During a recent swing through the Central Valley, he said 50 volunteers greeted him on a Tuesday morning to knock on doors for a swing district congressional campaign.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m not sure we would have seen the same excitement four to six weeks ago,” Hicks said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Will that excitement carry California Democrats through the week in Chicago? That’s what we’ll be watching, along with these other storylines at the DNC.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>How will Harris present her life story?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>While Harris has been on the national political stage for more than half a decade, how she shares her personal story is still evolving.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As Harris took the lead on the Biden administration’s response to the \u003cem>Dobbs\u003c/em> decision overturning \u003cem>Roe v. Wade\u003c/em> — and criticized Republican laws banning abortion even in cases of rape and incest — she increasingly shared a story from her high school years. Harris has said she was inspired to become a prosecutor after learning that her friend was being sexually abused by her father.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/forum/2010101906526/kamala-harriss-candidacy-puts-a-spotlight-on-mixed-raced-identity\">there’s her own identity\u003c/a>. As the first Black and South Asian woman to lead a presidential ticket, it will be interesting to see how Harris discusses her unique background and — as Hillary Clinton said in her 2016 DNC nominating speech — “putting a crack in that glass ceiling.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Not only is she the daughter of an immigrant from India who came over in 1958 or ‘59, and a father from Jamaica, but … she grew up in Oakland and Berkeley, but also in Canada and goes to Howard University,” Harris biographer Dan Morain \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11998922/biographer-dan-morain-on-harris-road-from-oakland-to-washington-d-c\">said in an interview on KQED’s Political Breakdown\u003c/a>. “She lived quite a varied life as a young person.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A recent CBS News poll suggests that Harris still has room to define her political north star. The survey found just 64% of registered voters knew what Harris stood for — as opposed to 86% for former President Donald Trump.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>How much will Harris lean into her California record?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The vice president’s supporters have quickly drawn the contrast between Harris, the prosecutor, and Trump, the convicted felon. Harris’ experience as attorney general in a border state has also shaped her campaign’s early messaging on immigration. But which parts of Harris’ political career in the Golden State will her supporters highlight at the convention? Will they tout her $25 billion \u003ca href=\"https://www.latimes.com/politics/la-pol-ca-senate-harris-banks-20161016-snap-story.html\">settlement with big banks\u003c/a> following the foreclosure crisis? Or her \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/10352855/corinthian-college-sell-off-no-deal-yet-for-california-students\">crackdown against for-profit Corinthian College\u003c/a>?

During a recent swing through the Central Valley, he said 50 volunteers greeted him on a Tuesday morning to knock on doors for a swing district congressional campaign.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

That’s what we’ll be watching, along with these other storylines at the DNC.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>How will Harris present her life story?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>While Harris has been on the national political stage for more than half a decade, how she shares her personal story is still evolving.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As Harris took the lead on the Biden administration’s response to the \u003cem>Dobbs\u003c/em> decision overturning \u003cem>Roe v. Wade\u003c/em> — and criticized Republican laws banning abortion even in cases of rape and incest — she increasingly shared a story from her high school years. Harris has said she was inspired to become a prosecutor after learning that her friend was being sexually abused by her father.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/forum/2010101906526/kamala-harriss-candidacy-puts-a-spotlight-on-mixed-raced-identity\">there’s her own identity\u003c/a>. As the first Black and South Asian woman to lead a presidential ticket, it will be interesting to see how Harris discusses her unique background and — as Hillary Clinton said in her 2016 DNC nominating speech — “putting a crack in that glass ceiling.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Not only is she the daughter of an immigrant from India who came over in 1958 or ‘59, and a father from Jamaica, but … she grew up in Oakland and Berkeley, but also in Canada and goes to Howard University,” Harris biographer Dan Morain \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11998922/biographer-dan-morain-on-harris-road-from-oakland-to-washington-d-c\">said in an interview on KQED’s Political Breakdown\u003c/a>. “She lived quite a varied life as a young person.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A recent CBS News poll suggests that Harris still has room to define her political north star. The survey found just 64% of registered voters knew what Harris stood for — as opposed to 86% for former President Donald Trump.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>How much will Harris lean into her California record?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The vice president’s supporters have quickly drawn the contrast between Harris, the prosecutor, and Trump, the convicted felon. Harris’ experience as attorney general in a border state has also shaped her campaign’s early messaging on immigration. But which parts of Harris’ political career in the Golden State will her supporters highlight at the convention? Will they tout her $25 billion \u003ca href=\"https://www.latimes.com/politics/la-pol-ca-senate-harris-banks-20161016-snap-story.html\">settlement with big banks\u003c/a> following the foreclosure crisis?

Of course, I would,” Farrell told KQED. “But it is what it is, and you have to play by those rules.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Increasing police is a top priority\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Farrell has been one of the loudest critics of incumbent London Breed’s ability to handle crime and drug-related issues in the city. “Our image under this mayor has been crushed,” he said, referring to high-profile robberies like at the city’s Louis Vuitton store in 2021.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Farrell views increasing the police force as the primary solution to those issues. He also supports efforts to remove the Police Oversight Commission, which could get slashed if a ballot measure to cut back commissions, which Farrell also supports, passes this November.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If we are going to be honest and bring our city forward and change our city for the better, we have to be honest about where we sit today,” he said, “And change our leadership in City Hall.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Vows to maintain aggressive approach to clearing homeless encampments\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Farrell highlights that during his tenure as interim mayor, the city successfully cleared major homeless encampments. As many have sprung back up, he said the city needs to continue aggressively clearing sidewalks of tents, even if people sleeping outside refuse offers of shelter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In 2018, we offered people shelter or housing, and if they said no, we took their tent encampment away,” Farrell said. “To me, you treat them with compassion and respect, but at the end of the day… our sidewalks are for everyone.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When pressed on the city’s shortage of shelter beds and lack of housing for every person currently sleeping outside, Farrell said he believes housing should be built “in every single neighborhood throughout San Francisco.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>He says his ethics complaints are a ‘smear’ effort by opponents\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Farrell defended his record when questioned about his past fine from the city’s Ethics Commission during his time as supervisor, and more recent allegations of improper financing through the commission reform ballot initiative.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Everything we have done in the course of this campaign has been vetted by and cleared by our attorneys,” Farrell said. “It’s all of my opponents really trying to distract from the real issues on the campaign.”[aside postID=\"news_11975607,news_12000386,news_11999653\" label=\"Related Stories\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To root out corruption across the city, Farrell proposes creating a new department to centralize and oversee all third-party contracts with for-profit and nonprofit organizations, which he believes have long operated “with their own agendas.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>An immigrant parent and a Catholic education shape who he is today\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>A son of a German immigrant, Farrell said learning to read and write his mother’s native language at Saturday school and spending time on family farms near the Baltic Sea gave him a unique perspective “very different from the urban environment I grew up in day to day.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Back in San Francisco, Farrell’s parents enrolled him in Catholic school, where he excelled in sports, an experience he said “really cut across” the city’s economic and social lines. Now raising his own children in San Francisco, Farrell has chosen to also send his kids to private schools. But in order for the whole city to function, he said, “we need to have a great public school system.”\u003c/p>\n\n",

Of course, I would,” Farrell told KQED. “But it is what it is, and you have to play by those rules.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Increasing police is a top priority\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Farrell has been one of the loudest critics of incumbent London Breed’s ability to handle crime and drug-related issues in the city. “Our image under this mayor has been crushed,” he said, referring to high-profile robberies like at the city’s Louis Vuitton store in 2021.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Farrell views increasing the police force as the primary solution to those issues. He also supports efforts to remove the Police Oversight Commission, which could get slashed if a ballot measure to cut back commissions, which Farrell also supports, passes this November.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If we are going to be honest and bring our city forward and change our city for the better, we have to be honest about where we sit today,” he said, “And change our leadership in City Hall.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Vows to maintain aggressive approach to clearing homeless encampments\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Farrell highlights that during his tenure as interim mayor, the city successfully cleared major homeless encampments. As many have sprung back up, he said the city needs to continue aggressively clearing sidewalks of tents, even if people sleeping outside refuse offers of shelter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In 2018, we offered people shelter or housing, and if they said no, we took their tent encampment away,” Farrell said. “To me, you treat them with compassion and respect, but at the end of the day… our sidewalks are for everyone.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When pressed on the city’s shortage of shelter beds and lack of housing for every person currently sleeping outside, Farrell said he believes housing should be built “in every single neighborhood throughout San Francisco.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>He says his ethics complaints are a ‘smear’ effort by opponents\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Farrell defended his record when questioned about his past fine from the city’s Ethics Commission during his time as supervisor, and more recent allegations of improper financing through the commission reform ballot initiative.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Everything we have done in the course of this campaign has been vetted by and cleared by our attorneys,” Farrell said. “It’s all of my opponents really trying to distract from the real issues on the campaign.”\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

I am a DNC delegate that was initially pledged to Biden and now I am pledged to Vice President Harris. This is my for the DNC convention. I was a delegate for Obama in 2012 and party in 2020. I chaired the Alameda County Democratic Party and was recently elected to the Berkeley City Council, and I am a Jewish refugee from Ukraine.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Igor Tregub: \u003c/strong>I had a winding path to eventually make it to the States. I first lived in Knoxville, Tennessee, and then different parts of Southern California and 21 years ago. I think to the day I started my undergraduate studies at UC Berkeley, majoring in mechanical engineering and political science and fell in love with the Berkeley community.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>And delegates are the people who represent the Democratic Party. Lots of them are people like Igor, local government officials or people just really involved in local politics who volunteer to represent their region at the convention. They also have input on the official party platform.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Igor Tregub: \u003c/strong>I think delegates are the conscience of the Democratic Party. There are different ways to become a delegate. But in all three elections, I was honored to have been elected by the electorate in the congressional district where I am based that. And so it was a vote of Democrats in that congressional district that have been able to send me to the last three DNC conventions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>Is this really your role as a delegate, sort of a volunteer thing, or do you get paid for it or, you know, how often are you meeting?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Igor Tregub: \u003c/strong>It’s a labor of love. We have to spend a lot of money to travel and get a hotel room. But it is it is a small price to pay for doing our part to defend democracy. I think it varies tool. In 2020, I remember as a party delegate, I was somewhat involved in different drafting committees to to provide certain inputs into what eventually became the DNC platform. I think it’s a little different when, well, it was going to be a reelection campaign for President Biden.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>I want to ask you about the last couple of months, Igor, which has been pretty crazy to say the least. I’m curious where you were when you learned the news that President Biden was dropping out of the race.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Igor Tregub: \u003c/strong>Yeah, I was just speaking on a zoom of Democrats. I was asked to be there to talk about the race that I just finished for city council. And towards the end of the zoom, the news dropped and it it was very bittersweet, I have to say.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>Delegates pledged their support to a certain candidate after the state votes in a caucus or primary. Long before the DNC even happens. So because President Biden won the California primary, they were pledged to him. But after he dropped out of the race, it left delegates with an open question Who would they pick as the party’s presidential nominee instead?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>Many quickly threw their support behind Vice President Kamala Harris. Biden endorsed Harris pretty quickly after after he dropped out of the race. But there was still that window of time when she gathered the support of the party. What did that look like for you on your end? As a as a delegate, it seemed like it was pretty fast.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Igor Tregub: \u003c/strong>It was very fast. I received an invitation. If it was an invitation, if I wanted to lend my name, committing my support. Now that President Biden has dropped out and passed the torch, committing it to Vice President Harris and I did that in a heartbeat. I was pleased at how smoothly that went where I think in the matter of a day, Vice President Harris amassed enough votes for California’s delegates for our state to declare our support for our hometown. Cheever.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Igor Tregub: \u003c/strong>I think the reason this happened so quickly is because California Democrats and Democrats in other states understand that this is a binary choice. We cannot have training wheels going into this election. And so it made sense.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>Well, I think it’s safe to say it’s been pretty turbulent times. It’s now a brand new race that perhaps no one predicted even a couple of months ago. What of the last few weeks been like for you, Igor? It also occurs to me that you were also just recently elected to the Berkeley City Council. You are new to this seat. I’m sure you’re doing a lot of work in the background, sort of adjusting to your new role. I mean, what have the last couple of weeks been like for you?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Igor Tregub: \u003c/strong>It’s been very hectic. I am not going to sugarcoat it. But. I think about what is at stake and. It’s such a privilege to be able to go to Chicago and be able to represent the community that I now serve in that way. The gravity of the situation in this time, in this moment is not lost on me either.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Igor Tregub: \u003c/strong>When I have family members and friends literally fighting on the front lines of democracy in Ukraine, whatever turbulence I have been going through is a very small price to pay to do my small part, to be a part of making history and defending and preserving democracy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>What is your main goal at the Democratic National Convention as a delegate?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Igor Tregub: \u003c/strong>My main goal is to show up. I am looking forward to building relationships. It is also an opportunity to do everything that I possibly can to then go back and organize, spread the message of what is at stake to those in my community and do my part to ensure that we not only elect the Harris Wallace ticket, but that they get the support that they need from a Democratic majority in the Senate in conquest and down ballot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>Why do you think people here in the Bay Area should tune in to the DNC this week when this episode airs, even if maybe they aren’t super plugged in to politics or maybe they’re even disillusioned with it?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Igor Tregub: \u003c/strong>I think there is probably going to be something there for all of them. Look, you know, there is a quote that has been playing in my mind often enough or particularly in the last couple of months since I’ve started this new well, politics is the art of the possible. And. What the Biden-Harris administration has been able to do is move mountains on policies that have made a real impact on everyday working families. Do we all want to see more progress faster? Absolutely.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Igor Tregub: \u003c/strong>And I joined the chorus of that. There is only one party that is invested in the American people in ensuring that the opportunities that I had, the way that Berkeley was able to become a home to me, this Jewish immigrant and refugee from Ukraine, that this is a place that everyone can call a loving home, where they are supported and where they have a safety net so that they can pursue their dreams, raise their kids if they choose to do that, and retire in dignity. Why?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>Well, Councilmember, thank you so much for making the time out of your busy schedule to chat with us. And safe travels to Chicago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Igor Tregub: \u003c/strong>Thank you so much.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>That was Igor Tregub, a Berkeley City Council member representing District four. He’s also a DNC delegate and chair of the Alameda County Democratic Party. This 27 minute conversation was cut down and edited by Alan Montecillo and produced and scored by me.

I think about what is at stake and. It’s such a privilege to be able to go to Chicago and be able to represent the community that I now serve in that way.

I am looking forward to building relationships. It is also an opportunity to do everything that I possibly can to then go back and organize, spread the message of what is at stake to those in my community and do my part to ensure that we not only elect the Harris Wallace ticket, but that they get the support that they need from a Democratic majority in the Senate in conquest and down ballot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>Why do you think people here in the Bay Area should tune in to the DNC this week when this episode airs, even if maybe they aren’t super plugged in to politics or maybe they’re even disillusioned with it?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Igor Tregub: \u003c/strong>I think there is probably going to be something there for all of them. Look, you know, there is a quote that has been playing in my mind often enough or particularly in the last couple of months since I’ve started this new well, politics is the art of the possible. And. What the Biden-Harris administration has been able to do is move mountains on policies that have made a real impact on everyday working families. Do we all want to see more progress faster? Absolutely.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Igor Tregub: \u003c/strong>And I joined the chorus of that. There is only one party that is invested in the American people in ensuring that the opportunities that I had, the way that Berkeley was able to become a home to me, this Jewish immigrant and refugee from Ukraine, that this is a place that everyone can call a loving home, where they are supported and where they have a safety net so that they can pursue their dreams, raise their kids if they choose to do that, and retire in dignity. Why?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>Well, Councilmember, thank you so much for making the time out of your busy schedule to chat with us.

But it’s unclear whether the governor’s action will deter voters from going further and passing Proposition 36, which would increase sentences for theft and drug crimes by rolling back pieces of Proposition 47, a criminal justice reform measure passed by voters a decade ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Friday, Newsom launched the opening salvo in the campaign, arguing that Proposition 36 “takes us back to the 1980s, the war on drugs, mass incarceration.

I wouldn’t want to be on their side of this,” Newsom added. “It’s such a devastating setback in this state; the impact on poor folks, the impact on Black and brown communities, it’s next level — and it doesn’t address what they’re saying.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom signed 10 bills inside a Home Depot in San José, where he criticized the city’s mayor, Matt Mahan, who has emerged as a leading supporter of Proposition 36.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Proposition 36 has gained recent momentum, with a new poll from UC Berkeley’s Institute for Governmental Studies showing that 56% of likely voters support the measure.

It would also allow law enforcement to bundle related thefts into a grand theft charge if the items’ value surpasses the felony threshold of $950 set by Proposition 47.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another bill in the package, \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=202320240SB905\">Senate Bill 905\u003c/a>, would remove the requirement that prosecutors prove a car was locked to get an auto burglary conviction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other proposals signed Friday are more directly aimed at large-scale organized retail theft. Newsom signed bills to place sentencing enhancements on large theft operations and extend the life of a regional property crimes task force.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">[aside postID=news_11990587 hero='https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/06/GettyImages-1498501086-1020x679.jpg']\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“All of these things in this package [are] going to help retailers, law enforcement and district attorneys be able to provide the consequences for the behaviors that we need to make sure that people don’t continue doing this behavior,” said Rachel Michelin, president and CEO of the California Retailers Association.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Supporters of Proposition 36 argue that stricter punishments are necessary to prevent shoplifting and drug crimes — and to compel drug users into treatment. Participation in drug courts, which require treatment in exchange for reduced punishment, has dropped significantly since the \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11975692/prop-47s-impact-on-californias-criminal-justice-system\">passage of Proposition 47\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Proposition 36 would require Californians convicted multiple times of drug possession to complete treatment to potentially avoid prison time. It would also punish shoplifting based on the frequency of the crime, rather than the value of the stolen goods. Under the measure, a third theft offense could be punishable with a felony, regardless of what was stolen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“State leaders have had years to address California’s crime and drug crises, yet little has been done to tackle the root causes,” a spokesperson for the Yes on Proposition 36 campaign said in a statement. “These newly passed legislative bills are half measures, failing to address the fundamental issues of habitual repeat theft, the fentanyl epidemic, and the ongoing homelessness crisis, which remains unaddressed due to the lack of strong incentives for drug treatment.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many of the high-profile proposals signed by Newsom won bipartisan support in the state Legislature. But the path to the governor’s desk wasn’t simple. In an attempt to blunt support for Proposition 36 and keep it off the ballot, Newsom and legislative leaders inserted language into the retail theft bills that would have nullified them if the ballot measure passed. The governor also worked to craft a competing public safety ballot measure, but could not secure legislative support before the ballot deadline.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When the architects of Proposition 36 held firm in their push to place the initiative on the ballot, the poison pill language was removed from the legislative package.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

Participation in drug courts, which require treatment in exchange for reduced punishment, has dropped significantly since the \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11975692/prop-47s-impact-on-californias-criminal-justice-system\">passage of Proposition 47\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Proposition 36 would require Californians convicted multiple times of drug possession to complete treatment to potentially avoid prison time. It would also punish shoplifting based on the frequency of the crime, rather than the value of the stolen goods. Under the measure, a third theft offense could be punishable with a felony, regardless of what was stolen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“State leaders have had years to address California’s crime and drug crises, yet little has been done to tackle the root causes,” a spokesperson for the Yes on Proposition 36 campaign said in a statement. “These newly passed legislative bills are half measures, failing to address the fundamental issues of habitual repeat theft, the fentanyl epidemic, and the ongoing homelessness crisis, which remains unaddressed due to the lack of strong incentives for drug treatment.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many of the high-profile proposals signed by Newsom won bipartisan support in the state Legislature. But the path to the governor’s desk wasn’t simple. In an attempt to blunt support for Proposition 36 and keep it off the ballot, Newsom and legislative leaders inserted language into the retail theft bills that would have nullified them if the ballot measure passed. The governor also worked to craft a competing public safety ballot measure, but could not secure legislative support before the ballot deadline.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When the architects of Proposition 36 held firm in their push to place the initiative on the ballot, the poison pill language was removed from the legislative package.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

Laura Dougherty, director of legal affairs for the association, said the label will remain as is.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s unfortunate for the voters,” Dougherty said, adding that if the proposition passes, “It allows an increase in property taxes that is not consistent with the spirit of Proposition 13 and is not consistent with the protection that we’ve had since 1879, which is to make sure that bonds require two-thirds voter approval.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the meeting on Wednesday, many supporters of Regional Measure 4 vowed to turn their attention to Proposition 5.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We need to focus all of our efforts there to getting [Proposition 5] passed,” said Amie Fishman, executive director of the Non-Profit Housing Association of Northern California. “We knew that doing them both together would be hard. And right now, we have to pivot to a sequential plan.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Critics, on the other hand, lauded the authority’s decision to pull the measure. San Mateo County Supervisor Ray Mueller said now was not the time to ask residents to dig into their pockets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Inflation is crushing our region’s residents. There’s a reason the polling for this measure has been negative,” he said. “It simply is a terrible time to ask residents to pay more taxes.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Johnny Khamis, a former San Jose city council member and lead plaintiff in the lawsuit against the housing finance authority, pointed to a \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11982237/california-audit-questions-state-homelessness-spending-san-jose\">recent state audit,\u003c/a> which blasted the city for failing to adequately track whether its current spending to address homelessness is actually working.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Governments, even when they have money, have not proven to be good stewards of their money,” Khamis told KQED. “There’s no accountability here.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Members of the authority said they planned to reintroduce some version of the bond measure in 2026.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"c-message_kit__gutter\">\n\u003cdiv class=\"c-message_kit__gutter__right\" role=\"presentation\" data-qa=\"message_content\">\n\u003cdiv class=\"c-message_kit__blocks c-message_kit__blocks--rich_text\">\n\u003cdiv class=\"c-message__message_blocks c-message__message_blocks--rich_text\" data-qa=\"message-text\">\n\u003cdiv class=\"p-block_kit_renderer\" data-qa=\"block-kit-renderer\">\n\u003cdiv class=\"p-block_kit_renderer__block_wrapper p-block_kit_renderer__block_wrapper--first\">\n\u003cdiv class=\"p-rich_text_block\" dir=\"auto\">\n\u003cdiv class=\"p-rich_text_section\">\u003ci data-stringify-type=\"italic\">Aug. 15: An earlier version of this report incorrectly stated a judge agreed with a lawsuit against the bond measure.

J.D. Vance by 25 points — up from an 18-point advantage in the February IGS poll when Biden topped the ticket. Harris is making big gains across the board, but especially with younger voters, independents and the state’s Black and Latino voters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For example, among voters 18 to 29, for whom Biden was a particularly tough sell, Harris leads Trump by a whopping 73% to 22%.

In previous IGS surveys, California voters showed tepid support for Harris. However, in this poll, 58% of all voters view her favorably, while 40% have an unfavorable view.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think she’s rallied the kind of support of many party members who just hadn’t had a real opinion of her before and hadn’t seen her in action this way,” Schickler said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The bump in support for the Democratic ticket transcends demographics and party registration. Not only do 90% of Democrats support the Harris-Walz ticket — compared to 79% for Biden-Harris in the February IGS poll — but independent or “no party preference” voters have also swung Harris’ way. In the February survey, 25% of independent voters were undecided. Now, just 9% are, and nearly all those who made a decision went for Harris.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/by-party.png\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-12000208\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/by-party.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1648\" height=\"1028\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/by-party.png 1648w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/by-party-800x499.png 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/by-party-1020x636.png 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/by-party-160x100.png 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/by-party-1536x958.png 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1648px) 100vw, 1648px\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump’s running mate isn’t helping his ticket.

By comparison, 56% of voters are “enthusiastic” about Walz and another 25% are “satisfied.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One thing voters agree on across the board: 88% said Biden’s decision to drop out of the race was good for the country, while just 4% think it was bad.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Harris’ three-week run of positive coverage, combined with Trump’s inability to tarnish the vice president’s luster, has reportedly left the former president fuming. But Schickler said Republicans are surely preparing to launch negative ads against her.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The Trump campaign will certainly try to heighten fears about Harris, and certainly, her race and gender may be implicated in some of those efforts,” he said. “But at least from what we’ve seen so far, Harris has been quite successful in essentially getting the momentum and the kind of positive energy from this historic candidacy while not raising the kind of backlash that many people fear.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If voter enthusiasm remains high, candidates down the ballot will benefit, Schickler said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Now that we see Democrats energized, at least on an even footing with Republicans when it comes to (voter) turnout, that could make a decisive difference in the battle to control Congress,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California Democrats hope to flip at least four seats in the U.S. House of Representatives while also defending an open seat in Orange County currently held by Rep. Katie Porter, who lost her bid for the U.S. Senate earlier this year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Harris campaign said it will begin spelling out a more specific policy agenda beyond what she inherited from Biden.

Tim Walz, are making dramatic inroads with voters who were lukewarm about Biden when Harris was his number two.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Overall, the IGS poll shows the Harris-Walz ticket leading former President Donald Trump and Ohio Sen. J.D. Vance by 25 points — up from an 18-point advantage in the February IGS poll when Biden topped the ticket. Harris is making big gains across the board, but especially with younger voters, independents and the state’s Black and Latino voters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For example, among voters 18 to 29, for whom Biden was a particularly tough sell, Harris leads Trump by a whopping 73% to 22%. That’s an improvement of 23 percentage points for Harris over Biden.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/by-age_final.png\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-12000364\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/by-age_final.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1648\" height=\"1207\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/by-age_final.png 1648w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/by-age_final-800x586.png 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/by-age_final-1020x747.png 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/by-age_final-160x117.png 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/by-age_final-1536x1125.png 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1648px) 100vw, 1648px\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Similarly, Black voters, who supported the Biden-Harris ticket by 58% to 23%, now favor Harris-Walz by 74% to 15%, an uptick of 16 percentage points toward the Democratic nominee.

In previous IGS surveys, California voters showed tepid support for Harris. However, in this poll, 58% of all voters view her favorably, while 40% have an unfavorable view.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think she’s rallied the kind of support of many party members who just hadn’t had a real opinion of her before and hadn’t seen her in action this way,” Schickler said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The bump in support for the Democratic ticket transcends demographics and party registration. Not only do 90% of Democrats support the Harris-Walz ticket — compared to 79% for Biden-Harris in the February IGS poll — but independent or “no party preference” voters have also swung Harris’ way. In the February survey, 25% of independent voters were undecided. Now, just 9% are, and nearly all those who made a decision went for Harris.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/by-party.png\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-12000208\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/by-party.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1648\" height=\"1028\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/by-party.png 1648w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/by-party-800x499.png 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/by-party-1020x636.png 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/by-party-160x100.png 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/by-party-1536x958.png 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1648px) 100vw, 1648px\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump’s running mate isn’t helping his ticket. By a 2 to 1 margin, voters have an unfavorable view of Vance, whose earlier comments on people without children and “childless cat ladies” have had him in hot water for weeks. By comparison, 56% of voters are “enthusiastic” about Walz and another 25% are “satisfied.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One thing voters agree on across the board: 88% said Biden’s decision to drop out of the race was good for the country, while just 4% think it was bad.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Harris’ three-week run of positive coverage, combined with Trump’s inability to tarnish the vice president’s luster, has reportedly left the former president fuming. But Schickler said Republicans are surely preparing to launch negative ads against her.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The Trump campaign will certainly try to heighten fears about Harris, and certainly, her race and gender may be implicated in some of those efforts,” he said. “But at least from what we’ve seen so far, Harris has been quite successful in essentially getting the momentum and the kind of positive energy from this historic candidacy while not raising the kind of backlash that many people fear.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
