Issues
Policy Positions
Redistricting
In August 2011, the California Citizens Redistricting Commission completed the new Congressional and state legislative maps for the 2012-2020 elections. A referendum began in August 2011 to repeal the Senate map. Supporters have until November 13, 2011 to collect the 504,760 signatures that are required to qualify the measure for the ballot. Among the drive supporters are former Governor Pete Wilson and State Senate Minority Leader Bob Dutton.[1] Five other GOP senators immediately contributed more than $5,000 to the referendum group FAIR:[2]
- Mark Wyland: $25,000[3]
- Tony Strickland: $25,000
- Mimi Walters: $25,000
- Joel Anderson: $10,000
- Doug La Malfa: $5,000
Split legislative sessions
Wyland is the sponsor of SCA 2, a proposal to split the legislative sessions of the California State Legislature so that one year of the two-year legislative session is devoted to the state's budget and the other year is devoted to considering new legislation. In support of it, he says, "The dirty little secret is we can't really examine the legislation we get."[4]
Legislative scorecards
Capitol Weekly
Capitol Weekly, California's major weekly periodical covering the state legislature, publishes an annual legislative scorecard to pin down the political or ideological leanings of every member of the legislature based on how they voted on an assortment of bills in the most recent legislative session. The 2009 scores were based on votes on 19 bills, but did not include how legislators voted on the Proposition 1A (2009). On the scorecard, "100" is a perfect liberal score and "0" is a perfect conservative score. [5],[6]
On the 2009 Capitol Weekly legislative scorecard, Wyland ranked as a 17. [7]
