But I think we are seeing California courts generally, and the California Supreme Court in particular, being more receptive to arguments made by defendants.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Scheidegger said the governor's political power -- and fundraising strength -- have also had an impact. Brown has put his sizable war chest behind promoting changes at the ballot box like 2016’s Proposition 57.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That measure chipped away at a legacy from Brown’s first terms as governor that many blame for the prison overcrowding: determinate sentencing, which sets a fixed prison term at the time of conviction. Proposition 57 gave the parole board more discretion on when to release an inmate. Scheidegger opposed Proposition 57, and believes the governor is “fundamentally mistaken on a lot of sentencing issues.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But criminal justice reform advocates like Lenore Anderson believe the changes of the last seven years are only the beginning.

Brown has named a far \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/10869617/browns-judicial-appointments-reflect-shift-away-from-harsh-sentencing-policies\">more diverse set of judges\u003c/a> and parole board members than his predecessors, and allowed \u003ca href=\"http://www.kpbs.org/news/2014/mar/19/governor-brown-releasing-more-lifers/\">a record number of parole releases to go forward.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The appointments to the bench do have a very important, long-term effect,” said Kent Scheidegger, legal director of the conservative Criminal Justice Legal Foundation and a critic of Brown’s approach to criminal justice. “It's a gradual one that doesn't necessarily show up right away. But I think we are seeing California courts generally, and the California Supreme Court in particular, being more receptive to arguments made by defendants.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Scheidegger said the governor's political power -- and fundraising strength -- have also had an impact. Brown has put his sizable war chest behind promoting changes at the ballot box like 2016’s Proposition 57.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That measure chipped away at a legacy from Brown’s first terms as governor that many blame for the prison overcrowding: determinate sentencing, which sets a fixed prison term at the time of conviction. Proposition 57 gave the parole board more discretion on when to release an inmate. Scheidegger opposed Proposition 57, and believes the governor is “fundamentally mistaken on a lot of sentencing issues.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But criminal justice reform advocates like Lenore Anderson believe the changes of the last seven years are only the beginning.

None did.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We also asked several interest groups to share the candidates’ answers. They wouldn’t.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both sides generally agree to keep the records confidential. Some organizations even emblazon their documents with the words “Do not copy.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The style of the questionnaires varies, with some requesting thoughtful explorations of policy issues and others listing pages of yes/no questions. Some include a “pledge” section — for example, asking candidates to sign their names and promising to “actively and publicly support” workers organizing a union.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In some cases, the result is private covenants on such questions as: Will you ban fracking?

If Newsom is elected and then makes decisions that contradict what he told the union during the endorsing process, Araby said, he wouldn’t hesitate to pull out the questionnaire.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We would have that as a point of reference in any conversation we had with him and his staff. Our union is not afraid to hold people accountable, Democrats or Republicans,” Araby said. Two years ago it funded a campaign to oust a Democratic assemblywoman after she voted against the union on two bills.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In declining to make any of his completed endorsement questionnaires public, Newsom said the forms don’t allow for the nuances that answers deserve.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’d rather give you the raw, unvarnished, actual answers that do more than just three sentences that can be taken out of context in a questionnaire,” Newsom said during an interview with CALmatters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He and the other five major candidates each sat for lengthy interviews with CALmatters journalists, \u003ca href=\"https://elections.calmatters.org/2018/statewide-postings/governor-of-california/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">going into depth\u003c/a> on numerous public policy questions.

The charter association has endorsed Villaraigosa, who clashed with teacher unions and took control of several low-performing schools when he was mayor of Los Angeles. Charter supporters have already poured $10.2 million into a fund paying for ads supporting Villaraigosa.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The questionnaire may not be the only factor in an endorsement decision. Like most influential groups, the charter schools association also interviews candidates to discuss issues in greater depth.
