California is in a state of scarcity of momentous magnitudes with no end in the near future as long as Jerry Brown is governor. Mr. Brown, a lifelong Democrat, is America’s oldest governor and has served in this position several times. During his first charge of California in 1975-1983 he was all about his own agenda along with his poor leadership skills, disregarded the legislators. In 2011, three years into his second governorship, Mr. Brown’s first budget faced a deficit of $25.4 billion.

    982 Words  | 4 Pages

With high tax burdens and union membership, and low gun ownership, it is also one of the most progressive states. In a poll taken in early February, Feinstein was leading de Leon 46% to 17%, largely due to her advantage in name recognition and fundraising. That margin has already begun to close with Feinstein now leading 42% to 16%. While de Leon is unlikely to catch Feinstein before the primary in June, in a two-person race in the general election, California's voter demographics and trends should benefit de Leon.

  • What Is The Use Of Ethos Pathos And Logos In Governor Brown Speech

    1521 Words  | 7 Pages

    Brown’s bold statements are an attempt to bestow his audience with a logical appeal, by providing statistical evidence regarding the foreign-born citizens in California. However, because Brown did not cite or reference any credible sources, he could not relate this statement to the exact number of illegal immigrants currently residing in California, who are not paying their taxes, the speech omits to astonish the audience. Later, Brown quotes he has “Provided health insurance to over five million Californians”, followed Martin 2 by… “Raising Minimum wage, reducing prison overcrowding and reestablished the system of crime and punishment, making California the universal leaders in the fight against climate change, passing a water bond, and establish a rainy day fund” (Gajanan 1). Although these benefits were much needed for the five million Californians, Brown is not sure how the funds for these benefits are acquired and who for sure is paying it. He omits how this issue will personally effect the taxpayers who already own health insurance.

    Representative Kevin McCarthy is one of fifteen Republican members in Congress in the state of California, which is highly outnumbered by thirty-eight democrats. After four years of getting reelected as the representative for the 22nd district in California, redistricting retitled it the 23rd district. The newly numbered district became more compact, losing the central coast while adding a chunk of Tulare County. This did not change the fact that McCarthy’s district was still heavily Republican. The redistricting of 2012 in California showcased a new way to redistrict as the citizens of California chose the district lines, providing one of the most competitive elections in the country.
