Beckles has advocated for a statewide moratorium on new charter schools. Wicks supports efforts to make charter school organizations more transparent, but says the process of approving charter applications should be left to local school districts.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Can Beckles Compete with Wicks' Fundraising?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Wicks' tremendous fundraising helped her gain name identification in a primary field where six of her opponents had already appeared on a local ballot before. By raising more than $650,000 in the primary, Wicks was able to get her name out through mailers, television ads and phone banking, buttressing a busy schedule of canvassing and house parties.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Beckles raised less than all the other leading candidates in the primary, relying mostly on small donations. To be competitive in the general election, she will have to continue to dominate local fundraising: An analysis of primary donations finds 72 percent of contributions to Beckles came from ZIP codes within the district, compared to just 13 percent of donations to Wicks.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Where Will the Outside Spending Come From?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>In addition to leading the field in campaign fundraising, Wicks was the biggest beneficiary of independent expenditure spending in the primary. By law, these groups (also known as Super PACs) are not allowed to coordinate with campaigns or directly give money to candidates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The largest independent supporter of Wicks was the group Govern for California, \u003ca href=\"https://medium.com/@DavidGCrane/a-pro-citizen-2018-agenda-for-california-59b354f3d019\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">which advocates for\u003c/a> issues including pension reform, changes to teacher tenure rules and increasing the state's housing supply. The former two positions have drawn the ire of \u003ca href=\"http://www.berkeleyside.com/2018/04/27/opinion-who-is-trying-to-buy-the-california-state-assembly\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Wicks' opponents\u003c/a>, and led her to \u003ca href=\"https://medium.com/@buffywicks/setting-the-record-straight-b8e53416c55a\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">defend her record\u003c/a> on education policy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Consultants often say that the first rule of independent expenditure campaigns is \"do no harm\" to the candidate or cause you're trying to help. It's possible that support from Govern for California could become a liability for Wicks if their campaign continues to be a lightning rod for her opponents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It remains to be seen if any outside spending (particularly from labor unions) coalesces around Beckles. She did not have any registered Super PAC support during the primary, although an outside group called Blue America PAC paid for a Facebook ad that promoted Beckles and criticized Wicks. The ad was removed by Facebook for \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/politicalcontentads/?active_status=all&q=blue%20america\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">not meeting\u003c/a> the platform's \u003ca href=\"https://newsroom.fb.com/news/2018/05/ads-with-political-content/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">new reporting requirements\u003c/a> for political content.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Winning Over Primary Opponents\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>It's no surprise that a primary packed with 12 candidates led to a split among many interest groups and officeholders involved in East Bay politics. It will be vital for Beckles to consolidate the support of both organized labor, which was \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11668675/organized-labor-split-in-east-bay-assembly-race\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">fractured in the primary\u003c/a>, and the candidates who positioned themselves to the left of Wicks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Also undecided are the two Congress members representing most of the district, Barbara Lee and Mark DeSaulnier, who are both currently weighing which candidate they'll support in November.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More important for Beckles and Wicks is winning over the voters who chose one of the 10 other candidates in June -- and the potential November voters who didn't turn out for the primary.\u003c/p>\n\n","blocks":[],"excerpt":"Buffy Wicks and Jovanka Beckles face off in the Bay Area's only open state legislative race.

Beckles supports that \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/articles/exploring-the-promise-and-unintended-consequences-of-rent-control/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">measure to repeal\u003c/a> the Costa-Hawkins Rental Housing Act, while Wicks prefers reforms to the law, including the idea of stabilizing rents on units when they reach a certain age.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The two are also divided on how to regulate charter schools, a lightning-rod issue in Oakland. Beckles has advocated for a statewide moratorium on new charter schools. Wicks supports efforts to make charter school organizations more transparent, but says the process of approving charter applications should be left to local school districts.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Can Beckles Compete with Wicks' Fundraising?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Wicks' tremendous fundraising helped her gain name identification in a primary field where six of her opponents had already appeared on a local ballot before. By raising more than $650,000 in the primary, Wicks was able to get her name out through mailers, television ads and phone banking, buttressing a busy schedule of canvassing and house parties.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Beckles raised less than all the other leading candidates in the primary, relying mostly on small donations. To be competitive in the general election, she will have to continue to dominate local fundraising: An analysis of primary donations finds 72 percent of contributions to Beckles came from ZIP codes within the district, compared to just 13 percent of donations to Wicks.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Where Will the Outside Spending Come From?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>In addition to leading the field in campaign fundraising, Wicks was the biggest beneficiary of independent expenditure spending in the primary. By law, these groups (also known as Super PACs) are not allowed to coordinate with campaigns or directly give money to candidates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The largest independent supporter of Wicks was the group Govern for California, \u003ca href=\"https://medium.com/@DavidGCrane/a-pro-citizen-2018-agenda-for-california-59b354f3d019\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">which advocates for\u003c/a> issues including pension reform, changes to teacher tenure rules and increasing the state's housing supply. The former two positions have drawn the ire of \u003ca href=\"http://www.berkeleyside.com/2018/04/27/opinion-who-is-trying-to-buy-the-california-state-assembly\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Wicks' opponents\u003c/a>, and led her to \u003ca href=\"https://medium.com/@buffywicks/setting-the-record-straight-b8e53416c55a\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">defend her record\u003c/a> on education policy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Consultants often say that the first rule of independent expenditure campaigns is \"do no harm\" to the candidate or cause you're trying to help. It's possible that support from Govern for California could become a liability for Wicks if their campaign continues to be a lightning rod for her opponents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It remains to be seen if any outside spending (particularly from labor unions) coalesces around Beckles. She did not have any registered Super PAC support during the primary, although an outside group called Blue America PAC paid for a Facebook ad that promoted Beckles and criticized Wicks. The ad was removed by Facebook for \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/politicalcontentads/?active_status=all&q=blue%20america\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">not meeting\u003c/a> the platform's \u003ca href=\"https://newsroom.fb.com/news/2018/05/ads-with-political-content/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">new reporting requirements\u003c/a> for political content.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Winning Over Primary Opponents\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>It's no surprise that a primary packed with 12 candidates led to a split among many interest groups and officeholders involved in East Bay politics. It will be vital for Beckles to consolidate the support of both organized labor, which was \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11668675/organized-labor-split-in-east-bay-assembly-race\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">fractured in the primary\u003c/a>, and the candidates who positioned themselves to the left of Wicks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Also undecided are the two Congress members representing most of the district, Barbara Lee and Mark DeSaulnier, who are both currently weighing which candidate they'll support in November.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"floatright"},"numeric":["floatright"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More important for Beckles and Wicks is winning over the voters who chose one of the 10 other candidates in June -- and the potential November voters who didn't turn out for the primary.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}}],"link":"/news/11677440/what-to-watch-for-in-the-east-bays-15th-assembly-district-race","authors":["227"],"programs":["news_72"],"categories":["news_6266","news_8","news_13"],"tags":["news_22561","news_22743","news_20179","news_20191","news_22734","news_23214","news_24446"],"featImg":"news_11675040","label":"source_news_11677440"},"news_11668675":{"type":"posts","id":"news_11668675","meta":{"index":"posts_1591205157","site":"news","id":"11668675","score":null,"sort":[1526597793000]},"guestAuthors":[],"slug":"organized-labor-split-in-east-bay-assembly-race","title":"Organized Labor Split in East Bay Assembly Race","publishDate":1526597793,"format":"standard","headTitle":"The California Report | KQED News","labelTerm":{},"content":"\u003cp>On a recent Sunday afternoon, a handful of volunteers wearing red shirts dotted a Kaiser Permanente parking lot in the East Bay city of Pinole.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The gathering was organized by the California Nurses Association in an effort to elect a fellow nurse, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11662403/after-single-payer-battles-is-the-assembly-ready-for-a-nurse\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Rochelle Pardue-Okimoto\u003c/a>, to the California State Assembly.
