Our Campaign Field Director, John Beal, single handendly made U.S. Senator Kamala Harris reconsider her response to taking Corporate PAC money. If you recall our last post, John attended Harrisâ town hall and asked if sheâd reject corporate donations, to which she responded, "It depends." John swiftly replied, "Wrong answer.""

- "We demand that our government represent us and not corporations. Roza has vowed not to take any corporate donations, preferring instead to eliminate special interest money in politics. Corporations have been able to buy the government they want and eliminate the voice of the voters." (www.electroza.org)
- "Invest in rural America & rebuild American industry" (www.electroza.org)

The well-being and best interest of constituents is outweighed by the importance of their investments, and their votes reflect just that. This is a disturbing trend not limited to contract defense, but also big pharma, medical, and oil & energy industries." (www.facebook.com)
- "As a music lover myself, I support the arts in our schools. As a child I played the violin, the cello, the bass clarinet, and anything I could get my hands on. I advocate for STEAM, (science, technology, engineering, ARTS, mathematics)to be part of the academic disciplines we focus on. As the only candidate truly committed to strengthening the California Democratic Party, I demanded that STEAM take the place of STEM under our educational platform, so that we could advocate for the arts at the legislative level." (www.facebook.com)
- "We have seen how severe state and federal budget cuts led by Republicans undermine the ability of our local school districts to provide a quality education for our children; this has resulted in overcrowded classrooms, overburdened and stressed teachers, and inadequate support services like special education, after-school care and preschool programs."
