After Tuesday’s results, there will almost certainly be a June runoff election in one of the more contentious of an unusual flurry of special elections prompted by the “Great Resignation” of state legislators. A south San Diego Assembly seat opened up when progressive Lorena Gonzalez, a one-person factory of state-shaping, headline-grabbing legislation, stepped down in January to take the top job at the California Labor Federation, the state branch of the AFL-CIO. That left a surprise vacancy that organized labor groups and deep-pocketed business interests — the two political forces that regularly battle for the soul of the California Democratic Party — are eager to fill with the candidate of their choosing. So far, the two Democratic candidates, Georgette Gómez and David Alvarez, have raised a total of more than $770,000 in direct contributions. 
But even more, more than $1.2 million, has been spent by independent expenditure committees — groups typically funded by large corporations and unions that are not subject to the contribution limits that restrict a candidate’s fundraising efforts. 
Where’s all the special interest money coming from? 
In many cases, it’s the usual suspects of California electioneering. But contribution records filed with the state also include a few surprises, including the first sign of a new, aggressive electoral strategy by the ridesharing giant Uber, plus some surprisingly big donations from a single towing company in Sacramento.
Gómez, a community organizer and former City Council president who unsuccessfully ran for Congress in 2020, is the preferred candidate of labor, including teachers’ unions and the California Nurses Association. Gonzalez endorsed Gómez in early February. The state’s largest business groups have gotten behind Alvarez, a small business owner who narrowly lost his race for San Diego mayor in 2014 and shared the city council dais with Gómez.
CALMATTERS 2022 VOTER GUIDEWhat Californians need to know to prepare to voteGO TO VOTER GUIDE]At first glance, the stakes in Assembly District 80 are minor. The winner only secures the job through the end of the year. There were three candidates on Tuesday’s ballot, the other a little-known Republican. In unofficial results, Gómez won 38.2% of the vote and Alvarez won 37.8%, setting up a runoff on June 7. 
That day, the same three candidates, plus a second Republican, are running in the new version of the district drawn by the state’s redistricting commission. The top two in that primary go on to November. The ultimate winner gets a full two-year term starting in January 2023.
But the race has taken on supersized proportions. And that’s only partially because the district was recently represented by the state’s best known union ally. 
“We don’t want a seat held by a working peoples’ champion ending up going to someone who is in the pocket of big business,” said Steve Smith, spokesperson for the California Labor Federation. “But I do think if we’re able to retain this seat and win here, I think it sets us up nicely for a number of other districts where we’ll have that same contrast.”
Unions and business interests are used to battling it out in Democratic races. For at least two decades, as the state’s Republican party has descended into near political irrelevance, labor and business have poured money into Democratic-leaning districts where the choice is not between Republican red and Democratic blue, but moderate periwinkle and progressive navy. Often these are the most expensive races in the state. 
This year could be bigger than most. “We don’t want a seat held by a working peoples’ champion ending up going to someone who is in the pocket of big business.”STEVE SMITH, SPOKESPERSON FOR THE CALIFORNIA LABOR FEDERATIONOne reason: a staggering number of announced departures from the Legislature as long-serving members are being pushed out by term limits, are stepping aside in the face of unfavorable new district maps, or are seeking offices higher up the political food chain. All that churn will leave a 25-member hole in the state’s Democratic caucus. For interest groups with a stake in what happens under the state Capitol dome, that presents a rare opportunity to reshape California’s supermajority party and potentially influence state policy for years. 
Marty Wilson, who directs the campaign operation of the California Chamber of Commerce, called the Assembly race in San Diego an “attractive opportunity” for business interests who would love to see Gonzalez replaced with a friendlier kind of Democrat. But he also sees the race as a kind of warm-up scrimmage.
“This is a signal of things to come,” he said. 
Special interest money pours inSo far, the two Democrats have amassed six-digit totals in direct donations to their campaign coffers. Gómez has raised nearly $470,000, much of which has come from her organized labor allies. Alvarez has raised more than $300,000, with sizable contributions from medical providers, real estate firms, oil companies and titans of the “gig economy.” Lincoln Pickard, a retired contractor who is the GOP candidate in the race, hasn’t reported any contributions. 
Even more has been spent by independent expenditure groups that are not bound by state campaign contribution limits (for a legislative campaign, that’s $4,900 from individuals and $9,700 from committees). More than $670,000 has been spent to help Gómez or hurt Alvarez, while about $535,000 has been spent to do the opposite.
These committees can spend as much as they like to promote or disparage anyone in the race, so long as they don’t communicate or coordinate with the candidates. In California politics, independent expenditures tend to play an outsized role in negative campaigning, leaving the candidates themselves with clean hands.
 Flourish hierarchy chartThe biggest spending committee so far, Nurses and Educators for Georgette Gomez for Assembly 2022, is largely funded by the California Labor Federation and the Service Employees International Union.
On the other side, the biggest Alvarez backer is Keeping Californians Working, a committee that is funded by a wide variety of business interests. In early March, it received a $250,000 contribution from Uber Innovation political action committee. Uber is no stranger to California politics. In 2020, the company spent nearly $60 million from its corporate treasury to promote Proposition 22, a successful ballot measure to overturn a state law authored by Gonzalez that required gig companies to treat their employees as employees, not independent contractors. The company has also made direct contributions to candidates. But Uber Innovation is a new political endeavor launched last year by the company with the purpose of spending more on independent expenditures.The state Chamber of Commerce sponsors two of the other bigger committees boosting Alvarez. Records show that both have raised little this year, largely drawing on funds received over the last two major elections cycles from the likes of Uber, Lyft, the San Diego-based energy company Sempra and tobacco giant Philip Morris. This year, the two committees only received a single contribution, a $15,000 cash infusion from Amazon.
The fourth biggest spending committee in the race, and certainly the most mysterious one, is called San Diego Families Opposing Georgette Gomez. Major funders to the committee are neither families nor from San Diego. They include JobsPAC, one of the chamber-affiliated committees; Californians for Jobs and a Strong Economy, another business-funded committee and a regular funder of the campaigns of moderate Democrats; a self-described real estate developer in southeast Los Angeles County who has been fined twice by the state’s campaign finance watchdog agency while managing the funds of committees in other southern California races; and the former mayor of West Covina. 
But the largest contributor to the committee by far, as first reported by Voice of San Diego, is Ramos Towing, a towing company from the eastern outskirts of Sacramento. The company, through its owner Henry Ramos, has contributed a cumulative $49,500 to the anti-Gómez effort. 
That’s a notable sum. Under state law if a single donor gives more than $50,000 to an independent expenditure committee, it is required to list that person or company as a “top donor” on its campaign material. Ramos did not respond to requests for comment by phone and email.
Gonzalez, the former incumbent, asserted that it’s telling that while the pro-Gómez spending is easy to identify as coming from organized labor, the funding and the political organizing behind San Diego Families Opposing Georgette Gomez are much more opaque. 
“If I were oil and landlords and big corporations and insurance companies, I’d probably hide, too, because my district doesn’t buy that,“ she said.

If candidates go too negative, they risk turning off voters. But a committee with a nebulous name — say, the “Coalition to Restore California’s Middle Class” or “Keeping Californians Working” — can afford to offend whomever they like. Here’s an exploration of the most lucrative spenders on these committees — and what they want out of the Capitol.[graf]nice chartoil gasWho they are:As major employers in California with a unionized workforce and huge budgets to spend on campaigns and lobbying, oil companies such as Chevron, Valero and Phillips, as well as gas and electric utilities like PG&E and Sempra, have a lot of clout in the statehouse.

Oil and gas interests have spent $1.3 million to help Villapudua, who has aligned himself with the Assembly’s moderate Democrats. Most of the spending — about 55% — has gone toward attacking Miller.

Prop 22 will exempt companies in the so-called gig economy from having to classify their workers in the state as employees rather than as independent contractors. Uber, Lyft and other companies that rely on gig workers spent more than $200 million to promote Prop 22, and a survey of California voters who voted “yes” on the measure showed 40% thought they were supporting gig workers’ ability to earn a living wage, even though critics say the measure will do the opposite. </div><div style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">

A majority vote — one-half plus one — is what it takes to pass a bill in most legislative bodies. The constitution requires a "supermajority," meaning two-thirds of a governing body, for only the most important and crucial matters: to override a presidential veto, or remove an officer via impeachment, say.</div><div style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">
</div><div style="">If two-thirds seems like a high threshold for a congressional body, what about seven-eighths? That's the super-duper-majority that would be required to overturn Proposition 22 — the Uber- and Lyft-funded ballot measure that will appear on California ballots this November — should it pass this fall.</div><div style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">
</div><div>You read that right: the astroturf ballot measure written by some of Silicon Valley's biggest corporations, which is written to keep these companies' contractors from achieving benefits or a stable, salaried job, would require a seven-eighths majority of state legislators in both state chambers in order to be overturned — such a difficult threshold to meet that experts say it would be effectively permanent.</div><div>
</div><div>The origin of Proposition 22</div><div>
</div><div>It all goes back to California's Assembly Bill 5, which went into effect on January 1, 2020. The impetus for AB5 was to make gig economy work into more stable and reliable work, and reduce worker exploitation; currently, driver-contractors like those who work for Uber or Lyft are not guaranteed health care of any other benefits if they work more than 40 hours a week, as they are legally contractors rather than employees.</div><div style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">
</div><div style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Likewise, such drivers and deliverypersons often make less than minimum wage after their own expenses are accounted for. AB5, which put into place a "test" to determine whether someone is a contractor or employee, was designed to lift these kinds of workers out of poverty.</div><div style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">
</div><div>Yet since AB5 passed through California's state legislature, Uber and Lyft have refused to comply; instead, they chose to pour over $180 million into the astroturf campaign for Proposition 22. Similar gig worker-reliant companies have chipped into the campaign, too. DoorDash has donated $47.5 million; Instacart has donated $27.5 million, and Postmates has contributed a little over $10 million.</div><div style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">
</div><div>According to Ballotpedia, Proposition 22 is the most expensive ballot measure contest in California, and the United States — and if it passes, it will set an example for the corporations that funded it that they could use as a model in other states. Indeed, the companies are funneling so much money into this campaign because there's a lot at stake. For example, Los Angeles and San Francisco are two of the five largest markets for Uber, which has stated in financial disclosures that new regulations in major metro areas could negatively affect their financials. Many of their workers have criticized these companies for pouring so much money into a campaign as they struggle to receive basic support, like personal protective equipment and hand sanitizer, from their employers during the pandemic.</div><div style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">
</div><div style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Proposition 22 is more than just a determination of classification, though. Labor experts fear it will be a major setback for labor rights, the community at large, and that it will send the wrong signal to other states who have been exploring ways to regulate these companies.</div><div style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">
</div><div style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">"They have basically operated as though the law does not apply to them," Ken Jacobs, the chair of the UC Berkeley Center for Labor Research and Education, told Salon. "And I think that signals to other states around the country, 'Don't try to enforce your laws because we have the political power and resources to defeat you if you do.'"</div><div style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">
</div><div style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">We spoke to experts about the fine print of Proposition 22, and how it will affect Uber and Lyft drivers in the state of California if passed.</div><div style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">
</div><div>1. Very few drivers will actually qualify for health insurance benefits</div><div style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">
</div><div style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Uber and Lyft have positioned Proposition 22 as a "third way" solution to provide more benefits to drivers. The campaign states on its website that voting "yes" on Proposition 22 will provide drivers with "new benefits and protections in these tough economic times including a minimum earnings guarantee, access to health carebenefits and insurance against illnesses and injuries acquired on the job."</div><div>
</div><div>Yet this depends on a driver's "engaged time," according to the proposition, meaning the time between accepting a ride and completing the ride. This doesn't factor the time a driver is waiting in between drives. For drivers who average 25 hour per week of engaged time during a calendar quarter, Uber and Lyft will provide "subsidies equal to 82% the average California Covered (CC) premium for each month." For those who average between 15 and 25 hours of "engaged time" each quarter, the companies will provide healthcare subsidies equal to 41 percent the average CC premium for each month.</div><div style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">
</div><div>"They purport to have a healthcare reimbursement piece here, but it's very weak and very few drivers would qualify, or at least qualify for the larger amount of it,"Jacobs said.</div><div style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">
</div><div style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Rey Fuentes, Skadden Fellow at the Partnership for Working Families, told Salon that drivers would essentially have to drive 40 hours a week to get that 25 hours of engaged time to qualify for the best offer. In a report Fuentes co-authored, he notes a second way in which drivers will be essentially cheated of quality healthcare options. "By using the definitions section to ensure that the maximum benefit is actually 82 percent of an average premium payment for the lowest-cost healthcare plan on the Covered California insurance exchange, not a worker's actual premium expenses," the report states.</div><div style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">
</div><div style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">2. Drivers won't be guaranteed paid leave or paid sick days</div><div style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">
</div><div style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Under the current California state and federal law, app-based workers are required to have a minimum of eight weeks of paid family leave, and three days of paid leave for illness or care of a family member. None of this is part of Proposition 22. In the report Fuentes co-authored, the researchers call this omission "glaring," especially in the pandemic, in which many rideshare and delivery drivers are considered to be "essential workers."</div><div style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">
</div><div style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">"Although some app-based companies have created limited sick leave benefits to respond to this crisis, these plans are voluntary and temporary, and cannot be added to this initiative before voters can weigh in on the ballot measure," the authors write.</div><div style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">
</div><div style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Fuentes says there are many drivers who drive to make money to help support a sick family member.</div><div style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">
</div><div style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">"They're doing it because they're caring for individuals who have illnesses and families, or they have an illness themselves that they can't have traditional employment because your work arrangements are precarious," Fuentes said. "That's why it's actually more important that those workers get things like paid sick leave or paid family leave."</div><div style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">
</div><div style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Since drivers have to work at least 40 hours a week to reach 25 hours of "engaged time," taking a vacation will likely affect whether they qualify for healthcare benefits.</div><div style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">
</div><div>3. Drivers won't be able to unionize</div><div style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">
</div><div>This year, more drivers have been organizing to protest unfair labor practices and the lack of protections during the pandemic. However, if Proposition 22 passes, drivers won't be able to unionize and leverage the power of collective bargaining. Under federal law, according to the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), app-based drivers are said to lack benefits of collective bargaining because they're more like "entrepreneurs," legally speaking. While the legality of this is disputed by various labor organizations, Fuentes said this leaves an opening for states to "establish a separate organizing statute that gives workers the lawful ability to form a union under state law."</div><div style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">
</div><div style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">"The ballot initiative, however, would prevent the state legislature from ever considering a collective bargaining regime unless it gets a 7/8ths vote of the state legislature, which is an impossible threshold," Fuentes said.</div><div style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">
</div><div style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">4. Proposition 22 reverses key worker benefit if there's a car accident</div><div style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">
</div><div>"From a driver's perspective this is actually one of the things we think is so harmful about the ballot initiatives," Fuentes said. "California provides workers compensation protection to drivers injured on the job, and that benefit is covered through what is called no-fault coverage."</div><div style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">
</div><div style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Even if they are at fault for the accident or contributed to it, all workers in California are covered by the workers compensation statute. Fuentes said Proposition 22 "reverses that."</div><div style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">
</div><div style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">"This suggests to us very clearly that workers could be denied coverage if they're even partially at fault, which is not something that should ever happen with a workers compensation scheme," Fuentes said. "And the broader part is that workers who are seriously injured and partially disabled or permanently disabled, you can access that up to a lifetime benefit through California's Workers Compensations Temporary Disability Program, but the ballot initiative capped at two years."</div><div style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">
</div><div style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">5. These reversals and precedents will be most likely permanent</div><div style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">
</div><div style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Most astonishing is that Proposition 22, if passed, will be very difficult to amend, since that would require a seven-eighths (87.5%) vote in each chamber of the California State Legislature.

Unfortunately, our political system has been hijacked by those who advocate for policies that serve their own gains, rather than the public good.Corporations and lobbyists should not have a greater say in our political process than everyday working families. We must work to return power to the people and increase the voice of individual citizens.I support:
- A constitutional amendment overturning Citizens United and allowing Congress to set reasonable regulations on political donations.
- Requiring all “dark money” groups to disclose both their donors and their spending when engaged in activity meant to influence a federal election.
- Requiring all publicly traded companies to disclose their campaign spending to the Securities and Exchange Commission.
- Reforming the Federal Election Commission so that it is empowered to actually enforce our campaign finance laws.
- Establishing a small donor public matching system for all federal elections.
- Strengthening the rules that prohibit coordination between candidates and Super PACs."<hr style="border-style: solid; border-color: gray; border-image: initial; height: 1px;" /><h3 style="margin: 0.8em 0px; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.25em;">California: US House of Representatives, District 50</h3>Ammar Campa-Najjar (9/27/18) "I support amending the U.S. Constitution to make clear that corporations and other artificial entities do not have Constitutional rights and that money is not speech and campaign spending should be limited through regulation."RESPONSE: Yes“I will use my office to support the Movement to Amend the Constitution by passing resolutions, proposing legislation, and publicly speaking out about the need for this Amendment.”RESPONSE: YesHow will you use your public office to end corporate constitutional rights and big money in politics?"I will work with Elizabeth Warren on an Anti-Corruption bill that help rid of dark money in politics and makes it easier to see how money flows from PACs to candidates.
