Contributing sentiments towards policy:

52% : Several candidates have said, for example, they would seek expanded oil drilling and fracking operations, encourage more logging of forests and suspend environmental rules wholesale.
41% : But it hasn't been a bastion of tolerance and equality for most of its existence, as evidenced by the displacement of Indigenous communities, the embrace of the racist Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882, and ballot-box assaults on immigrant rights in 1994, affirmative action in 1996 and same-sex marriage in 2008.
33% : Most of the recall candidates think the criminal justice reforms should be stopped.
