Represents: Downey, Norwalk, and law enforcement corruption
Supports: Cops, and sidestepping votes that would curb their authority, like AB1034 to ban the use of facial recognition software in body cameras, and AB1266 to eliminate the use of discriminatory bench warrants for minor infractions
Opposes: Bills that protect citizen privacy and prevent police overreach, like AB93 to prevent warrantless searches even with the permission of the property owner
Shameful Vote: Pacheco authored AB1707 to keep California healthcare providers and medical facilities out of reach of another state’s hostile licensing laws related to their provision of abortion and gender-affirming. However, when it was time to vote on AB793, which established digital data protections for the out-of-state patients seeking that care, Pacheco failed to record a vote. With big dollar donations from California Medical Association PAC and California Hospital Association PAC, it seems she’s more interested in protecting the healthcare industry and its bloated bottom line than the disenfranchised patients who need treatment.
What were they thinking?: Pacheco received the endorsement of more than 14 major labor unions during her 2022 campaign for Assembly, from industries that included carpentry, steamfitting, healthcare, farm work, and law enforcement. However, during her first session in the Assembly, she avoided votes on SB497 to protect workers from retaliation after they report labor violations and unequal pay, and SB553 to require employers to create workplace safety plans and keep documentation about threats or incidents. Unfortunately, workers are still waiting for a return on investment for their generous campaign support.
