Pavley’s name has become so synonymous with conservation that people know her bills by her name rather than the bill’s name itself. The “Pavley bill” is often used to describe the “Clean Car Standards bill” that she authored in 2002. That’s because then-Assemblymember Fran Pavley authored the first bill in American history to seriously address global warming by requiring tougher standards in tailpipe emissions from cars.  The law is the model used by more than a dozen other states and Canada to do the same.

But the story doesn’t end there. In 2006, Pavley did it again. Despite enormous opposition from polluting industries, which mounted a major anti-environment lobbying effort, then-Assemblymember Pavley authored AB 32, the Global Warming Solutions Act, which created the framework to make California the nation’s leader in reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Under the context of this law, the state legislature would pass additional laws to end sprawl development and increase our renewable energy generation — all while growing our state’s economy by creating alternative energy jobs. Never had any feat of this size and nature been accomplished in all of the United States, let alone just California.

In addition to these historic accomplishments, Pavley also authored bills that became laws to increase penalties for water polluters, increase the use of alternative energy in vehicles, make it possible for rechargeable batteries to be easily recycled, ban toxic chemicals in children’s jewelry, and increase enforcement of energy efficiency standards in appliances.

So now that you know what she has already done, imagine what Senator Pavley could do if we re-elected her to serve in the state Senate for another four years. Because of decennial redistricting, Pavley is running in the new Senate District 27, which covers the West San Fernando Valley, Malibu, Santa Clarita, and Eastern Ventura County. This new, more inland seat is where she once served as the first Mayor of Agoura Hills and spent her previous career as a local schoolteacher.

For CLCV, this opportunity to re-elect one of the best environmental champions our state has ever seen makes this a must-win campaign. Please join CLCV in supporting Senator Pavley’s re-election in the June primary and November general elections.

Thanks for all you do,

David Allgood
Political Director, CLCV

Ventura County Democrats 2012 Jack O’Connell Scholarship

Hon. Jack O’Connell’s service to Ventura County and the state of California by awarding a
scholarship in the amount of $1,000 in the field of Public Service or Education.
After growing up in Oxnard, graduating from Oxnard High School, receiving his B.A. degree
from California State University Fullerton (CSUF) and his secondary teaching credential from
CSU Long Beach, Jack O’Connell returned to teach government classes at Oxnard High School.
His political career began with his election to the Santa Barbara County School Board. Starting
in 1982, Jack served six terms in the California State Assembly and was Speaker pro tem. He
then was elected to two terms in the State Senate. He was elected as State Superintendent of
Public Instruction in 2002 and overwhelmingly reelected in 2006. In 2007 he was inducted into
the Ventura County Educators Hall of Fame. He termed out in 2010. In April 2011 Jack became
Chief Education Officer for a professional services company that provides consulting, services
and legislative advocacy for school districts. Jack O’Connell is a role model for his commitment
to education as a teacher, legislator, and the State Superintendent of Public Instruction.

Pay attention to Linda Parks refusal to answer what was the most commonly asked question who she would vote for Speaker of the house and whether she would caucus with the Republicans or the Democrats. It is very telling she will not state her principals or positions to the voters of the district relying instead on platitudes about how partisan posturing is hurting the country, Keep in mind she has engaged prominent Republican strategists Gorton Blair Biggs International, headed by former Pete Wilson strategist George Gorton, whose storied career in political consulting includes a tie-in with Watergate as a youth-vote adviser to President Richard Nixon’s 1972 presidential bid to run her campaign so I think that should answer the question.

Fran Pavley was interviewed and is in this segment on hydraulic fracturing (fracking) and the need to regulate the practice. Fran is currently carrying legislation on fracking, SB 1054.
