Heather Hadwick: “CA Is Not Adequately Managing the Wildlife We Have”

February 24, 2026
I am writing today to share serious concerns about Senate Bill 1305, the proposal by Senator Richardson to reintroduce grizzly bears in California. While the grizzly is an iconic symbol — even our state animal — it was driven to extinction in this state more than a century ago.

January 15, 2026
In the past 15 years, the tireless work of EIPCa’s trained elections Observers and EIPCa’s Data Analysis Group has amassed troubling information about the fatal flaws in California’s election system.

For the first few years, we met regularly with county elections officials in order to inform and educate them regarding our findings. EIPCa leadership met with the Lead Counsel of California’s Secretary of State, and even made a full-day presentation of our documentation for the California Advisory Committee to the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights. Surely, we thought, these public officials would address and resolve the many issues that threatened the integrity of California elections.
