Senator Steven M. Glazer

Sacramento – The California Legislature’s two leading members on election issues on Wednesday announced a coordinated effort to examine reforms to California’s recall election system.
Assembly member Marc Berman (D – Menlo Park) and Senator Steve Glazer (D – Contra Costa) said they are determined to fix a broken system in the wake of the 2021 gubernatorial recall election, which raised questions about whether a system designed in the early 20th century has enough checks and balances to ensure democratic and fair elections.

SACRAMENTO – Low-income California renters who have been drowning in unaffordable housing costs would see much-needed relief under a bill unveiled Wednesday by State Senator Steve Glazer (D-Contra Costa) and co-authors representing more than one-third of the Legislature.

SACRAMENTO – Three state senators have introduced legislation to bolster the free press that is one of the pillars of American democracy.
The bill, SB 911, by Sen. Steve Glazer, D-Contra Costa and principal co-authors Sens. Ben Allen, D-Santa Monica and Josh Newman, D-Fullerton, would provide state grants to individuals and organizations to help them cover issues of importance to their communities.

SACRAMENTO – Three legislators on Friday introduced a bill to close a loophole used by school districts to get around public disclosure requirements for posting their salaries through the State Controller’s office.

Slavery was an evil that will forever be a stain on the history of our great country.
We eliminated it through the Civil War and the adoption of the 13th Amendment.
Involuntary servitude – though lesser known – also had a shameful past.
After the emancipation, southern states sent many blacks to prison on trumped up charges, then “leased” them to farms and factories where they were forced to work without pay.
It was slavery by another name.
But ACA 3 is not about slavery. Slavery is banned in California by the state Constitution.
