I'll answer the part of your question nobody else has: Yes, this legislator (Scott Wiener) gets a lot of public support. He won a closely contested election by two percentage points in 2016 against another Democrat to enter the state senate, and last year was re-elected in a high-turnout election by 14 percentage points. I would characterize Scott as one of the few people in our state senate who is even trying to address the most major problems in California, like the housing crisis. He stands out as one of the best California politicians, which I grant may not be saying much.
