Assembly Member Bigelow shares about his transition from local government to state politics, the challenges of being in the political minority in the California State Legislature, and how he builds relationships and stays focused on common ground to be an effective voice for rural California. He opens up about the personal impact of this year's devastating wildfires and the global pandemic that has created unique challenges for rural areas. Elected to the Madera County Board of Supervisors in 1998, Bigelow was later elected to the California State Assembly where he currently represents California Assembly District 5.

The events of 2020, from the pandemic to the uprising, have made the upcoming election a pivotal moment in time. In particular, the Black and Brown communities of South Los Angeles, facing generations of systemic racism and growing inequality, demand a new way forward with political leaders having the opportunity to bring forward solutions to police violence, environmental injustice, and social and economic mismanagement and exploitation. But can political leaders overcome the corporate money that prioritizes industry over people, profits over community? In this episode we get to know one of the candidates running for California Assembly for South Los Angeles, Fatima Iqbal-Zubair. The incumbent Assemblymember Mike Gipson was asked to be on the show but did return our requests. Fatima’s campaign platform is founded on ending systemic racism by prioritizing clean air, water, and food; supporting affordable housing and ending homelessness; pushing for health care for all; and reforming our education system, criminal justice, and immigration. She says she is running to uplift the voices in her community, not the special interests that run the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach, and the multiple oil refineries and drilling sites in the area, that have dominated business as usual in the district. Her goal is economic justice and a just transition to a green economy with full employment. Fatima Iqbal-Zubair, candidate for California Assembly District 64 [https://fatimaforassembly.com/], is a public school teacher in Watts, an immigrant, and a community advocate.

Our Two Cents Podcast Episode 032 https://ourtwocentspodcast.com Interview: Assemblyman Vince Fong Meet Vince Fong: I was born and raised right here in Bakersfield and will be the first to tell you that Kern County is an amazing place to live and work. We are a proud community of faith, family and patriotism, and I am committed to fighting for our way of life.  My grandfather started with nothing and worked day in and day out to build a life for his family. My father is a local pharmacist, who always stressed the importance of helping others and giving back. It was through these strong role models that I learned the values of hard work and personal responsibility. They did not rely on the government but rather on personal initiative, and always reminded us kids of how lucky we were to live and grow up in America with the opportunities it provided.  Unfortunately, today, the American Dream has become less and less attainable for good, honest, hardworking Californians who just want to better the lives of their families. I have worked for years on the issues facing the Central Valley and have watched as decisions are made that threaten our way of life. Whether it is halting energy production, drying up water supplies or moving forward with ridiculous projects like the bullet train that wastes taxpayer money, Sacramento simply does not have our best interests in mind.  That’s why now more than ever we need to send problem solvers to Sacramento. I ran for the State Assembly on the promise that I would be a strong advocate for the Central Valley and our values. As your Assemblyman for the last two years, I fought for lower taxes and limited government, and will work to ensure that our kids receive the education they deserve and that small businesses have the room needed to grow and create jobs.  I am proud to call Kern County home and want to make sure all Californians have an opportunity to get ahead — but I can’t do it alone. I hope you’ll join me in fighting for our way of life.  Vince Fong  -  (R) California  State Assembly member - California Assembly District 34  State District  4550 California Avenue  Bakersfield, CA 93309  Phone: (661) 395-2995 Fax: (661) 395-3883  State Capitol  1303 Tenth Street  Sacramento, CA 95814 Phone: (916) 319-2034  Fax: (916) 319-2134  Email  vince@vincefong.com  assemblymember.fong@assembly.ca.gov  https://lcmspubcontact.lc.ca.gov/PublicLCMS/ContactPopup.php?district=AD34  Links  http://twitter.com/vfong  http://ad34.asmrc.org  http://www.facebook.com/AssmVinceFong 

We interview Jovanka Beckles, candidate for California Assembly District 15.  We ask her about some of the states's biggest education issues.   For example, the State Board just agreed to allow another charter school to be built in Oakland; this charter's application had already been rejected by the Oakland district.    Is there a problem with state law when districts are told to close existing schools and required to open schools they didn't ask for?    California districts have few Latino teachers, and there really is no way for them to change this, because the state is in charge of deciding who gets to teach.  Can anything be done about this?  We get into this and many other questions.  We have invited the other candidate in this race; she has not responded.   The post Education Today – July 13, 2018 appeared first on KPFA.

Common sense solutions' are those that stand the test of time. They may be refined as new information becomes available, but they are not twisted, discarded, and reinstated as political tides ebb and flow. Thomas Krouse is committed to making your voice heard in Sacramento and is a supporter of "Industrial Hemp" (iHemp). Our government should focus on the priorities, principles, and values that are shared by the broad majority of citizens, not on issues and self-generated problems designed to score political points and to raise campaign contributions. He is committed to fighting to protect local control in North County which is under threat by dysfunctional 'one size fits all' government initiatives. He also pledges to oppose future tax increases as long as government continues to spend taxpayers' money so ineffectively, inefficiently, and unwisely. Above all, California should be focused on job creation and sustainable economic growth because a strong economy is essential to maintaining focus on our remaining priorities.
