28 days

28 days. It took 28 days from the day Governor Newsom declared a state of emergency to the day Christy Smith held her first tele-town hall for constituents on coronavirus.

During those first 27 days:

• Committee on Emergency Management Chairwoman Christy Smith DID NOT hold any sort of virtual town hall to address constituent concerns about the coronavirus.

• Committee on Emergency Management Chairwoman Christy Smith canceled a March 4^th hearing and never rescheduled.

• Committee on Emergency Management Chairwoman Christy Smith held a Zoom campaign call for supporters begging the DCCC for money.

• Committee on Emergency Management Chairwoman Christy Smith fundraised off coronavirus for her political campaign.

• Committee on Emergency Management Chairwoman Christy Smith criticized her Republican opponent’s stance on protecting the unborn.

• Committee on Emergency Management Chairwoman Christy Smith criticized Senate Republicans for not “supporting Californians”

NRCC Comment: “There is a clear pattern of conduct demonstrating Sacramento politician Christy Smith is more interested in seeking a political promotion to Washington, DC than fulfilling her duties as the Chairwoman of California’s Joint Legislative Committee on Emergency Management. – NRCC Spokeswoman Torunn Sinclair
