Down ticket is the race for Assembly District 44, a second Assembly seat in the San Fernando Valley without an incumbent running.
Tony Rodriguez, Republican, and Nick Schultz, Democrat, are the two candidates running for Assembly District 44 in November 2024. The seat was left open when Laura Friedman opted not to run. She is running for Congress. The 44th Assembly District’s incumbent legislator, Laura Friedman, D-Glendale, is not in the race, meaning voters will be sending a newcomer up to Sacramento to represent this wide swath of The Valley on Nov. 5.
Coordination of services with nonprofit housing groups and governmental agencies is key. “L.A. County needs to do a better job of coordinating among city, county and state organizations,” he wrote. More mental health and substance abuse services are also warranted. On helping renters stay in their homes, Schultz would pursue eviction protection measures, giving renters facing eviction the right to an attorney, as well as relocation assistance.
Schultz pointed out that Burbank has one of the highest number of gun stores per residents in the nation. Schultz said this is true in the 44th Assembly District: “I would rank the most urgent environmental issues affecting AD44 as extreme heat, continued drought, and greenhouse gas emissions attributable to our transportation infrastructure,” he summarized.He is committed to mandating increased use and development of clean energy, as well as sustainable transportation, including more pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure, in order to reduce greenhouse gases that contribute to climate change.
Schultz wrote that reproductive rights are under attack across the nation. “I do not want a world where my children have fewer rights than my wife had at their age,” he wrote. He is endorsed by Planned Parenthood.“The entertainment industry is the backbone of our local economy,” wrote Schultz.
