In today's politics, stalking and harassment are distressingly common, particularly affecting female, LGBTQ+, and candidates of color, deterring many from participating in the political process.
AB 2041 aims to modernize California's political candidate finance policies to enhance security for candidates, especially in response to the rising threats against them.
The bill proposes to increase the lifetime cap for security expenses and extend eligibility to candidates' families and staff, recognizing the need for comprehensive safety.
According to the California Women's List's 2023 Report, a staggering 65.38% of women candidates faced harassment, underscoring the urgent need for protective measures in politics.
