With 60 days to election day, Rep. Devin Nunes (R–Tulare) still hasn’t uttered the name of his opponent on television.
Instead, his barrage of television advertising – eclipsing hundreds of thousands of dollars in campaign spending – has turned to another set of issues on the Nov. 3 ballot: a ballot initiative.
Two new ads hitting Valley airwaves on Thursday from Nunes are highlighting the hangover effect of a pair of California decriminalization measures – 2014’s Proposition 47 and 2016’s Proposition 57.
Prop. 47 notoriously reclassified a bevy of felonies – deemed to be “nonviolent offenses” – as misdemeanors, allowing for a wave of early releases from California corrections facilities.
Prop. 57, meanwhile, opened the door for parole to be considered for nonviolent felons incarcerated in California prisons.
Take a look at the other ad:
Funny. I would have thought decriminalizing adults having sex with children might be characterized as a “pivot,” but that’s just me.
