Biografía
Sonoma and Marin Counties deserve an experienced local leader who stands up for our priorities and
our values. I’ve been fighting for the North Bay for 18 years, including as a Marin County Supervisor,
Vice-Mayor of San Rafael, School Board President, and as a California Deputy Attorney General.
When PG&E was slow to act, I co-founded Marin Clean Energy and helped start Sonoma Clean Power,
giving the North Bay reliable green energy. I authored San Rafael’s first Climate Action Plan and will act
with urgency to tackle the climate crisis as our next Assemblymember. On the Bay Area’s regional
Metropolitan Transportation Commission, I’ve secured investments to improve public transit reliability,
improve bike and pedestrian safety, and fix our roads. I’m a champion for preserving open space and
wildfire prevention. I’ve secured funding for hundreds of affordable housing units and for
compassionate solutions to help the unhoused. I’ve fought for strong public education and an economy
that works for everyone. With Roe v. Wade under attack, I’ll ensure that California is a sanctuary for
access to safe and legal reproductive health care and a woman’s right to choose, and I won’t stop until
every Californian has the peace of mind that comes with universal health care.
I’m endorsed by the California Teachers Association, California Professional Firefighters, SEIU California,
the North Bay Building Trades Council, Sonoma County Board of Supervisors President James Gore,
Marin County Supervisors Judy Arnold, Stephanie Moulton-Peters, and Dennis Rodoni, Santa Rosa
Mayor Chris Rogers, San Rafael Mayor Kate Colin and dozens more. I would be honored to work for you
in Sacramento.

Mis 3 prioridades principales
- Crisis del cambio climático. Tengo un plan de acción climática que delinea las acciones para proteger a las comunidades de la sequía, las condiciones meteorológicas extremas, los devastadores incendios forestales, la elevación del nivel del mar, y para descarbonizar nuestra economía antes de 2030.
- Los servicios de salud mental como parte de los cuidados de salud asequibles. Nuestras comunidades se han enfrentado durante mucho tiempo a la falta de apoyo para las necesidades de salud mental, mientras los adultos mayores y otras personas se encuentran más aislados.
- Vivienda asequible y falta de vivienda. California se enfrenta a una falta de vivienda y a una crisis de vivienda sin precedentes. Un creciente número de adultos mayores, veteranos y familias con niños están en riesgo, y hay pocas opciones de vivienda que nuestra fuerza laboral local pueda pagar.

Mis 3 prioridades principales
- Preservar la vitalidad de la comunidad en North Bay. Esto incluye el apoyo a los negocios locales y la preservación de los espacios abiertos y las granjas familiares. Expandiré las opciones de vivienda para que los maestros y otros trabajadores esenciales vivan en las comunidades a las que prestan servicios.
- Sistemas de agricultura y alimentación saludable. Lucharé por implementar programas de agricultura respetuosos con el clima, defender el financiamiento de incentivos de nutrición que ayuden a las personas de bajos ingresos y a la economía agrícola local, y facilitar la transición a prácticas sustentables.
- Educación y juventud. Apoyo el financiamiento total y justo de las escuelas públicas de California para ubicar a California dentro de los 10 primeros puestos de inversión por alumno, además de respaldar el acceso a los consejeros de salud mental en las escuelas, lo cual es crucial para apoyar a los estudiantes.

Biografía
The son of an immigrant, Steve Schwartz's dedication to the community and public service runs deep. Steve served in the Peace Corps, was a graduate fellow at the US Environmental Protection Agency, and was Chief of Staff to two California Assemblymembers. Schwartz, 56 years old, has more than 25 years of experience leading non-profit organizations that have had local, state, and national impact.
As an elected leader on the Gravenstein Union School District Board, Steve Schwartz earned the respect of many as he supported teachers, fought for equity in programming to serve all students, and expanded the District’s partnerships with youth sports programs.
Steve founded the non-profit California FarmLink in 1998 with a vision of helping farmers get access to land and capital. In 2012 Schwartz founded the Interfaith Sustainable Food Collaborative that has worked with over 400 faith-based groups and organic farmers to expand affordable access to local, farm-fresh products. His team has facilitated Buddhist, Christian, Muslim, and Jewish congregations developing community gardens and nutrition incentives for low-income families. He led a coalition in 2021 successfully advocating for the State of California to, for the first time, augment federal Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Program dollars.
Steve was honored to serve on the California Reinvestment Coalition’s state-wide board working to ensure banks invest in low-income communities and communities of color. His broader board leadership experience includes International Farm Transition Network, Sonoma County Farm Trails, Congregation B’nai Israel, and the Marin Food Policy Council. Steve lives and works in the newly created 12th Assembly District where he raises his daughters, and operates a small Sonoma County organic farm.

Mis 3 prioridades principales
- Quiero que el cuidado de la salud de pagador único se convierta en una realidad en California, con cobertura universal, beneficios integrales y la libertad de elegir a los proveedores de cuidados de la salud. Respaldado por Healthcare for All California, un líder en este tema.
- Como trabajador social, veo cada día que la crisis de vivienda está afectando a los miembros más vulnerables de nuestro estado. Para terminar con la inseguridad por la falta de vivienda debemos construir viviendas más asequibles, de acuerdo con las normas ecológicas, cerca de los medios de transporte y los trabajos.
- La crisis climática es una amenaza existencial que debemos atender con urgencia en esta década. Creo que existe una obligación ética para resolver todos estos asunto críticos junto con la crisis de la inequidad.

Biografía
I joined this race because I believe this election is crucial in so many ways. Not for just our district, but for California. Skeptics say I got into this race too late, but I don’t believe that for one second. I have a unique perspective and a voice for change that we have not seen in our AD 12 representation before. With the support I have received in just this short period, I know this campaign is resonating with people.
I’m a native Californian and a longtime resident of Marin City, one of five children born to working class parents living in public housing. As a child, I was part of Marin City and Sausalito’s school integration at Central Elementary and was bussed across town to school.
My mother, Betty Times, was a longtime activist and public servant in Marin. I too felt the need to serve my community in a more dedicated and personal way. I got my master’s degree in Social Work and this path interlinked with that of my late husband, Edward Lee Green, affectionately known as Boone. Together, we founded “One Kid at a Time,” a nonprofit dedicated to mentoring at-risk children and young adults. In doing this work, and thinking back to when I was a child being bussed, I accepted the appointment as a Sausalito Marin City School Board Trustee in 2014 and subsequently won election as the top vote-getter in 2018. In the 8 years I have served on the Board, we have been fighting to desegregate one of the most unequal school districts in the state. We brought people together to confront historic racism, economic differences, and a legal mandate from Attorney General Becerra to change. There is still work to be done, but we are forging a bright future for all the children in our district.
We need to build healthy, sustainable, equitable communities. We must listen to the voices that often go unheard. As a resilient Black woman, I know what it is like not to be heard. I want to change that.
