Mark Stone
For State Assembly, 29th District

Party Preference: Democratic
Occupation: Assemblymember                                                     Age: 59

For nearly twenty years, I have fought to improve our quality of life in California as a School Board Member, County Supervisor, Coastal Commissioner and your Assemblymember. You sent me to Sacramento to advocate for the rights of people in the 29th Assembly District and across our state. During my service in the Assembly, I have prioritized protecting the most vulnerable Californians. I authored comprehensive reforms to help foster youth grow up in supportive homes. I jointly wrote the End of Life Options Act to help people facing terminal illness. I led the movement to create a state Earned Income Tax Credit to lift the state’s poorest working families out of poverty. I helped improve access to justice in the court system, and I wrote a variety of laws to improve public safety, and to help people released from prison successfully integrate into their communities, and decrease their chances of reoffending.

As a dedicated environmentalist, I have remained steadfast against strong opposition to critical environmental protections. I advocated for landmark climate-change laws, and laws to provide clean drinking water, increase water recycling, and improve groundwater management. I was a key voice for California’s 2014 plastic bag law to reduce plastic pollution.

It is an honor to have the support of so many elected officials, respected business leaders, education, and health care professionals and the environmental community. I hope that I have earned your vote.  Learn more at www.FriendsOfMarkStone.org
