'Assemblymember Marie Waldron'
Assemblymember Waldron -It’s Always Wildfire Season
Assemblymember Marie Waldron-May was Wildfire Preparedness Month, with the danger of wildfires increasing as we head into summer. Last winter’s record rainfall generated a massive amount of fuel throughout California, and San Diego County is no exception. Drive down almost any road in the backcountry and you’ll see overgrown and increasingly dry vegetation everyplace you […]

Assemblymember Marie Waldron -On Tuesday, May 9th, we recognized National Fentanyl Awareness Day. Each month, fentanyl claims the lives of 500 Californians and nationally, fentanyl overdose deaths more than tripled over the past few years. I serve on the state’s first Select Committee on Fentanyl, Opioid Addiction, and Overdose Prevention. I intend to bring attention to […]
Read More →Assemblymember Waldron -Help for Small Businesses
Assemblymember Marie Waldron -Small businesses are the backbone of our economy, employing well over 90% of California’s workers. As a small business owner, my experience coping with overbearing bureaucracy and unnecessary regulations were some of the main reasons I first ran for public office. Obviously, California should do more to encourage small business formation and […]
Read More →Assemblymember Waldron – Rural Healthcare Access
Assemblymember Marie Waldron -Millions of Californians live in Health Professional Shortage Areas (HPSAs), many located in rural parts of the state, like in my district. Improving access to healthcare for those living in underserved areas has been a major focus for me in Sacramento. The California Health Foundation notes that rural residents including tribal lands, […]

Assemblymember Marie Waldron -One of my passions in public service is encouraging young women to fulfill their life’s potential by taking full advantage of available educational opportunities.

Read More →Assemblymember Waldron – California’s Business Climate – Better, or Worse?
Assemblymember Marie Waldron -California has long been recognized for its unfriendly business climate. During the pandemic, a bad situation got worse when the state forced thousands of mostly small businesses to shut down, driving many companies into bankruptcy and forcing layoffs for thousands of workers. The last thing we need now are more laws imposing […]

Sacramento, CA -Assemblymember Marie Waldron -On March 28 th , the Native American Caucus held a hearing in Sacramento to discuss fentanyl’s impact on tribal communities and to raise awareness along with identifying solutions to the crisis.

Assemblymember Marie Waldron — There are over 400,000 people living with Down syndrome in the United States. About 5,100 babies are born with Down syndrome each year, about one in every 772 births, making it the most commonly occurring chromosomal condition. In 1866, an English doctor named John Langdon Down published a scholarly work describing […]
Read More →Assemblymember Waldron – California Agriculture

Read More →Assemblymember Waldron – The Little Engine That Couldn’t
Assemblymember Marie Waldron -California’s high-speed rail project keeps chugging along, despite cost overruns, construction delays, and forgotten promises. In 2008, voters passed Prop.1A, a $9.5 billion bond measure to help finance high-speed rail. Promises included keeping costs under $40 billion, the state’s maximum investment would be 30%, funding from federal, private and local sources would […]
Read More →Assemblymember Waldron – Legislative Follies
Assemblymember Marie Waldron -Gas prices are rising again and some are predicting $7 gas by this summer. We can’t let that happen. The Governor has called a Special Joint Legislative Session to deal with the problem, but the proposals on the table would make matters worse. According to the California Energy Commission, costs at the […]
Read More →Assemblymember Waldron – Immediate Action Is Required
Assemblymember Marie Waldron -Gas prices are rising again and Californians need relief. Completely eliminating our highest-in-the-nation gas tax would be an important step, but that’s a non-starter as far as the Sacramento majority is concerned. But, with the Governor’s approval, other steps can be taken immediately. Last week my colleagues and I wrote a letter […]
Read More →Assemblymember Waldron -Missing Indigenous People
Assemblymember Marie Waldron- San Diego County has more tribal governments than any other county in the nation. Since these communities are all located within the 75th Assembly District, tribal issues are very important to me, especially regarding their safety and prosperity. With approximately 110 federally recognized tribes, California is home to more Native American and […]
Read More →Assemblymember Waldron – Natural Gas, Oil, & The California Public Utilities Commission
Assemblymember Marie Waldron – For years California has had the nation’s highest energy costs. Recent price increases for natural gas have added to the misery, and have led to renewed interest in the California Public Utilities Commission, which has held hearings on the price increases under its authority to regulate and oversee utilities. The CPUC was […]
Read More →Assemblymember Waldron -Safety is Government’s Responsibility
Assemblymember Marie Waldron – Public safety should be government’s top priority. That’s why I’m supporting a new legislative initiative in Sacramento that will enhance public safety by restoring felony penalties for many crimes now plaguing California. Obviously, serious crimes demand serious consequences. One day last week, Border Patrol agents seized fentanyl, cocaine and heroin valued […]

Sacramento, CA – Last week, the California Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) announced California has received approval from the federal government to become the first state in the nation to allow specific physical and behavioral health care services for people incarcerated in state prisons to access California’s Medi-Cal system 90 days prior to their […]
Read More →Assemblymember Waldron – Water, Water, Everywhere
Assemblymember Marie Waldron -In 2014 voters approved a $7.5 billion water bond, which included $2.7 billion for construction of new dams and reservoirs. Unfortunately, few projects are underway, or even being planned. Our largest dams and reservoirs were built before 1979, most between 1945 and 1968, when our population was less than half its current […]
