His work has appeared on Newsweek.com, Slate.com, CBSNews.com, MotherJones.com, DailyKos.com and NPR’s web site. Fiore’s political animation has appeared on CNN, Frontline, Bill Moyers Journal, Salon.com and cable and broadcast outlets across the globe.\r\n\r\nBeginning his professional life by drawing traditional political cartoons for newspapers, Fiore’s work appeared in publications ranging from the Washington Post to the Los Angeles Times. In the late 1990s, he began to experiment with animating political cartoons and, after a short stint at the San Jose Mercury News as their staff cartoonist, Fiore devoted all his energies to animation.\r\nGrowing up in California, Fiore also spent a good portion of his life in the backwoods of Idaho. It was this combination that shaped him politically. Mark majored in political science at Colorado College, where, in a perfect send-off for a cartoonist, he received his diploma in 1991 as commencement speaker Dick Cheney smiled approvingly.\r\nMark Fiore was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for political cartooning in 2010, a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award in 2004 and has twice received an Online Journalism Award for commentary from the Online News Association (2002, 2008). Fiore has received two awards for his work in new media from the National Cartoonists Society (2001, 2002), and in 2006 received The James Madison Freedom of Information Award from The Society of Professional Journalists.",

"content": "\u003cp>It can be a delicate matter to bring up someone's age. But in California, \u003ca href=\"https://www.feinstein.senate.gov/public/\">Sen. Dianne Feinstein's\u003c/a> age has become a openly discussed issue in her campaign for a fifth full term.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Feinstein — a Democrat — is 84, making her the oldest member of the United States Senate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But not by much. There are seven other senators who are also in their 80s, though none of them are running for re-election this year. Some political columnists have said that Feinstein shouldn't run again. Harold Meyerson, executive editor of the liberal magazine \u003cem>The American Prospect\u003c/em>, made that argument \u003ca href=\"http://www.latimes.com/opinion/op-ed/la-oe-meyerson-feinstein-run-20170731-story.html\">in a column\u003c/a> in the\u003cem> Los Angeles Times\u003c/em>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This is a six-year term,\" Meyerson says, \"which is the longest term any elected officials in the United States can be elected to. So the issue isn't simply what shape is Dianne Feinstein in at age 84, it's also what shape will she — or anyone — be in at 91?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There's no way to predict that, says \u003ca href=\"http://gero.usc.edu/faculty/ailshire/\">Jennifer Ailshire\u003c/a>, a professor of gerontology and population health at the University of Southern California. People age differently from one individual to the next, she says. \"Some older adults are quite frail, while others are incredibly robust.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"hIXqY3mx97RBfY3jd1oJRNiL5c3MOZmS\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And their chronological age doesn't really tell you much.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Rather than focus on someone's age, we should be focusing on their biological age, which is the age of their cells, tissues and organs,\" Ailshire says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That's not the sort of information that voters have access to. What they do know about Feinstein is that she received a pacemaker last year, but missed only a single day of work. That work includes serving as the top Democrat on the Judiciary Committee, as well as having senior status on Appropriations and the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Throughout her career, Californians have known Feinstein as a cautious, middle-of-the road politician. That served her well when she was first elected to the Senate in 1992. The California electorate was also more moderate then. But Meyerson says California leans more to the left these days.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"lg5AqyHiwuWuvNkvjnVFmMbQ6S90ZKZx\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"So in many ways, I think, she still positions herself to the right of certainly where California Democrats are, and in many ways, of where California is.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But it's never been Feinstein's way to be a liberal flame-thrower. Instead, as she told an audience in San Francisco last year, what's important is knowing how to get things done.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You've got to be able to compromise,\" she said. \"And compromise, ladies and gentlemen, isn't a dirty word. Compromise is what moves this government forward.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Feinstein has a major primary challenger from her left. He's \u003ca href=\"http://sd24.senate.ca.gov/\">Kevin de León\u003c/a>, 51, leader of the California State Senate. And since California has a nonpartisan, top-two primary, he's likely to be her opponent in November as well.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"RRb7FhJYKmMwNBo3VMYKinrEgvdCP3We\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>De León has blasted Feinstein for being too conciliatory toward President Trump and too slow to stand up for young people on DACA, the program for some undocumented immigrants who were brought to this country as children. For the record, Feinstein voted against the January budget resolution to reopen the government because it lacked an extension for DACA.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>De León's campaign declined to be interviewed for a story on Feinstein's age.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He's been endorsed by the progressive political action committee, Democracy for America, which claims around 300,000 members in California. Communications Director Neil Sroka says what his organization wanted to know was, \"Who's going to be best equipped to lead the resistance to Donald Trump and set a path forward for what an inclusive, populist vision for this country looks like?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And for his organization, that wasn't Feinstein. Her age isn't a problem, but her long tenure in the Senate is.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"4WSu6aa5e5uhmLm1CNITJE5trirEkg3r\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We're going to need more [progressive] candidates moving up the ranks,\" Sroka says. \"We can't do that if the same old people are running for the same old offices over and over again.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Feinstein is hardly the first candidate whose age has become an issue. But few have been damaged by it. In 1984, President Ronald Reagan \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LoPu1UIBkBc\">famously teased\u003c/a> his younger opponent, Minnesota Sen. Walter Mondale, that he would not criticize him for his youth and inexperience. And just two years ago, when Arizona Sen. John McCain's primary opponent said he was too old to be running for re-election at the age of 80, her comments were \u003ca href=\"https://www.azcentral.com/story/news/politics/azdc/2016/08/27/kelli-ward-john-mccain-age/89434464/\">called desperate, nasty and sick by the media\u003c/a>; she lost decisively.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Dianne Feinstein may be more vulnerable. While \u003ca href=\"http://www.ppic.org/wp-content/uploads/s_1217mbs.pdf\">polls\u003c/a> show her ahead by double digits, one survey showed her \u003ca href=\"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/3ws181nw\">support dropping\u003c/a> several points when voters were told her age.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bill Carrick, Feinstein's longtime political strategist, says there have been older politicians going back decades \"and I never heard all this racket.\" Then again, he notes, they were all men.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We now are getting to the point where there are senior senators who are female,\" which suggests, says Carrick, that the concerns expressed about Feinstein's age represent \"quite a double standard.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gerontologist Ailshire says that if there's going to be a double standard, the science says it should be the other way round.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Women have a survival advantage over men,\" she says. \"Scientists have found that men have higher epigenetic aging rates, meaning their cells and tissues are older, even when they're the same chronological age [as] women.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Whether age should be an election issue will ultimately be settled by the voters. But those voters themselves are also aging. A dozen years from now, one-fifth of the U.S. population will be 65 years old or more.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2018 NPR.

Dianne Feinstein's\u003c/a> age has become a openly discussed issue in her campaign for a fifth full term.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Feinstein — a Democrat — is 84, making her the oldest member of the United States Senate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But not by much. There are seven other senators who are also in their 80s, though none of them are running for re-election this year. Some political columnists have said that Feinstein shouldn't run again. Harold Meyerson, executive editor of the liberal magazine \u003cem>The American Prospect\u003c/em>, made that argument \u003ca href=\"http://www.latimes.com/opinion/op-ed/la-oe-meyerson-feinstein-run-20170731-story.html\">in a column\u003c/a> in the\u003cem> Los Angeles Times\u003c/em>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This is a six-year term,\" Meyerson says, \"which is the longest term any elected officials in the United States can be elected to. So the issue isn't simply what shape is Dianne Feinstein in at age 84, it's also what shape will she — or anyone — be in at 91?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There's no way to predict that, says \u003ca href=\"http://gero.usc.edu/faculty/ailshire/\">Jennifer Ailshire\u003c/a>, a professor of gerontology and population health at the University of Southern California. People age differently from one individual to the next, she says. \"Some older adults are quite frail, while others are incredibly robust.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

What they do know about Feinstein is that she received a pacemaker last year, but missed only a single day of work. That work includes serving as the top Democrat on the Judiciary Committee, as well as having senior status on Appropriations and the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Throughout her career, Californians have known Feinstein as a cautious, middle-of-the road politician. That served her well when she was first elected to the Senate in 1992. The California electorate was also more moderate then. But Meyerson says California leans more to the left these days.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"So in many ways, I think, she still positions herself to the right of certainly where California Democrats are, and in many ways, of where California is.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But it's never been Feinstein's way to be a liberal flame-thrower. Instead, as she told an audience in San Francisco last year, what's important is knowing how to get things done.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You've got to be able to compromise,\" she said. \"And compromise, ladies and gentlemen, isn't a dirty word. Compromise is what moves this government forward.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Feinstein has a major primary challenger from her left. He's \u003ca href=\"http://sd24.senate.ca.gov/\">Kevin de León\u003c/a>, 51, leader of the California State Senate. And since California has a nonpartisan, top-two primary, he's likely to be her opponent in November as well.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>De León has blasted Feinstein for being too conciliatory toward President Trump and too slow to stand up for young people on DACA, the program for some undocumented immigrants who were brought to this country as children. For the record, Feinstein voted against the January budget resolution to reopen the government because it lacked an extension for DACA.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>De León's campaign declined to be interviewed for a story on Feinstein's age.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He's been endorsed by the progressive political action committee, Democracy for America, which claims around 300,000 members in California. Communications Director Neil Sroka says what his organization wanted to know was, \"Who's going to be best equipped to lead the resistance to Donald Trump and set a path forward for what an inclusive, populist vision for this country looks like?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And for his organization, that wasn't Feinstein. Her age isn't a problem, but her long tenure in the Senate is.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We're going to need more [progressive] candidates moving up the ranks,\" Sroka says. \"We can't do that if the same old people are running for the same old offices over and over again.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Feinstein is hardly the first candidate whose age has become an issue. But few have been damaged by it. In 1984, President Ronald Reagan \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LoPu1UIBkBc\">famously teased\u003c/a> his younger opponent, Minnesota Sen. Walter Mondale, that he would not criticize him for his youth and inexperience. And just two years ago, when Arizona Sen. John McCain's primary opponent said he was too old to be running for re-election at the age of 80, her comments were \u003ca href=\"https://www.azcentral.com/story/news/politics/azdc/2016/08/27/kelli-ward-john-mccain-age/89434464/\">called desperate, nasty and sick by the media\u003c/a>; she lost decisively.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Dianne Feinstein may be more vulnerable. While \u003ca href=\"http://www.ppic.org/wp-content/uploads/s_1217mbs.pdf\">polls\u003c/a> show her ahead by double digits, one survey showed her \u003ca href=\"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/3ws181nw\">support dropping\u003c/a> several points when voters were told her age.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bill Carrick, Feinstein's longtime political strategist, says there have been older politicians going back decades \"and I never heard all this racket.\" Then again, he notes, they were all men.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We now are getting to the point where there are senior senators who are female,\" which suggests, says Carrick, that the concerns expressed about Feinstein's age represent \"quite a double standard.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gerontologist Ailshire says that if there's going to be a double standard, the science says it should be the other way round.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Women have a survival advantage over men,\" she says. \"Scientists have found that men have higher epigenetic aging rates, meaning their cells and tissues are older, even when they're the same chronological age [as] women.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Whether age should be an election issue will ultimately be settled by the voters. But those voters themselves are also aging. A dozen years from now, one-fifth of the U.S. population will be 65 years old or more.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2018 NPR.

"content": "\u003cp>Between the singing, the prayers and the tears at Sunday's memorial service for San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee, political luminaries like Gov. Jerry Brown, Sen. Dianne Feinstein and Rep. Nancy Pelosi all spoke about Lee's life and the sacrifice he made for the city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But perhaps the person with the most at stake was a relatively unknown member of the Board of Supervisors, the first politician to address the gathered crowd at City Hall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Good afternoon, everyone,\" she said modestly. \"My name is London Breed, and I'm the acting mayor for the city and county of San Francisco.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"fYDsDRc06BLfgcvFVGp11Gd2tiCck5jV\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By virtue of her position as board president, Breed was thrust into a job she had not prepared for, but was rumored to be eyeing.

Working for him was all 'Parks and Rec,' no 'House of Cards,' \" Breed said, implying that Lee was not a typical Machiavellian politician.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another politician who would make Machiavelli blush reminded the crowd how Lee became mayor when then-Mayor Gavin Newsom was elected lieutenant governor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I had been part of the conspiracy to get him to take the mayor's job,\" former Mayor Willie Brown joked. \"He didn't want the mayor's job.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In early 2011, Brown, along with the late Chinatown power broker Rose Pak, pushed for Lee, who at that time was the city's chief administrative officer. The Board of Supervisors, unable to get six votes for a liberal successor, agreed to appoint Lee interim mayor with the understanding he wouldn't run for the job later that year. Lee broke that promise, upending the field of politicians lined up to seek the mayor's office later that year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11636597\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11636597\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/12/BreedSpeaks-800x530.jpg\" alt=\"London Breed, president of the Board of Supervisors and acting mayor, speaks at City Hall following the death of Mayor Ed Lee.\" width=\"800\" height=\"530\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/12/BreedSpeaks-800x530.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/12/BreedSpeaks-160x106.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/12/BreedSpeaks-1020x676.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/12/BreedSpeaks.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/12/BreedSpeaks-1180x782.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/12/BreedSpeaks-960x637.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/12/BreedSpeaks-240x159.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/12/BreedSpeaks-375x249.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/12/BreedSpeaks-520x345.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">London Breed, president of the Board of Supervisors and acting mayor, speaks at City Hall following the death of Mayor Ed Lee. \u003ccite>(Adam Grossberg/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Nearly seven years later, some liberals are still smarting from that episode, and are privately determined not to let it happen again. Many see Breed as too moderate -- a continuation of what's left of the Willie Brown machine.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Former San Francisco Mayor Art Agnos, whose name is mentioned as a potential interim mayor, hopes the supervisors can agree on an alternative to Breed, someone who will not turn around and run for mayor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I have faith that the Board of Supervisors will create that kind of level playing field so that the people ultimately can make a sound decision with the best candidates next June,\" Agnos said after Lee's memorial service.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"But if the power brokers of the city try to manipulate the process in a way that promotes one candidate, I think it's going to do some damage to our democracy and our city,\" Agnos said, apparently referring to Brown and others.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Breed has her supporters, some of whom are determined to keep her right where she is in Room 200 with the accompanying electoral advantages that come with the title.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of them is Christine Pelosi, who chairs the California Democratic Party's women's caucus. She fired a warning shot toward those who might be plotting against the acting mayor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It will be very, very difficult for the Board of Supervisor members to come explain to the women of San Francisco, particularly to the black women and their allies, why it is they want to take away the mayorship from a very strong, capable, talented woman like London Breed,\" Pelosi said the morning of Lee's death.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pelosi said the recent U.S. Senate election in Alabama was a reminder that African-Americans, especially women, are the backbone of the so-called resistance to President Trump's agenda.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But with the Jan. 9 deadline for filing papers to run for mayor fast approaching, political consultant Nathan Ballard says anyone who's ever thought about running for mayor is doing so right now.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You can run for mayor on a compressed time frame -- it's a sprint,\" Ballard said. \"And there's nobody that's an overwhelming favorite. There's no heir apparent.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But as acting mayor, London Breed would definitely have a leg up. Some members of the Board of Supervisors may try to change that, if they can cobble together six votes to install someone else as interim mayor -- after the filing deadline so that person can't run in June.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Speaking after the service for Lee, Gavin Newsom, whose election as lieutenant governor set off the last scramble to find an interim mayor, said he hoped the coming campaign won't become a referendum on Lee's record as mayor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The city and elected family owe Ed Lee and his legacy the respect to continue at least through the election, without being disrupted\" Newsom said. \"You know, without personalizing his tenure, without jumping over each other to try and elbow his legacy out.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom, who seemed reflective after Lee's sudden death, noted that the day after the mayor died he saw \"people already positioning and jockeying.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I'm not naive and Pollyannaish. I get it. On another level, it's profoundly unbecoming. And I hope people really pause and take a deep breath.,\" Newsom said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But it seems inevitable that Lee's record on courting high-tech companies, the cost of living and the entrenched homeless problem will become part of the campaign conversation next year. Do voters want more of the same, or a change of direction?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Among those planning a race is former state Sen. Mark Leno, who announced his candidacy in May. Former county Supervisor Angela Alioto also pulled papers at the Department of Elections this week. And progressive Supervisor Jane Kim also announced her intentions to run Wednesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It is time for fundamental change,\" Kim said in a statement. \"If we stay on the path we are on, things will get even better for the wealthiest among us, but worse for the rest of us.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In other words -- I am not Ed Lee.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They will surely not be alone. Others said to be weighing their options include Supervisor Mark Farrell, City Attorney Dennis Herrera and state Assemblyman David Chiu.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Note: This story was updated at 2:50 pm Wednesday to include the candidacy of Jane Kim.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

The Board of Supervisors, unable to get six votes for a liberal successor, agreed to appoint Lee interim mayor with the understanding he wouldn't run for the job later that year.

Many see Breed as too moderate -- a continuation of what's left of the Willie Brown machine.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Former San Francisco Mayor Art Agnos, whose name is mentioned as a potential interim mayor, hopes the supervisors can agree on an alternative to Breed, someone who will not turn around and run for mayor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I have faith that the Board of Supervisors will create that kind of level playing field so that the people ultimately can make a sound decision with the best candidates next June,\" Agnos said after Lee's memorial service.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"But if the power brokers of the city try to manipulate the process in a way that promotes one candidate, I think it's going to do some damage to our democracy and our city,\" Agnos said, apparently referring to Brown and others.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Breed has her supporters, some of whom are determined to keep her right where she is in Room 200 with the accompanying electoral advantages that come with the title.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of them is Christine Pelosi, who chairs the California Democratic Party's women's caucus. She fired a warning shot toward those who might be plotting against the acting mayor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It will be very, very difficult for the Board of Supervisor members to come explain to the women of San Francisco, particularly to the black women and their allies, why it is they want to take away the mayorship from a very strong, capable, talented woman like London Breed,\" Pelosi said the morning of Lee's death.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pelosi said the recent U.S. Senate election in Alabama was a reminder that African-Americans, especially women, are the backbone of the so-called resistance to President Trump's agenda.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But with the Jan. 9 deadline for filing papers to run for mayor fast approaching, political consultant Nathan Ballard says anyone who's ever thought about running for mayor is doing so right now.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You can run for mayor on a compressed time frame -- it's a sprint,\" Ballard said. \"And there's nobody that's an overwhelming favorite. There's no heir apparent.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But as acting mayor, London Breed would definitely have a leg up. Some members of the Board of Supervisors may try to change that, if they can cobble together six votes to install someone else as interim mayor -- after the filing deadline so that person can't run in June.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Speaking after the service for Lee, Gavin Newsom, whose election as lieutenant governor set off the last scramble to find an interim mayor, said he hoped the coming campaign won't become a referendum on Lee's record as mayor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The city and elected family owe Ed Lee and his legacy the respect to continue at least through the election, without being disrupted\" Newsom said. \"You know, without personalizing his tenure, without jumping over each other to try and elbow his legacy out.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom, who seemed reflective after Lee's sudden death, noted that the day after the mayor died he saw \"people already positioning and jockeying.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I'm not naive and Pollyannaish. I get it. On another level, it's profoundly unbecoming. And I hope people really pause and take a deep breath.,\" Newsom said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But it seems inevitable that Lee's record on courting high-tech companies, the cost of living and the entrenched homeless problem will become part of the campaign conversation next year. Do voters want more of the same, or a change of direction?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Among those planning a race is former state Sen. Mark Leno, who announced his candidacy in May. Former county Supervisor Angela Alioto also pulled papers at the Department of Elections this week. And progressive Supervisor Jane Kim also announced her intentions to run Wednesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It is time for fundamental change,\" Kim said in a statement. \"If we stay on the path we are on, things will get even better for the wealthiest among us, but worse for the rest of us.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In other words -- I am not Ed Lee.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They will surely not be alone. Others said to be weighing their options include Supervisor Mark Farrell, City Attorney Dennis Herrera and state Assemblyman David Chiu.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Dianne Feinstein was less than fortuitous.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Forty-eight hours after de León released a\u003ca href=\"https://www.kevindeleon.com/launch\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> videotaped message\u003c/a> that he was running, some of the most powerful women in Sacramento politics released a \u003ca href=\"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/4111753-Women-s-Letter-Final.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">letter \u003c/a>describing a long-standing climate of sexual harassment and worse at the state Capitol. Their message: \"Enough.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To be clear: Sen. de León has not been accused or implicated in the sexual harassment firestorm enveloping Sacramento. He didn't create the problem, but now he has to deal with it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And there's little doubt the political terrain for his challenge of Feinstein has shifted -- broadly in politics, but also because he's the leader of the state Senate, where allegations have been made against at least one member of his caucus.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democratic consultant Garry South says de León's situation is yet another example of how serving in Congress or the Legislature doesn't necessarily help politicians run for higher office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Being a legislative leader doesn’t give you a lot of pop with voters,\" South says. \"On the downside, you fall heir to all the scandals and problems of Sacramento.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As a legislator, de León has a history of support for legislation aimed at protecting women from harassment. In 2015, for example, de León and Santa Barbara Sen. Hannah-Beth Jackson co-authored a bill, \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201320140SB967\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">SB 967\u003c/a>, aimed at stemming the alarming incidence of sexual harassment and assault on college campuses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Known as the \"yes means yes\" bill, it ties state funding for public colleges and universities to their creating policies of \"affirmative consent\" for sexual activity, along with student education and better access to counseling for victims of assault.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"Vzz0e5mIYZlmWTfzUery78rud4BnshOo\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On the other hand, for the past four years, an Assembly bill to give whistleblower protections to legislative staff quietly died in the Senate. That will likely change in the coming session.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">De León’s campaign declined to making anyone available for an interview. But in a recorded response to questions, campaign consultant Courtni Pugh criticized the U.S. Senate -- and by implication, Dianne Feinstein -- for only recently taking steps to address long-standing sexual harassment.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Just last week, after 1,500 congressional aides signed a letter, the U.S. Senate finally passed a resolution to mandate sexual harassment training,\" Pugh says. \"It’s just decades too late, and this is the same Washington, D.C., full of institutional defenders of the status quo.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"LrWtZAaa6gp3dCJbxu4povguZKft2lv3\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite what many would call a solid record of supporting women's issues, de León may find himself constrained from attacking Feinstein or describing himself as the better advocate for women.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Feinstein is a political icon to many women, says Democratic strategist Mary Hughes, noting that Donald Trump's election has unleashed a \"fierceness\" among women voters that could help inoculate her from political attacks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Hughes says the harassment issue is also an opportunity for de León, who is still not well known outside his Los Angeles district. \"How do you comport yourself in a moment like this? If you’re the leader in the storm, what are you showing us? Are you fair, transparent and calm?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The upside could be great if you manage it in an aspirational way,\" Hughes adds. \"What’s the best that can come of it. Can I lead that?'\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>UC San Diego political science professor Thad Kousser agrees. On the one hand, Kousser says, the timing couldn't be worse for de León. \"On the other hand,\" he says, \"it gives him a strong podium to take a strong stand against [harassment] and to talk about what he’s doing to stop it in the California State Senate.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Complicating his task is the fact that until recently de León shared a Sacramento apartment with Sen. Tony Mendoza, who has been \u003ca href=\"http://www.sacbee.com/news/politics-government/capitol-alert/article184889968.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">accused \u003c/a>of inappropriate sexual behavior by a former intern. De León moved out of the apartment last weekend, but the situation surely puts him closer to the investigation than he'd like.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Not surprisingly, political operatives working on Feinstein's behalf like this turn of events. \"It takes Feinstein from a position of defense to a position of offense overnight,\" says Sean Clegg, whose firm SCN Strategies is coordinating an independent expenditure campaign to help Feinstein.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"[It's] not about Kevin De León or anyone else,\" Clegg insists. \"It’s about the temperature gauge in our society right now among women being very, very high. And it represents an opportunity.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Feinstein's longtime consultant, Bill Carrick, declined to talk about how the current dynamics affect the race against de León, but he sees a parallel between today's political climate and 1992, the so-called Year of the Woman that helped Feinstein and Barbara Boxer win their first terms in the U.S. Senate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Carrick, pointing to the recent election in Virginia, says \"women are just very anti-Trump and they’re expressing that by voting in dramatic numbers.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After the letter describing a \"pervasive\" culture of sexual harassment, de León announced he was hiring two independent law firms to investigate the allegations. But that didn't satisfy some of the women who organized the letter, who criticized the move as lacking transparency.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Adama Iwu, who helped spearhead the letter, told the Los Angeles Times that \"to find the truth and rebuild trust, we need a truly independent investigation, not a secretly hand-picked self-investigation.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sunday night, the Senate Rules Committee and de León \u003ca href=\"http://sd24.senate.ca.gov/news/2017-11-12-statement-members-senate-rules-committee\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">announced\u003c/a> that the Senate would no longer handle complaints of sexual abuse, assault or harassment internally. Instead, they would be turned over to an \"outside legal team.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a statement, de León said that \"this State Senate is a sacred place of public service and it must also be a safe place for everyone who works here. The people who work here and the public we serve must have complete confidence that no public official is above the law or our strict zero-tolerance harassment policies. Those who violate these policies will be held to account - swiftly and justly.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, over in the Assembly, the first in a series of public hearings is scheduled Nov. 28 at the state Capitol.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As consultant Mary Hughes notes, the election is still more than six months away, an eternity in politics. \"Who could predict whether this is long-lasting or a flash in the pan?\" says Hughes. \"We don’t know yet. And that matters. De León has a long race to run.\"\u003c/p>\n\n",

Hannah-Beth Jackson co-authored a bill, \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201320140SB967\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">SB 967\u003c/a>, aimed at stemming the alarming incidence of sexual harassment and assault on college campuses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Known as the \"yes means yes\" bill, it ties state funding for public colleges and universities to their creating policies of \"affirmative consent\" for sexual activity, along with student education and better access to counseling for victims of assault.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On the other hand, for the past four years, an Assembly bill to give whistleblower protections to legislative staff quietly died in the Senate. That will likely change in the coming session.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">De León’s campaign declined to making anyone available for an interview. But in a recorded response to questions, campaign consultant Courtni Pugh criticized the U.S. Senate -- and by implication, Dianne Feinstein -- for only recently taking steps to address long-standing sexual harassment.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Just last week, after 1,500 congressional aides signed a letter, the U.S. Senate finally passed a resolution to mandate sexual harassment training,\" Pugh says. \"It’s just decades too late, and this is the same Washington, D.C., full of institutional defenders of the status quo.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite what many would call a solid record of supporting women's issues, de León may find himself constrained from attacking Feinstein or describing himself as the better advocate for women.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Feinstein is a political icon to many women, says Democratic strategist Mary Hughes, noting that Donald Trump's election has unleashed a \"fierceness\" among women voters that could help inoculate her from political attacks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Hughes says the harassment issue is also an opportunity for de León, who is still not well known outside his Los Angeles district. \"How do you comport yourself in a moment like this? If you’re the leader in the storm, what are you showing us? Are you fair, transparent and calm?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The upside could be great if you manage it in an aspirational way,\" Hughes adds. \"What’s the best that can come of it. Can I lead that?'\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>UC San Diego political science professor Thad Kousser agrees. On the one hand, Kousser says, the timing couldn't be worse for de León. \"On the other hand,\" he says, \"it gives him a strong podium to take a strong stand against [harassment] and to talk about what he’s doing to stop it in the California State Senate.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Complicating his task is the fact that until recently de León shared a Sacramento apartment with Sen. Tony Mendoza, who has been \u003ca href=\"http://www.sacbee.com/news/politics-government/capitol-alert/article184889968.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">accused \u003c/a>of inappropriate sexual behavior by a former intern. De León moved out of the apartment last weekend, but the situation surely puts him closer to the investigation than he'd like.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Not surprisingly, political operatives working on Feinstein's behalf like this turn of events. \"It takes Feinstein from a position of defense to a position of offense overnight,\" says Sean Clegg, whose firm SCN Strategies is coordinating an independent expenditure campaign to help Feinstein.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"[It's] not about Kevin De León or anyone else,\" Clegg insists. \"It’s about the temperature gauge in our society right now among women being very, very high. And it represents an opportunity.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Feinstein's longtime consultant, Bill Carrick, declined to talk about how the current dynamics affect the race against de León, but he sees a parallel between today's political climate and 1992, the so-called Year of the Woman that helped Feinstein and Barbara Boxer win their first terms in the U.S. Senate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Carrick, pointing to the recent election in Virginia, says \"women are just very anti-Trump and they’re expressing that by voting in dramatic numbers.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After the letter describing a \"pervasive\" culture of sexual harassment, de León announced he was hiring two independent law firms to investigate the allegations. But that didn't satisfy some of the women who organized the letter, who criticized the move as lacking transparency.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Adama Iwu, who helped spearhead the letter, told the Los Angeles Times that \"to find the truth and rebuild trust, we need a truly independent investigation, not a secretly hand-picked self-investigation.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sunday night, the Senate Rules Committee and de León \u003ca href=\"http://sd24.senate.ca.gov/news/2017-11-12-statement-members-senate-rules-committee\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">announced\u003c/a> that the Senate would no longer handle complaints of sexual abuse, assault or harassment internally. Instead, they would be turned over to an \"outside legal team.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a statement, de León said that \"this State Senate is a sacred place of public service and it must also be a safe place for everyone who works here. The people who work here and the public we serve must have complete confidence that no public official is above the law or our strict zero-tolerance harassment policies. Those who violate these policies will be held to account - swiftly and justly.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, over in the Assembly, the first in a series of public hearings is scheduled Nov. 28 at the state Capitol.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

We cover topics like how fed-up administrators are developing surprising tactics to deal with classroom disruptions; how listening to podcasts are helping kids develop reading skills; the consequences of overparenting; and why interdisciplinary learning can engage students on all ends of the traditional achievement spectrum.
