Fullerton, CA – Jane Rands, Green Party candidate for the 72nd District Assembly, supports a single payer healthcare system, marriage equality, decentralized rooftop solar energy production, restoration of critical education funding, conservation of our water resources, and legislation to strengthen the California Environmental Quality Act. “California’s budget shortfalls can be partially resolved by implementing long overdue oil extraction fees and restructuring Proposition 13 to only apply to family homes,” said Rands.
The Green Party has had ballot status in California since 1992. The Party’s platform calls for ranked ballot voting, universal healthcare, equal rights for LGBT people, equal pay for women in the workplace, limitations on harmful atmospheric pollutants, the preservation and restoration of California’s natural waterways and wetlands, and other policies to develop an environmentally sustainable economy in the state.

She holds a B.S. in Computer Science from the California State Polytechnic University, Pomona.

Admin, why is there no picture of Jane Rands?
I’ll find one and publish it.
Ms. Rands should reconsider her stance on limiting Prop. 13 to family homes. What about single guys or lesbian couples? More disconcerting is her preliminary policy to exclude commercial property and apparently multi family property. Does Ms Rands somehow think that the increased cost will somehow magically get absorbed by the rich. Those costs will simply be passed on to everyone and government will just gobble it up in its natural inefficienies. It’s nice to think that only big coporations get relief from Prop 13, the truth is that the big corporations are always playing games with the ownership of their real property assets and are paying taxes at close to current market values. It’s the long term oriented small town types that hold and end up with some relief. I’m with her on the environmental issues but she needs to know that all taxes are merely passed on to end users. Prop 13 saves everyone money.
Nice to see wacko socialists representing. She will only take away votes from the Dem candidate who wasn’t going to win in the first place. The race is squarely between Norby and Ackerman. I’m surprised no Libertarian filed.
Be nice Allan. I’ve heard Jane is an intelligent and thoughtful person. Don’t confusw wacko with misguided.
The Libertarian never filed because with Norby in the race his own party wouldn’t help him.
She probably is a nice person, but her views are whacked.
BTW, Chris Norby did great last night at the debate. I mean it wasn’t even close. Linda Ackerman looked like a deer in the headlights up on the dais.
