Bill Monning for Senate 2012: Home

Please Join My Campaign for a Healthy California

Dear Friends,

Together we can make a difference for California's future!

In the 2012 elections, we have the choice to move our state away from budget paralysis and an economy that unfairly burdens its most vulnerable. Please join my campaign to stand for working families, affordable education, accessible healthcare, protecting our environment, and building a prosperous economy based on reducing climate change, not worsening it.

Take Action!

Here in the Central Coast region, we have the opportunity to return to Democratic representation in the State Senate. The importance of our district shows as I recently received the unanimous endorsement of the California Democratic Party. This follows endorsements by most of the County Supervisors and Mayors within the district, along with numerous leaders in education, law enforcement, environment, labor, healthcare, and small business.

If you feel as I do that 2012 is a crucial election year for California, I hope you you will find a way to join my campaign for a healthy California.

Toward Peace and Progress,

Bill Monning
Assemblymember, 27th District
Candidate, California State Senate, 17th District

Campaign Gets Strong Start for 2012

Democratic Assemblymember Bill Monning thanked volunteers, endorsers, and contributors for their strong support, saying "Thanks to you, my campaign for the California State Senate is in a strong position to win in 2012."

Monning is running for the newly drawn 17th State Senate District, which includes Santa Cruz and San Luis Obispo Counties and portions of Monterey and Santa Clara Counties.

Monning currently represents much of the district including portions of Santa Cruz, Santa Clara and Monterey Counties. In all, he has represented over half of the newly drawn 17th State Senate District since his election to the State Assembly in 2008.

"I have spent the last three years in the Assembly fighting hard for the Central Coast,” Monning said. “I have battled to save our coastline, promote our hospitality and tourism industry, provide greater access to health care options, protect consumers, and make sure the state’s budget isn’t balanced on the backs of our most vulnerable citizens. I am asking the people of the newly redrawn 17th District to allow me to continue this work in the State Senate."

You Can Help

Monning is appealing to supporters of his past Assembly campaigns as well as friends and former colleagues from his years of community service in mediation and conflict resolution, legal advocacy on behalf of farmworkers, and tireless efforts for accessible healthcare, human rights, and environmental protection.

Online contributions and endorsements are easily made via Monning’s Senate campaign website, at Contribute and Endorse.

Contribute to a Strong Campaign in 2012

Monning asked supporters to consider making a contribution no matter what amount they can give. "Your contribution of any size really helps, because every dollar helps my campaign put me in touch with more people.

"I look forward to meeting with voters throughout the new Senate district, to listen and discuss their hopes and concerns for the Central Coast region and California. With a district this big, I have a lot of ground to cover in 2012.

"We have a long road ahead to November. Please consider making a contribution today to sustain my campaign to victory!"

Build the Network of Monning Supporters

Monning also urged supporters to make use of technology to boost awareness of his campaign.

"Today we have so many ways for people to communicate and spread the word about important political developments. You can participate in my campaign and build your own network and social connections at the same time!"

To keep the district informed about the issues facing California and the Central Coast region, Bill speaks and takes calls on local radio stations radio every week (see the Schedule).
