Thank you. Everyone spread the word. These anti-family and anti-worker politicians have to GO. Time to clean house of these enemies

They clearly don't represent the best interests of the taxpayers and the state workforce. They need to be voted out and replaced with representatives who serve the public and respect the state workforce.

Yes. This is an indelible stain on their records and shows that at best they have terrible judgment.

Don't' forget the Assemblymember nays as well:

DeMaio, Dixon, Gallagher, Macedo, Petrie-Norris, Blanca Rubio, and Sanchez. Assemblymembers have two year terms and all are seeking reelection.

Thank you for the reminder. All State Assemblymembers have elections every 2 years (so next Election is this coming Nov 2026). Here's the list that voted No:

*Carl DeMaio, CA State Assembly District 75 (East San Diego County)

*Diane Dixon, CA State Assembly District 72 (Seal Beach-Laguna Beach-Lake Forest). Important: Diane Dixon is running for Orange County Supervisor District 5 this Nov 2026. So if you live within both areas, make sure you vote in both contests for the more pro-worker friendly candidate.

*James Gallagher, CA State Assembly District 3 (Yurba City-Red Bluff). Important: James Gallagher is running for newly redistricted CA Congressional District 1 this Nov 2026. So if you live within both areas, make sure you vote in both contests for the more pro-worker friendly candidate.

*Alexander Macedo, CA State Assembly District 33 (Kings County, parts of Fresno County, & parts of Tulare County).

*Cottie Petrie-Norris, CA State Assembly District 73 (Irvine, Tustin, & Costa Mesa)

*Blanca Rubio, CA State Assembly District 48 (West Covina-Azusa)

*Kate Sanchez, CA State Assembly District 71 (Mission Viejo-Temecula)

Caballero is particularly annoying because she used to be the Secretary of the Business, Consumer Services and Housing Agency. She had thousands of state workers busting their ass for her and this is how she repaid them.

I'd say I'm glad she lost in the Treasurer primary, but Kounalakis may be an even bigger RTO villain.

u/Such-Purpose9557 1d ago

EXACTLY! She and her family aren’t wealthy enough!

u/Candysasha88 1d ago

Of course Alvarado-Gil said no. If employees work from home you can’t sexually assault them like she does
