• LEGISLATION: Author (with Scott Wiener) of SB 27 (Chapt. 121, Stats of 2019) which requires candidates for President and Governor to file their income tax returns for the 5 most recent taxable years with the Secretary of State in order to appear on a primary election ballot.

On November 21, 2019, the California Supreme Court found that the law violated the State Constitution.
