Katie Porter, Barbara Lee, Adam Schiff found at least one thing they could agree on: Dragging former Los Angeles Dodgers player Steve Garvey over his unwillingness to say whether he plans to vote for Trump a third time at the ballot box.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All four candidates appeared onstage at the University of Southern California for the debate, which was also hosted by Politico and FOX11. They’re fighting for a rare opportunity to represent the most populous state in the nation, a seat left vacant by the late Sen. Dianne Feinstein.

In fact, no Republican has won a statewide election since 2006.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here’s where the candidates stand on several key issues:\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Trump’s reelection\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>All three of the Democrats are strong critics of the former President.

I will determine what they did. And at that time I will make my choice. I don’t believe Joe Biden has been for good for this country,” Garvey said, then went on to say the U.S. was safer under Trump.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Porter shot back, “Once a Dodger, always a dodger.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Ballots go out in six weeks, Mr. Garvey.

Katie Porter, Barbara Lee, Adam Schiff found at least one thing they could agree on: Dragging former Los Angeles Dodgers player Steve Garvey over his unwillingness to say whether he plans to vote for Trump a third time at the ballot box.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All four candidates appeared onstage at the University of Southern California for the debate, which was also hosted by Politico and FOX11. They’re fighting for a rare opportunity to represent the most populous state in the nation, a seat left vacant by the late Sen. Dianne Feinstein. It’s only the second time since 1992 that state voters will choose a Senator without an incumbent on the ballot (Vice President Kamala Harris was elected to the open seat in 2016, but she didn’t face a serious challenge.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The three Democrats who took the stage have nearly identical voting records in Congress, and share similar positions on many key issues including supporting abortion rights, expanding Medicare, and ending the filibuster in the U.S. Senate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But it was Garvey’s first turn in the spotlight, and he tried to frame himself as a “conservative moderate” in an apparent attempt not to alienate either Trump supporters or independent voters. When pushed to ask whether he disagrees with Republicans in Congress on anything Garvey responded “Just about everything,” but when asked what a second Trump presidency would mean, he demurred.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While polls have shown Schiff in the lead, with Porter just a few points behind, many voters remain undecided. The top Democrats are hoping to engineer a runoff against Garvey: Given California’s top two primary system as well as Democrat’s strong voter registration advantage, it would be difficult for Garvey to win. In fact, no Republican has won a statewide election since 2006.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here’s where the candidates stand on several key issues:\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Trump’s reelection\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>All three of the Democrats are strong critics of the former President. But Garvey, who says he voted for Trump in 2016 and 2020, tried to dance around what he would do in November.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What more do you need to see of what he’s done to be able to say that you will not support him,” Schiff asked.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Garvey responded, and accused Schiff of engaging in “identity politics.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When the time comes, I’ll do exactly what I said I will: Look at the two opponents. I will determine what they did. And at that time I will make my choice. I don’t believe Joe Biden has been for good for this country,” Garvey said, then went on to say the U.S. was safer under Trump.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Porter shot back, “Once a Dodger, always a dodger.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Ballots go out in six weeks, Mr. Garvey.

At the time, she said her recovery had been delayed because of complications and provided no date for her return. Republicans in the closely divided chamber rejected the request, saying Democrats only wanted a stand-in to push through Biden’s most partisan judicial nominations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California Rep. Ro Khanna, a progressive, was the first to call for Feinstein to resign, saying in mid-April: “This is a moment of crisis for women’s rights and voting rights. It’s unacceptable to have Sen. Feinstein miss vote after vote to confirm judges who will uphold reproductive rights.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The politically moderate Feinstein has long had strained relations with the Democratic Party’s left wing.

The White House has expressed support for the long-serving senator and wished her a speedy recovery.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Given her age and health problems, Feinstein is likely to face continued questions about her ability to serve.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If Feinstein decides to step down during her term, it would be up to Democratic Gov.

In 2018, leaders released a decade’s worth of records that included 18 cases of alleged sexual harassment and \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/politics/inside-california-capitol/2018/02/california-legislature-last-releases-sexual-harassment-records/\">named four lawmakers who were still serving at the time\u003c/a> — but only after public pressure and \u003ca href=\"https://www.latimes.com/politics/la-pol-ca-legislature-sexual-harassment-records-released-20180202-story.html\">the threat of court intervention\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In response, Senate and Assembly leaders \u003ca href=\"https://sd39.senate.ca.gov/news/20190118-legislative-leaders-announce-new-workplace-conduct-unit-and-review-panel\">created the Workplace Conduct Unit in 2019\u003c/a>. Last December, the unit released its first report, which said that since February 2019, 91 cases were substantiated and 86 resulted in disciplinary action, including nine dismissals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The goal was to clear up the “erroneous assumption that allegations are not being substantiated or that discipline has not been imposed,” according to \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/WCU-Letter-8-19-22.pdf\">an August 2022 letter (PDF)\u003c/a> from legislative leaders to fellow lawmakers and staff.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But beyond the high-level numbers, the letter didn’t provide a lot of detail.

Instead, it’s covered by the Legislative Open Records Act, which does not require the release of misconduct reports.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The anti-sexual harassment coalition will focus this year on trying again to pass a bill to amend the Legislative Open Records Act to require the release of those records, using language similar to \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=202120220SB16\">a law passed in 2021\u003c/a> that applies to disclosing police misconduct.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The justification [for those bills] was that there’s this lack of trust and transparency and that greater transparency would result in a fair and more just system,” Ferguson said. “I think similarly that’s really true in this case. For staffers in the Legislature and the public, there’s no accountability mechanism.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Public meetings are another area where the Legislature doesn’t have to be as transparent as other elected officials. The 1953 \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/codes_displayText.xhtml?division=2.&chapter=9.&part=1.&lawCode=GOV&title=5.\">Ralph M.

Under\u003cstrong> \u003c/strong>a 1973 law, legislators can gather privately in partisan caucuses. For example, Assembly Democrats \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/newsletters/whatmatters/2022/06/california-assembly-speaker-drama/\">met behind closed doors for six hours\u003c/a> at the state Capitol last spring on the speakership fight, then hammered out the deal for Rivas to succeed Rendon as speaker in \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/politics/california-legislature/2022/11/california-legislature-assembly-speaker-deal/\">another six-hour private meeting\u003c/a> in November at the Sacramento Convention Center.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The most angry and resentful populists in both parties are driven by the accurate belief that most politicians think that they’re better than the rest of society,” Schnur said. “Every one of these double standards reinforces that belief.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n","blocks":[],"excerpt":"California legislators have pushed through major bills in recent years to support unions throughout the state, despite barring their own staffers from organizing.
