Dear Friends,
As we approach election day, I want to reflect back on what inspired me to run, and talk about my priorities for the state.
I have waged a campaign based on doing the right thing for California, no matter the political cost to myself, and outside the influence of special interests. My only desire is [...]

Assembly candidate Das Williams receives 40 percent of his $550,000 from Political Action Committees as tribal casinos, alcohol, oil/gas/energy and insurance interests line up behind him
A “Who’s Who” of powerful special interests moved tons of contributions to Assembly candidate Das Williams during the home stretch before the June 8 primary election – including tribal casinos, who spent [...]

In a desperate campaign ploy, State Assembly candidate Das Williams – a longstanding cheerleader for the first new offshore oil drilling lease in California State waters in 41 years – has  issued a press release calling for a moratorium on new offshore oil leasing.
It’s unclear how Williams can call for a moratorium on “new offshore [...]

My campaign has sent out information to people in the 35th Assembly District reconfirming my opposition to offshore oil drilling and my opponent Das Williams’ support for the controversial Texas-based Plains Exploration and Production Company (PXP) plan for new offshore oil drilling in California Sanctuary Act waters.

Former Mayor of Carpinteria Dick Weinberg Gives Sole Endorsement to
Susan Jordan for Assembly
Joining other Carpinteria leaders, the former Mayor of Carpinteria Dick Weinberg has lent his support to Susan Jordan’s Assembly District 35 race.
“As the Director of the California Coastal Protection Network, Susan has an established track record of opposing destructive and illegal projects up [...]

“Susan has the right mix of experience, credibility and courage to be an effective leader in Sacramento,” said City of Ventura Police Chief Ken Corney in announcing his endorsement of Susan Jordan in the 35th District Assembly race.

Chief Corney’s confidence in Jordan’s ability to best represent local interests in Sacramento is echoed by community leaders, public safety groups and officials throughout the district.

Corney joins the California Police Chiefs Association — a group which is highly selective in the races it endorses — along with the Ventura County Deputy Sheriffs’ Association, Oxnard Police Chief John Crombach, the Ventura County Professional Firefighters Association, Oxnard Firefighters, and Ventura City Firefighters in endorsing Jordan.

The non-profit advocacy group which acts as a voice for consumers across California has endorsed Susan Jordan for the 35th Assembly District seat.

“Susan Jordan has proven that she is tough enough to stand up to the oil and energy corporations. The Consumer Federation of California endorses her for State Assembly because she fights for the people, and against the powerful special interests,” said Richard Holober, Executive Director of the Consumer Federation of California.

Through Jordan’s non-profit California Coastal Protection Network she has waged large-scale campaigns to protect and empower communities around the state. She helped raise millions of dollars and mobilize thousands of people to stop the construction of a dangerous Liquefied Natural Gas Terminal off the coast of Ventura and recently helped defeat a proposal to open California State Waters to oil drilling for the first time in 41 years.
