California's 38th Assembly District

Assemblymember Steve Bennett is the only Democrat in the race. The incumbent faces Republican Cole Brocato and Daniel Wilson, who isn’t running with a party affiliation, but whose stances align with the Democratic Socialists of America. Both Bennett and Wilson strongly urged Congress to enact a national carbon fee-and-dividend policy in the Citizens’ Climate Lobby questionnaire (Brocato didn’t respond). Assemblymember Bennett is an inconsistent supporter of housing---he abstained from SB9 and SB10 last year, but voted yes for AB1401—and in the candidate forum he minimized the need for more market-rate housing, but the others weren’t any better. Bennett is more knowledgeable and experienced, and less socialist, than Wilson. Re-elect him.
