Position Papers
Joe Nation's K-12 Education Position Paper
Education has been a central focus of my tenure in the State Legislature. The future of our children, California and its economy, and our nation depend on how we educate the next generation. A rigorous accountability system, top-notch educators, the use of technology, innovative new ways of instruction, high expectations and standards for all children, and career technical curriculum are all foundations of a 21st century education.
Joe Nation's Environment Position Paper
The 6th Congressional District is one of the most progressive on environmental issues in the nation. We deserve an environmental leader. I have strived to lead California on environmental issues during my tenure in the state Assembly. In 2002, I successfully co-authored the first law in the country that reduces the greenhouse gas emissions that contribute to global warming.
