Dave Cortese for CA Senate 2020 Information

"I've worked with Dave for over a decade. I have seen him work tirelessly on issues that impact us every day. Dave is a strong supporter of education, public safety and health care." Dave has been a leader on important issues facing our community, and he will continue to lead when elected to the State Senate." "We need leaders who are willing to stand up to entrenched special interests and fight for what is right. At this critical time in California history, I believe that Dave Cortese is the best candidate to fight for us in the State Senate." Supervisor Cortese has long been an advocate for women in Santa Clara County, having initiated the Gender and Ethnicity Pay Equity Ordinance. Just as hes done on the county level, Im confident he will continue to champion these issues in Sacramento. I especially appreciate Dave's tireless work on behalf of children. He found out that we had very young kids in Juvenile Hall and developed the policy to say that nobody under 12 would stay in lock-up. It was a game-changer for these traumatized children. "Hes won awards for his work on jail reform, domestic violence issues and the rights of immigrants. Dave is a champion for social justice." Ive worked with Dave for nearly three decades. Dave supports workers rights, immigrant rights and strong public schools for all our students. Lets send him to the State Senate so he can keep the great work going." "Daves commitment to public service, not just as a job, but as a vocation, is inspiring. I have no doubt that our state and our county will be strengthened by Daves service in the Senate."
