Gail Pellerin, California 28th District Assemblymember, Nov. 15, 2024, on KZSC's "The Bushwhacker's Breakfast Club"

What can we do to prepare for Trump's clear mandate? It's a marathon, not a sprint...change starts local, and in ourselves; discussion of the changing face of local journalism, with Lookout Santa Cruz's birthday last night, and how they are rolling out in local schools; Gail studied journalism in college (Cal Poly, SLO), where she was editor of the Mustang, & later a reporter at the SLO Bulletin, Elk Grove Citizen, where she realized she had opinions; worked for Rusty Arias' district office, then the Bill Tracking Unit in Sacramento, and later, Santa Cruz County Clerk; the Governor *has* called another Special Session, which will be sworn in on Dec. 2nd - the goal is to insure that the Attorney General has the funding needed for the anticipated wave of litigation that will follow Trump's inauguration (California filed 120 lawsuits in the last Trump administsration); recent Trump cabinet announcements: the Senate has to do their job, with transparency; next legislative session starts January 6th...February 21st is the last day for a bill to be introduced...can submit a "spot bill" that may be an idea where you're still working on the language; voter turnout discussion, and what we can say to young voters who may be disallusioned (remember all the other things on the ballot other than the top slot, and progress...the pendulum swints...don't give up!
