2014

Levine's website highlighted the following campaign themes:[12]

Secondhand Smoke

  • Excerpt: "Secondhand smoke kills. That's why our schools, workplaces, businesses and public facilities are smoke free environments. But smoke still looms where people should feel safest: in their homes. Current laws leave families and others that live in multi-unit housing vulnerable to the habits of their neighbors."

Plastic Bags

  • Excerpt: "Its time to go beyond plastic bags. Plastic bags last for 1,000 years in our landfills, litter our landscapes and communities, and harm fish and mammals each year. Many communities have taken action to curtail the use of plastic bags. It's time for California to do the same by restricting the use of single-use plastic bags at larger stores."

Fracking Oversight

  • Excerpt: "Hydraulic fracturing, or "fracking," is a process in which water and chemicals are injected underground at high pressure to release oil and natural gas from wells. The use of fracking is increasing in California, but the state currently lacks a regulatory framework for this potentially harmful practice. Marc wants to strengthen permitting rules to help ensure that nearby residents, land and water are protected from contamination."

2012

Levine's campaign website listed the following issues:[13]

  • Fully fund our schools
  • Help to create jobs
  • Fix state budget problems so we’re not back in the same mess every year

Scorecards

See also: State legislative scorecards and State legislative scorecards in California

A scorecard evaluates a legislator’s voting record. Its purpose is to inform voters about the legislator’s political positions. Because scorecards have varying purposes and methodologies, each report should be considered on its own merits. For example, an advocacy group’s scorecard may assess a legislator’s voting record on one issue while a state newspaper’s scorecard may evaluate the voting record in its entirety.

Ballotpedia is in the process of developing an encyclopedic list of published scorecards. Some states have a limited number of available scorecards or scorecards produced only by select groups. It is Ballotpedia’s goal to incorporate all available scorecards regardless of ideology or number.
