Welcome to my campaign for the 72nd Assembly District.  Here you will find a program for a California driven by the ideas of people, not lobbyists for special interests.

 

Jane Rands 

 


No one should be without clean water, clean air, health care, or an education, and yet so many people in our state are suffering because they cannot afford these things.  If these and other issues like a sustainable economy, decentralized clean energy, equal marriage rights and campaign finance reform are important to you, then I ask you to vote for me in 2010.
 
California needs a new energy plan based on clean, renewable power.  We need health care without insurance companies getting in the way.  We need a long term solution to bring water to our cities without harming our natural environment.  Last year Prop. 8 took away constitutionally guaranteed rights for the first time in our state's history.  This shameful action must be reversed to restore the right of marriage to lesbian and gay couples.  Public transportation has been cut terribly while huge sums of money are given to widen freeways that are still jammed with cars.  Elect me to work for real mass transit.
 

I support restoring full funding to our education system.  We need to shift our state priorities from funding more prisons to investing in our future by giving today's students the opportunity to contribute to California's educated workforce.


Rather than cutting funding, the legislature should look for new and former sources of revenue. I support a 10% tax on gas and oil extracted in our state. This revenue would be exclusively for schools. I also support removing tax brakes that allow the wealthiest Californians to effectively pay a lower tax rate than the poorest Californians. Without everyone paying their fair share of taxes, we cannot afford the world class education we have provided in the past. We also need to reform redevelopment law and corporate law. Both prevent money from going to the state that would be spent on education. 
 
Please join me in campaigning for the California we all know we can have if we work together, not twenty years in the future, but now!
