Senator Wiener continues to be a steadfast advocate of progressive change, and extends his streak of earning an A-rating on our annual Courage Score every year since he joined the state senate in 2016. This year, he has continued his pursuit of legislation that will require the state to divest public pensions from fossil fuels by co-authoring SB252. Building on this focus on climate justice, he has also co-authored two bills designed to create more corporate accountability for emissions, including SB253 to require businesses with an annual revenue over $1 billion to publicly report their emissions, and SB261 to require businesses with annual revenue over $500 million to produce biennial reports on their climate risk. He serves as the Chair of the Select Committee on Mental Health, and has co-authored SB770 to initiate the process of stakeholder and funder engagement toward the creation of a comprehensive statewide single-payer healthcare system. A longtime progressive leader in the legislature, Senator Wiener serves on 10 committees, and is the Chair of the Housing Committee, and chair of the Select Committee on Bay Area Transit. These positions, along with his affirmative vote on every scorecard bill he had the opportunity to vote on this session, solidify his All-Star status.
