CalBike announces 2016 primary endorsements

The California Bicycle Coalition issued their endorsements this week in the state’s Assembly and Senate races.

The advocacy organization asked each candidate how much they support bicycling. How much do they ride? Do they support more funding for bicycle infrastructure? Do they support a “complete streets” requirement that all road maintenance take bicycle safety into account? Do they oppose using greenhouse gas funding for more roads?

Based on their answers to the survey and the results of outreach to their own members across the state, CalBike chose to endorse nine candidates:

AD 40 – Abigail Medina – Trustee, San Bernardino USD

AD 43 – Laura Friedman – Councilmember, Glendale
