We recommend voting for Catherine Stefani for State Assembly, District 19.

Stefani has had a productive first term. She got two bills signed by Newsom in 2025: the Restitution First Act (AB 1213) (https://a19.asmdc.org/press-releases/20251007-restitution-first-act-introduced-assemblymember-catherine-stefani-and), which makes sure crime victims get paid back before other fines are collected, and a license plate cover ban (AB 1085) (https://a19.asmdc.org/press-releases/20250417-assemblymember-catherine-stefani-introduces-legislation-crack-down-license) that closes a loophole criminals used to dodge toll cameras. Gun safety is her signature issue — she founded the SF chapter of Moms Demand Action (https://www.votecatherinestefani.com/meet_catherine) and wrote SF's first-in-California ghost gun ban (https://www.sfexaminer.com/archives/sf-moves-forward-with-first-california-ghost-gun-ban/article_0adc5dd2-6419-58d3-b07e-94fb68d3221b.html) as a Supervisor.

We do have some concerns about Stefani's alignment with Sacramento special interests — particularly on issues where the priorities of state-level advocacy groups don't always match what's best for San Francisco. We'll be watching her second term closely. But on the merits of what she's done so far, she's earned our endorsement.

My occupation is Assemblymember.

I’m running for re-election to continue the fight for a safer and more affordable California. When I was sworn into the Assembly, I promised to deliver real results. In my first year, I did just that. Seven of my bills were signed into law, each aimed at strengthening public safety, expanding healthcare access, and making California more affordable. I authored Wyland’s Law to close a dangerous gap in our gun violence prevention system. I passed legislation to prevent families from losing health insurance during divorce, banned illegal license plate obstructors that undermine law enforcement, and ensured crime victims receive restitution payments first. I advanced solutions to address our maternal healthcare workforce shortage, supported nonprofit hospitals, and laid a strong foundation for California’s offshore wind future. My office responded to thousands of constituent requests and helped secure over $1.2 million in benefits for local families and seniors. In Sacramento, I’ll continue to fight for the resources we need to tackle the drug crisis and hold fentanyl dealers accountable. I’ll work to increase access to housing that’s affordable, to keep working families in their neighborhoods, and push for the resources our cities need to prevent homelessness before it happens. And I’ll never back down from protecting our reproductive rights and fighting for access to medical care for all. As your Assemblymember, I’m more ready than ever to continue delivering results.
