 the people of California’s 29th Assembly District, which includes 
 portions of Santa Cruz, Santa Clara, and Monterey Counties.   In his second 
 term as a state legislator, Mark emerged as a leader on environmental 
 protection, child welfare, and public safety.\n\nAs an environmental 
 champion, Mark has fought to curb illegal coastal development, reduce 
 plastic pollution, and clean up drinking water supplies.  In his capacity 
 as Chair of the Select Committee on Coastal Protection, he has held 
 hearings investigating threats to the Pacific Ocean, oil spill prevention 
 efforts, plastic garbage effects on the coastal environment, and offshore 
 fracking.\n\nMark serves as Chair of the Assembly Judiciary Committee, 
 which reviews legislation on a broad range of issues, including family law, 
 product and tort liability and immunity, immigration, commercial contracts, 
 court and jury procedures, civil practice and procedure.  In his first 
 term, Mark served as Chair of the Assembly Committee on Human Services, 
 where he led policy decisions on child welfare, foster care, developmental 
 disability services, temporary cash assistance, and CalFresh food benefits. 
  He wrote laws to make it easier for foster youth to graduate from high 
 school and access special benefits, assist low-income pregnant women better 
 prepare for the arrival of their babies, and help people released from 
 prison reintegrate into the community.  He also held several key oversight 
 hearings to discuss ways to address childhood poverty and improve 
 information sharing in the foster care system. \n\nIn addition to serving 
 as Chair of the Judiciary Committee, Mark is a member of the Natural 
 Resources Committee, Human Services Committee and Banking and Finance.  He 
 is the Chair of the Select Committee on Coastal Protection and Chair of the 
 Select Committee on Expanding Access to California's Natural 
 Resources.\n\nBefore his service in the Assembly, Mark represented the 
 Central Coast in various capacities. He was elected twice to the Santa Cruz 
 County Board of Supervisors, where he worked on health care, education, 
 youth issues and the environment.  Mark led an overhaul of the Santa Cruz 
 County child welfare system, and fought to halt discrimination of LGBT 
 youth. As an environmental defender, he spearheaded the successful effort 
 to ban single-use plastic bags in unincorporated areas of the county.\n\nIn 
 addition to his duties as a County Supervisor, Mark served the entire coast 
 as Vice Chair of the California Coastal Commission. During his time on the 
 Commission, he earned the reputation as a principled leader who protected 
 the cherished California coastline for generations to come.\n\nPrior to his 
 work at the County, Mark was a trustee of the Scotts Valley Unified School 
 District, eventually being elected President. Before entering public 
 service, Mark worked as an attorney in the tech industry and as a professor 
 at the Naval Postgraduate School.\n\nMark lives in Scotts Valley with his 
 wife Kathy.  They have two adult children. Stone is an avid open water 
 swimmer.\n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2016/02/13/18782912.php
