A commentary in the Opinion section of Sunday’s newspaper, “Bay Area local leaders need protection against violence,” mischaracterized details of a state law, due to inaccurate information provided by the League of Women Voters of Oakland. Assembly Bill 789, which was signed by the governor on Oct. 11, was created to better protect candidates and elected officeholders from political violence. It was authored, not co-authored, by Assemblywoman Mia Bonta, D-Alameda. The bill removes through 2028 the $10,000 lifetime cap on use of campaign funds for security expenses. And it applies to both state and local elective offices, not exclusively to state offices.
