Empowering communities through transparent governance
(SAN RAMON) --- Rebecca Bauer Kahn serves on the Environmental Safety and Toxic Material Commission, yet did not support Make Polluters Pay.
Why is that?
There could be many reasons, which I hope to ask when debating her for the District 16 seat.
Thus far, the assemblywoman has not responded to my inquiries about other issues, but now that I am running, there will come a time when she will have to answer. I am grateful the Democratic process offers me this opportunity.
I will not only ask for myself, but I will also ask for others, including Ann Brown from Livermore, who spoke her mind on the matter in the October 2025 Independent Times Opinion
Yes, Bauer Kahn started off as an environmentally strong in 2021. I will give her that.
She introduced her first two bills, offering hope. But then that hope died in 2022, as seen below.

Rebecca Bauer Kahn killed legislation
As you can see below and read here, AB460 is the only water theft legislation bill to pass in seven years. Additionally, many of her bills have not even been passed.

Rebecca Bauer Kahn legislative history
As I continue researching my contender's voting history and legislative attempts, I hope to show constituents that Bauer Kahn may sit on committees and write legislation, but what change has she actually made after all those years in office?
Until then, I leave you with the stark difference between Bauer Kahn and me.
While her bills die and she refuses to support climate protection petitions, I show up at meetings, as seen here in Walnut Creek, reminding officials of the need to continually address climate change.
