Since 1998, Congresswoman Lois Capps has represented California’s South and Central Coasts, which includes portions of San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, and Ventura counties.  “I am proudly endorsing Hannah-Beth Jackson for the State Senate because we need her in Sacramento to fight for better schools, a cleaner environment and stronger consumer protections,” said Congresswoman Capps.  “I’ve known Hannah-Beth for many years, and she is the right choice to represent the Central Coast in the State Senate.”

Lois and I have developed a strong working relationship to serve our community and constituents over the past twenty years, including during my tenure in the State Assembly from 1998 – 2004. Together, we’ll work tirelessly to create jobs, strengthen women’s healthcare and ensure every child in California has the best possible education.

Sustainable Living at Sierra Nevada Brewery…
and in your home!

Join us at our monthly meeting Wednesday, April 4 at the Goebel Center, 1385 East Janss Road, Thousand Oaks. Networking 6:15 | Program 6:45 p.m. Guests are welcome.

Steve Grossman is Brewery Ambassador for Sierra Nevada Brewery. He has written for the Los Angeles Daily News, appeared as a guest expert on radio, and served as a homebrew judge. His brother is Sierra Nevada founder Ken Grossman.

Steve will speak about the 30-year evolution of Sierra Nevada’s passion for sustainability practices. His topics cover alternative energy sources (the majority of Sierra’s electricity is produced onsite), recycling (99.6% of solid waste is diverted from landfill), water management, energy conservation, and CO2 and biogas recovery.

As we face dwindling natural resources and increased pollution, Sierra’s practices have tremendous relevancy. Many of the lessons learned at the brewery can be easily implemented in businesses and homes with minimal capital investment.

NOTE: DCCV meets the first Wednesday of each month. Location changed for this meeting only.

Hannah-Beth Jackson for State Senate

One of the benefits of newly redrawn maps for me is the ability to vote for Fran Pavley, running for state Senate District 27. Recently, former speaker of the Assembly Bob Hertzberg has expressed interest in the race. His stated rationale: he’s a moderate, the district is moderate, he’s a Valley guy. He might be looking at a different SD27.

The one I’m living in covers some of the West Valley, but also includes east Ventura County, Malibu, and parts of Santa Clarita. Pavley was a mayor and council member of Agoura Hills, the geographic heart of the new district. Democrats at an East Ventura County women’s club who heard Pavley speak a couple of weeks ago are quite sure they don’t want to be represented by a Sherman Oaks resident – they moved to Ventura County to get away from the San Fernando Valley.

More important than carpetbagging issues is Hertzberg’s record. Hertzberg is a moderate, pro-business Democrat. Currently, he co-chairs California Forward, a Third Way/raging centrist group thinking that it has a monopoly on common sense. His wife sits on the board of Kaiser Permanente, so presumably he’s less than thrilled with healthcare reform. In 2005, he ran – and lost – for mayor of Los Angeles by espousing traditional GOP themes.

By contrast, Pavley is a champion of progressive values. In 2011, her bills signed by Governor Jerry Brown include laws banning toxic cadmium from jewelry and toxic BPA from children’s sippy cups, promoting energy conservation, and strengthening domestic violence laws. Despite Hertzberg’s being a Valley guy, it’s Pavley – not Hertzberg – who has received the unanimous endorsement of the Democratic Party of the San Fernando Valley, an umbrella organization of 27 Democratic clubs.

Perhaps Pavley’s greatest contribution to the California economy is AB32, the Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006, bringing clean energy jobs to California. The law bothers oil companies so much that they mounted an entirely unsuccessful attack on it in 2010, Proposition 23. Thanks in part to her leadership, California is on target to meet its renewable energy standards early. One in four American solar jobs is in California. As a climate hawk, she’ll keep California on track to lead the fight against global warming.

Pavley was endorsed overwhelmingly, 105-1, by party insiders at pre-endorsement caucuses this weekend. She deserves to be the party’s nominee, and to win in November.

Please join us in protecting our region by making sure our friend, Fran Pavley, is re-elected.
