House hopefuls.

Their candidates remain financially competitive with Republicans in the tightest districts — and have outraised GOP candidates in recent months.

Last year, the U.S. surgeon general released a report warning of \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2023/05/02/1173418268/loneliness-connection-mental-health-dementia-surgeon-general\">an epidemic of loneliness\u003c/a>, with about half of adults surveyed reporting measurable levels of loneliness, even before the COVID-19 pandemic. Isolation is bad for a person’s health and society because lonely people — especially young men — are vulnerable to the appeals of extreme groups.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wintemute, concerned by a spike in gun sales around the 2020 election that did not subside, surveyed Americans’ willingness to engage in political violence for the last two years. In 2022, almost a third of people he surveyed considered violence to be usually or always justified to advance at least one political objective. That dipped in 2023 but was still at around a quarter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wintemute’s findings led him to write \u003ca href=\"https://thehill.com/opinion/campaign/4731139-one-third-of-americans-think-political-violence-is-justifiable/\">an opinion column\u003c/a> last month in which he said that the country’s drift toward violence this year “will not correct itself” as the election approaches and that the majority of the public who reject political violence “need to make our opposition known, over and over and as publicly as possible.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re losing a sense of community,” he told KQED. “We’re becoming isolated. Given our findings and what’s going on in the news, I’ve been expecting on a daily basis that there would be an outbreak of political violence. And to be honest, just counting it lucky at the end of every day that it didn’t happen.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last weekend, it did.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Nobody predicted that it would be Donald Trump in a small town in Pennsylvania, with a 20-year-old kid using an AR-15,” Wintemute added. “But that something would happen — the people who knew most about the topic took it as a dead certainty.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

"content": "\u003cp>San Francisco Mayor London Breed plans to aggressively pursue clearing more encampments starting next month, now that a \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11993312/court-lifts-restrictions-on-sf-encampment-sweeps\">Supreme Court ruling\u003c/a> has made it easier for cities to remove tents and punish people for sleeping on sidewalks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Breed announced the August crackdown during a mayoral debate on Thursday hosted by the union representing San Francisco firefighters — one of the city’s most coveted union endorsements, given the group’s influence in public safety circles and among the everyday people they serve.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Effective August, we are going to be very aggressive and assertive in moving encampments, which may even include criminal penalties,” Breed told a room full of first responders pressing her and four other leading mayoral candidates about their homelessness plans. “Thank goodness for the change in the Supreme Court decision.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The June decision allows cities to enforce laws preventing people from sleeping outside, a major win for the mayoral hopefuls looking to assuage voters that they can take a firm stance in cleaning up the streets if they take office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While the ruling opens a legal path for law enforcement to conduct sweeps, advocates say the city woefully lacks shelter and affordable housing options for people to turn to after city workers ask them to move along. As of Thursday, there were \u003ca href=\"https://hsh.sfgov.org/services/how-to-get-services/accessing-temporary-shelter/adult-temporary-shelter/shelter-reservation-waitlist/\">698 applications\u003c/a> on the city’s temporary shelter waitlist.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Breed’s announcement came after criticism from opponent Mark Farrell, a former supervisor and interim mayor, who said her administration is not acting swiftly enough to remove encampments after the Supreme Court ruling.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Breed said her office is working with the city attorney and department heads to ensure city workers are trained in federal and local laws around removing encampments, including the city’s “bag-and-tag” policy requiring workers to label personal belongings at unattended encampments so people living there can pick up their items, rather than disposing them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/sydneyfjohnson/status/1813977428420919313?s=46\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2022, the Coalition on Homelessness \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11926891/unhoused-san-francisco-residents-sue-city-over-displacement-rights-violations\">sued the city\u003c/a> for failing to adhere to those policies and for not offering people alternative places to sleep before evicting them from encampments or sidewalks. A federal magistrate judge that year issued an order blocking the city from arresting people who refused to move when no other shelter options were available; however, the city was able to continue to clear encampments and did. Although that order was overturned following the Supreme Court ruling, the city must still adhere to its own bag-and-tag policies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What we don’t want to do is violate the law,” Breed said, adding that it can cost the city up to $20,000 “when we don’t get it right.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The firefighter’s union endorsed Breed in 2018 when she first ran for mayor. But on Thursday, it was Farrell who attracted loud applause for ideas like redirecting funding from city-contracted nonprofits to the Fire Departments, as well as tough-on-crime policing.[aside postID=news_11990177 hero='https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/06/240612-SFMayoralDebate-90-BL-1020x680.jpg']“Whether it’s voluntarily or involuntarily, let’s get people off the streets,” Farrell said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He touted clearing the city’s largest encampments while interim mayor, a position he held for about six months in 2018. But federal homelessness data show the overall number of people experiencing homelessness in San Francisco increased by 1,177 between 2017 and 2019, or nearly 17%.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nonprofit founder and Levi Strauss heir Daniel Lurie said he would focus on increasing accountability from departments tasked with responding to homelessness and, like Farrell, audit city nonprofits — a process already in the works.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There are a lot of people on this stage saying I’m going to audit all of the nonprofits on Day 1.

A federal magistrate judge that year issued an order blocking the city from arresting people who refused to move when no other shelter options were available; however, the city was able to continue to clear encampments and did.

Scott Wiener (D-San Francisco), who has received numerous death threats over his work advocating for LGBTQ equality and other issues.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under current state law, campaign funds can be used to pay for home or office security systems to protect a candidate or elected official, but only after a law enforcement agency has verified a threat. Security expenses are capped at $5,000, which has not been updated since 1993.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=202320240AB2041\">AB 2041\u003c/a>, authored by Assemblymember Mia Bonta (D-Oakland), would eliminate those limitations and allow for the use of campaign funds to pay for private security and other “tangible items related to security” for a candidate or elected official or their immediate family or staff.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bonta said she introduced the bill because of the harassment and intimidation she has faced while running for office and during her time in public service, including threats against her family. The attack on Trump over the weekend has renewed a spotlight on her efforts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What we saw on Saturday was proof that political violence continues to plague our democracy and reaffirms to me that we urgently need to allow state candidates to invest in their safety and fund security for themselves, their families, and their staff,” Bonta said in a statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“People on both sides of the aisle recognize that we must prioritize safety in this charged political climate,” she added.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gov. Gavin Newsom \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=202320240AB37\">vetoed\u003c/a> a version of Bonta’s proposal last year, saying it lacked clear guidance on what security expenses would be considered as a legitimate use of campaign funds. Bonta’s office said the current bill, which passed the Assembly and is expected to go before the Senate next month, has resolved those concerns. Newsom’s office declined to comment on the pending legislation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Several studies show that political violence is rising. In one 2024 \u003ca href=\"https://www.brennancenter.org/our-work/research-reports/intimidation-state-and-local-officeholders\">study\u003c/a> by the Brennan Center for Justice, state and local officeholders across the U.S. reported they faced more frequent and severe abuse in recent years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Almost 90% of the surveyed state lawmakers and over half of local officeholders said they experienced insults, stalking and more aggressive abuse. More than 40% of state legislators said they were the target of threats of harm or physical attacks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The intimidation impacted how elected officials went about their business, constraining how freely they interacted with their constituents and the kinds of policy positions they supported, according to the study’s authors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wiener, who identifies as gay and Jewish, said the more than a thousand death threats he’s received have often been fueled by the social media posts of far-right politicians and viral political conspiracies such as QAnon.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His home has been the \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11934374/state-sen-scott-wiener-target-of-another-death-threat\">target of bomb threats\u003c/a> that prompted SFPD searches.

Scott Wiener (D-San Francisco), who has received numerous death threats over his work advocating for LGBTQ equality and other issues.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under current state law, campaign funds can be used to pay for home or office security systems to protect a candidate or elected official, but only after a law enforcement agency has verified a threat. Security expenses are capped at $5,000, which has not been updated since 1993.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The attack on Trump over the weekend has renewed a spotlight on her efforts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What we saw on Saturday was proof that political violence continues to plague our democracy and reaffirms to me that we urgently need to allow state candidates to invest in their safety and fund security for themselves, their families, and their staff,” Bonta said in a statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“People on both sides of the aisle recognize that we must prioritize safety in this charged political climate,” she added.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gov. Gavin Newsom \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=202320240AB37\">vetoed\u003c/a> a version of Bonta’s proposal last year, saying it lacked clear guidance on what security expenses would be considered as a legitimate use of campaign funds. Bonta’s office said the current bill, which passed the Assembly and is expected to go before the Senate next month, has resolved those concerns. Newsom’s office declined to comment on the pending legislation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Several studies show that political violence is rising. In one 2024 \u003ca href=\"https://www.brennancenter.org/our-work/research-reports/intimidation-state-and-local-officeholders\">study\u003c/a> by the Brennan Center for Justice, state and local officeholders across the U.S. reported they faced more frequent and severe abuse in recent years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Almost 90% of the surveyed state lawmakers and over half of local officeholders said they experienced insults, stalking and more aggressive abuse. More than 40% of state legislators said they were the target of threats of harm or physical attacks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The intimidation impacted how elected officials went about their business, constraining how freely they interacted with their constituents and the kinds of policy positions they supported, according to the study’s authors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wiener, who identifies as gay and Jewish, said the more than a thousand death threats he’s received have often been fueled by the social media posts of far-right politicians and viral political conspiracies such as QAnon.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His home has been the \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11934374/state-sen-scott-wiener-target-of-another-death-threat\">target of bomb threats\u003c/a> that prompted SFPD searches. People suspected of at least two death threats have been criminally charged, Wiener said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s painful. I’ll admit that.
