Winning for Workers in California's Battleground

by Randy Shaw via Beyond Chron
Monday, October 20, 2008 : As we enter the home stretch of what just might be the most exciting campaign season in history, working people have never been more energized for change. Voter registration has skyrocketed, volunteers are turning out in droves, and new national leadership is on the horizon.
California's working families are dedicated to getting a new wave of lawmakers to Sacramento. By securing a two-thirds majority in the state legislature, we can win important worker protections, override gubernatorial vetoes, get a fair state budget and pass the legislation we need to help our families through these difficult times.

Assembly District 10 (Amador, Sacramento and San Joaquin counties). Although new to politics, labor-endorsed candidate Alyson Huber believes that common-sense solutions can help us tackle many of the problems facing our state. As a lawyer, she is fighting to promote justice and equality within our legal system, and, as a working mother, she understands the pressures that working families face every day.

Assembly District 15 (Alameda, Contra Costa, San Joaquin and Sacramento counties). A former school board member, Joan Buchanan understands school finance, facilities, curriculum, and the need to work with the entire education family to realize sustained improvements. Her expertise in budgeting and organizational development has served the community well, and would be a decisive asset in Sacramento.

Assembly District 26 (San Joaquin and Stanislaus counties). A veteran, farmer, and former school board member, John Eisenhut has vowed to advance our commitment to quality education, control healthcare costs and increase access to quality healthcare. John has pledged to work to bring borrowers and lenders together so that as many loans as possible can be salvaged to save homes from foreclosure.
