It helps to know your legislator’s record before you contact them. Our Score Card tool does the work for you, giving a clear snapshot of their voting history.
In 2025, the California State Legislature introduced just over 3,000 bills. Among the thousands of bills were some of the worst bills we have seen in California’s legislative history. Below are short summaries of a handful of the bills we tracked in 2025.
