California State AssemblyCandidate for District 75

Marie Waldron
My Top 3 Priorities
- Traffic Congestion-Fix and expand our roads and stop diverting $1 Billion/year existing transportation dollars to the general fund! Repeal the gas tax! I authored legislation to commit transportation dollars in the state budget to expand roads.
- Affordability - California has some of the highest taxes and fees in the nation which hurt hardworking Californians. Our vehicle registration fees, income taxes, corporate taxes & business regulations, gas tax, impact fees on housing all add up
- Housing -Reducing the high cost of regulations, taxes & fees on new housing (fees from $50k to $150k/unit) to updating CEQA’s lawsuit rules while continuing to meet environmental objectives will encourage higher infill & transit-oriented development

My work as a local elected official, serving on the Escondido city council, has given me the experience to work with and represent all my constituents. It is important to respect everyone you come in contact with and allow all voices to be heard, whether you agree with them or not. Being respectful of others and differing opinions has been a huge issue in our nation. Just because you don't agree with someone, doesn't mean you can't get along. The idea of censuring individuals or shutting down events because of disagreements with the speaker is not what Freedom of Speech is about. All ideas are valuable, people should be heard and need to be part of any civil discourse. The problem with society today is the opportunity for civil discourse has been overthrown by radicals with a agenda to shut down speech or intimidate. I have worked hard and successfully in local government and in the Assembly to listen to ideas, work with people of all political ideology and get things done for the people of my district and California.
Our students deserve the highest quality educators in their classroom, yet we have a teacher shortage. We can protect Title II funding, extend the teacher probationary period from two to three years and expand teacher credential reciprocity with other states. California needs to actively seek to secure qualified teachers in critical shortage areas like bilingual, special education, and STEM classes. As a member of the Select Committee on Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities, we need special education reforms for accountability, local control, and funding for the growing number and increased severity of students identified with special needs. I have supported increased access to early intervention and protect the rights of students with disabilities at the national and state level.
