A perennial All-Star, Sen. Lena Gonzalez earns her sixth consecutive perfect Courage Score. A member of the committee on Environmental Quality and Health, she authored SB 674 to require refineries to issue community notices when they exceed safe levels of toxic emissions. She also co-authored AB 2513 to require warning labels on all gas stoves that state the risk of pollutants, and AB 3233 to give local jurisdictions the authority to prohibit oil and gas operations in their localities. With an eye toward political accountability and transparency, she co-authored SB 1337, which requires that the top three funders of a referendum petition be printed directly on the petition and that signers acknowledge that they have read the information. Currently serving as Senate Majority Leader, Sen. Gonzalez brings leadership and legislative savvy to her legislative efforts, and has shown an ongoing commitment to policy reform as she enters her second full term in the upper chamber.
