Before you vote
Anthony Portantino: 1 PolicyBomb on record
No full scorecard rows yet. Their documented positions are listed below, each with its source and that PolicyBomb's grade. They are not counted in a tally until the full row (author, votes, signer, funders) is sourced.
Grades rest on measured outcomes in each PolicyBomb, not on motives. Every line links to its receipt.
Positions on record
As recorded in each PolicyBomb's "who supports / who opposes" research. Not counted in the tally.
Policy #55: Concealed Carry Mixed
Against: SB 2 (2023) restricts carry in "sensitive places"; partly enjoined in court. CA Legislature: SB 2 (2023) (leginfo.legislature.ca.gov)
Listed in the research as: Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA); Sen. Anthony Portantino (D)
Verdict: The right to carry is settled law, and abolishing arbitrary may-issue regimes was fair. On the evidence, though, more carrying doesn't reduce crime and probably raises it modestly.
