NOV. 28, 2016. Democrats Clinch A Supermajority In Both Houses of The California Legislature After Josh Newman Wins State Senate Seat
Democrat Josh Newman has defeated Assemblywoman Ling Ling Chang (R-Diamond Bar) to win the race for the 29th Senate District, giving Democrats in the Legislature a two-thirds majority in both houses.
The Associated Press called the race Monday evening for Newman, who had been steadily gaining ground as provisional and absentee ballots were counted over the last three weeks.
“I am immensely honored to have earned the trust and support of so many of my neighbors, who’ve placed their faith and trust in me as their next state senator," Newman said in a statement, crediting his supporters with helping counter what he called the "obscene levels of spending" in the race.
Democrats had already secured a supermajority in the state Assembly with the defeat of Republican legislators Young Kim (R-Fullerton), Eric Linder (R-Corona) and David Hadley (R-Manhattan Beach).
With a supermajority, a political party can raise taxes, place measures on the statewide ballot, enact laws immediately with an “urgency” clause and override a governor’s veto.
In a statement, Senate President Pro Tem Kevin de Leon congratulated Newman on his "clear and impressive victory."

It will begin with commercial property and apartments
Cut bait and move yourself outta there.
Having lived here all my life, I always thought they had a Super Majority.
It should be demoted to territorial status and run by a provisional governor assigned by Trump.
one thing I've discovered the past several years is how many homonazis have crept into positions of power then used their newfound powers as a weapon against the "bullies"; those conservatives and Christians who don't approve of their sexual deviancy, pedopheliac habits, bathroom foot tapping to find random sex, the drag queens, and flamboyant behaviors they exhibit, etc...They use their powers to intentionally antogonize and make life hell for those who don't approve of their lifestyle.
final remnants of the 2A to be gone completely very soon.
It’s Venezuela on the Pacific and I live here.
Oddly enough as an extreme supporter of states right I think California does have the legal an constitutional right to pursue this insanity.
When they economically collapse I do not one damn cent from my great state of Texas used to recover and save them from their collapse. Their collapse will happen. Just look at Venezuela.
A communist socialist system looks great on paper. If it worked I would lead the revolution for it. It does not work. It brings only subjugation and economic ruin and dictatorship by the elite.
The problem with Marxism is it did not understand human nature. When it fails because of human nature Marxism without exception becomes despotism and totally corrupt. In the world today there is not one true Marxist State. They all are all despotic states parading under the banner of Marxism that is noble in thought but totally impossible. Marxism always turns into the greatest evil man has ever known.
In 1960 the world population was about 3 billion people. Maxism at that time had killed about 200 million people. That means if you were standing in line each 15th person was killed.
Marxism though a beautiful concept always turns into tyranny. It does not work then it kills all that resist the elite corrupt that do all in the name of a Marxist State that is nought but another corrupt dictatorial system of power for the corrupt elite.
Our great nation is a nation of Democratic Republics, it is not a national democracy. Those great scholars and farmers and businessmen that wrote our Constitution knew what they were doing. We must listen to their wisdom!
Now they can accelerate their demise.
Please pass the popcorn. Oh, and when they are about to declare bankruptcy, leave the United States and see what that does to your death spiral!
Detroit West ...
That’s why we saw Tom Steyer in so many commercials this election. He is in the process of buying the governorship.
Gee, now California is really a “RED STATE”, dictatorship and all.
Now under leftist/liberal rules, if one party wins it all, they have to give the loser half of what was won because that’s the way they want to play the game.
Half of anything in California is the closest thing to a non-communist state that will happen in our lifetime unless an earthquake does its’ thang and wipes out the Marxist cesspools there.
Just how many of those Californians that promised to leave the state if Trump won are still in town.
Good. Now secede.
Calizuela
>>I hope America doesn’t go that way.
It will.
The Trump presidency will be a reprieve, a time for lovers of liberty to get their affairs in order.
There is no excuse for being surprised or caught unprepared for what is coming.
If that wall doesn't get built soon...a number of states will go that way :o(.
