  • Assm. Soria was called out in the press during her 2022 campaign after seeming to break her pledges to the Green New Deal and No Fossil Fuel Money when she accepted donations from Chevron, Phillips 66, Marathon Petroleum, Exxon Mobile, and Edison International. As a legislator, she has failed to hold these types of companies accountable by recording no vote on SB253 to require annual emissions reporting for companies with more than $1 billion in revenue. 
  • She was endorsed by California Coalition of Law Enforcement Associations and California Correctional Peace Officers Association during her 2022 campaign, and has been a dedicated opponent of criminal justice reform in her first session. She failed to vote on AB1034 to prohibit the use of facial recognition software in body cameras, AB1306 to prevent individuals eligible for release from being transferred to ICE custody, and AB958 to restore up to three personal visits per week for incarcerated individuals.
