(Sacramento, CA) — California Assemblyman Josh Hoover has been named an Honorary Co-chair for the Yes on Proposition 36 campaign. Proposition 36 aims to make communities safer by addressing issues like retail theft and fentanyl dealing and prioritizing drug and mental health treatment.

If passed, it would lead to increased penalties for repeat theft offenders, provide law enforcement with new tools to combat fentanyl dealers, and ensure that individuals struggling with mental health or substance abuse issues receive the help they need.
