Nov. 2022 Election: Q&A with Marie Waldron, California state Assembly District 75 candidate [Opinion]
Legislatively, my work in health care access, especially in the area of mental health and substance abuse treatment, has been very successful. As vice chair of the Assembly Committee on Health, I work every day immersed in health care policy, trends and innovations in treatment and patient advocacy. I also serve on the bipartisan mental health caucus and the Stanford University five-year initiative on.
Last legislative session, Gov. Gavin Newsom signed into law my bill, Assembly Bill 1304. The bill incentivized parolees to participate in medically assisted treatment reentry incentive programs by providing reduced parole sentences to eligible parolees who complete specified periods of treatment. Q: The California Air Resources Board has adopted a policy that would ban the sale of new gas-powered vehicles in the state by 2035. What would you do to ease the transition to electric vehicles and ensure affordability, equity and practicality?
Q: Housing affordability is a huge issue in California. What can you do to help renters or homeowners who are struggling now? Second, we need to provide shelters with wraparound services such as mental health treatment, family reunification programs, affordable housing placement and job training. We also need to identify what underlying problems are causing each individual’s situation. Many suffer from severe mental illness or drug addiction. Others happen to be just going through a stroke of bad luck that has put them in this unfortunate position.
This year, I authored Assembly Bill 1597 to undue a major problem with Proposition 47 — the serial theft prosecution. Smash and grab retail theft has become commonplace since Proposition 47 reduced certain crimes to misdemeanors. My bill would restore those penalties to pre-Proposition 47 status. Unfortunately, Assembly Bill 1597 died in committee.
Since I am not a doctor, I don’t pretend to address the medical side; however, we need to make sure we do not lose sight of the personal rights, parental rights, local control, the doctor/patient relationship and other issues that were impacted and overridden by government mandates.
