What legislative bills are currently in the State Senate? Is there legislation to tackle the housing problem? What about Senate Bill 827? What does Costa Haskins mean? Are there legislative bills about health care? How does a legislative bill get written? How do committee meetings have an effect on legislation? What about the Budget? How are decisions made? Come hear State Senator Nancy Skinner, a social justice advocate, energy and climate change trailblazer, and accomplished legislator.

Elected in November of 2016, State Senator Nancy Skinner represents California’s 9th Senate District which includes Berkeley, parts of Oakland, Piedmont, Richmond and San Pablo. Skinner completed three terms in the State Assembly, where she served as Chair of three key committees: Budget, Rules and Natural Resources. As Budget Chair she oversaw the largest funding boost to childcare and preschool in over a decade; increased state support to our State University and UC systems, cut the number of juveniles incarcerated in state facilities by half, and established a new dedicated fund to reduce prison recidivism.
