The Bee endorses a force for California’s 6th Assembly District | Opinion
By The Sacramento Bee Editorial Board
Sacramento Assemblymember Maggy Krell has quickly made her mark in California’s Capitol. She championed legislation to make it a felony for an adult to solicit a 16-year-old, defying Democratic leadership even after they stripped down her bill. Krell stood firm, and it ultimately prevailed.
On politics and policy, she was right.
Now Krell is running for a second term in the 6th Assembly District, with no serious opposition. This is the kind of race that normally does not rise to the level of an endorsement, the outcome a foregone conclusion.
But Krell deserves a formal endorsement for reasons beyond this race. She is fast emerging as a force to be reckoned with in Sacramento. Her intelligence and calm demeanor are a particularly helpful tonic inside local politics in Sacramento, where disagreements on major issues have created too many political faultlines.
