Sierra Club California 2019 Legislative Report Card Overview
Every autumn, Sierra Club California staff review legislators' voting records for the year on bills affecting the environment. The 2019 Legislative Report Card rates the overall voting records of California Assembly and Senate Members on key environmental legislation. Overall, there was a remarkable increase in those who scored 100%. It is very encouraging to see that almost half (34/80) of those elected to the State Assembly and about a quarter (9/40) of those elected to the State Senate are voting consistently for the environment. Several senators were misaligned with the Sierra Club’s recommendation to vote no on SB 25 (See bill summaries below), which was a factor in the lower Senate scores. The Assembly did not vote on SB 25. Below are some of the ratings for legislators in the Angeles Chapter region which encompasses Los Angeles County and Orange County.
