Nancy Skinner
State Assembly District 15
UC Berkeley students regularly have the opportunity to connect with Nancy Skinner, who represents the city in the state Assembly.
She’s very involved with her district, and frequently visits campus for discussions that let students voice their thoughts directly to their representative.
But while Skinner has vocalized the need to protect higher education funding, as seen through her support of Proposition 30, she must do more in another term to fight for that ideal. Skinner’s district includes the best public university in the nation — and its quality is threatened now more than ever. She must take more action to defend and protect it from further cuts and poor legislation.
Still, Skinner has been a useful and responsive Assembly member in most areas. She has earned another term. Vote for Nancy Skinner for state Assembly in District 15.
Loni Hancock
State Senate District 9
Loni Hancock has learned how to be an effective advocate for the best interests of all Californians. That understanding is reflected in legislation she has authored, proving that she can affect tangible change.
Hancock had a hand in an impressive array of bills that were signed into law in 2011 alone, including legislation that makes Internet retailers collect and remit sales tax and a bill to update science standards in K-12 education. Due to another bill she authored, the Doctors Medical Center in West Contra Costa County remained open — a victory that provides a necessary resource to an underserved community. Hancock is a notable leader on environmental issues as well, which she demonstrates through her involvement with the Environmental Quality Committee.
Vote Loni Hancock for California State Senate in District 9.
