"So far, she's introduced 40 bills, 13 of which have passed; she's authored multiple bills that address California's election system. In upcoming legislation, Pellerin is taking aim at artificial intelligence and the impact it could have on elections."

"Pellerin was a widely admired election supervisor in Santa Cruz County, and she continues to be a strong voice in Sacramento on voting rights and mental health support, as well as climate change."

"As an example, Pellerin cited one recent ad that used artificial intelligence to create a voice that sounded like President Joe Biden. “We have to stay ahead of the deep fakes and bad actors that are out there trying to wreak chaos with our elections,” Pellerin said."

"These candidates and incumbents are prepared to continue advancing our reproductive freedoms in California.

"California has some of the strongest voting laws in the nation and continues working to make elections more accessible for all... allows voters with a disability to complete a regular ballot outside of any polling place — known as curbside voting — and removes the requirement for a voter to declare under oath that they are unable to mark their ballot in order to receive assistance doing so."

“Gail Pellerin filed election paperwork for most of her adult career as the chief elections officer in Santa Cruz County, but she’s getting used to the process now from the other side of the desk. “I feel like it has been a great year,” Pellerin said in a phone interview this week. “I sent 10 bills to the governor and he signed all of them. So I’ve got a 100% batting record there.””

“Assemblymember Gail Pellerin, a former Santa Cruz County clerk, ended thelegislative session with 10 of her bills signed into law. Of those, six focused onvoting. One bill, AB 969, takes direct aim at a controversy over a Shasta Countyplan to hand-count ballots in an upcoming special election.”

“Five of the bills were authored by Assemblymember Gail Pellerin, D-Santa Cruz, chair of the Assembly Elections Committee and a former Santa Cruz County clerk, the position that administers elections.Pellerin’s district includes portions of northern Santa Cruz County, sections of South San Jose and Santa Clara Counties and the cities of Los Gatos, Morgan Hill, Santa Cruz and Scotts Valley.”

John Laird and Assemblymember Gail Pellerin — proudly outline strides our state has made in assuring that the rights of LGBTQIA+ people are protected.

“I’m honored to have the confidence of the speaker and continue to work to ensure that California is the gold standard for secure, accurate, transparent and accessible elections,” Pellerin said. “I look forward to continuing the work to improve the voter experience, ensure voting system integrity and enhance the accuracy of our voter rolls.”

"California Senate Bill 629, introduced by state Sen. Dave Cortese, would allow the West Valley-Mission Community College District to stop charging its students tuition and cover other costs such as transportation and books.
