PSA: Folks, the link below provides more information about the bills I authored that are now on the governor's desk --> sd05.senate.ca.gov/news/sd-5-bi...

It has been an amazing leg session with SB 787! UAW members from the entire clean energy supply chain- from researchers to auto manufacturing workers- showed up to lay groundwork for a CA Just Transition. Now our diverse coalition asks @governor.ca.gov to sign SB 787! @uawregion6.bsky.social

A Productive Year! Nine of my bills were approved by the CA Legislature and are on the governor’s desk. Plus, the governor has already signed another one of my bills into law. On the governor’s desk: ✅SB 7, No Robo Bosses Act ✅SB 24, Protecting Ratepayers cont...

Excellent! The CA Legislature has given the greenlight to SB 237, groundbreaking legislation by Senator Tim Grayson and me that is designed to stabilize gasoline prices as the state transitions away from fossil fuels. sd05.senate.ca.gov/news/ca-legi...

Good news! The CA Legislature has approved my SB 787, which is designed to create more clean energy jobs in the state.

Boom! The CA Legislature just approved my SB 7, the “No Robo Bosses Act,” groundbreaking legislation that would require human oversight of artificial intelligence systems in the workplace to help prevent abuses. Senate vote was 28-9! sd05.senate.ca.gov/news/ca-legi...

Good news! The California Legislature has approved my SB 711, which will make it easier for taxpayers to file their taxes. SB 711 will align numerous state tax requirements with federal requirements for the first time in a decade. sd05.senate.ca.gov/news/ca-legi...

ICYMI: "A proposal to fast-track plans for a 45-mile water tunnel beneath the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta died in the state Legislature." "Sen. Jerry McNerney (D-Pleasanton) called it a 'major victory for California and the Delta.'"

Unprovoked violence is always deplorable. I condemn it in the strongest possible terms. Political violence can only inflame hatred and further violence. I denounce those who encourage or participate in it. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/09...

Excellent! The CA Legislature has unanimously approved my SB 454, which will address PFAS pollution in CA's water supply. SB 454 would establish the PFAS Mitigation Fund, which local agencies and cities could access to help pay for the cleanup of toxic PFAS in water.

Great news! Huge win for the Delta! The California Legislature has rejected the governor's plan to fast-track the costly and destructive Delta Tunnel Project. So it will not advance this year. sd05.senate.ca.gov/news/delta-c...

Great news! The California Legislature has unanimously approved my SB 279, which is designed to benefit farmers and winegrape growers by allowing them to compost large amounts of agricultural waste onsite.

Excellent! The CA Legislature has approved my SB 86, which would extend a successful clean energy funding program that helps the state meet its climate goals. The program provides tax incentives to CA manufacturers of green technologies and environmentally friendly projects.

NEW: @asmmarcberman.bsky.social and I today announced a joint legislative package to protect California ratepayers from unlawful activities by investor-owned utilities. sd05.senate.ca.gov/news/berman-...

Excellent! Both houses of the CA Legislature have unanimously approved my SB 31, which will help drought-proof California by boosting the use of recycled water.

Yes!! Both houses of the CA Legislature have approved my SB 543, which will streamline the construction of accessory dwelling units (ADUs), also known as backyard cottages or casitas.

Honored to represent two of CA's top wine-producing regions: Livermore Valley and Lodi. And proud to co-author SR 64, celebrating California Wine Month. www.youtube.com/watch?v=rjwk...

Proud to stand on the CA Senate Floor today to present SR 63, commemorating the 41st anniversary of California's sister-state relationship with Taiwan. It's also the 26th anniversary of Taiwanese American Heritage Week. www.youtube.com/watch?v=w-ie...

Huge win! SB 24 by @senmcnerney.bsky.social passes out of appropriations! This bill aims to stop utilities from wasting ratepayer funds on politics and lobbying activities that should be paid by their shareholders.

Excellent! The CA Assembly Appropriations Committee today advanced 8 of my bills to the Assembly Floor: ✅SB 7, the No Robo Bosses Act ✅SB 24, Protecting Ratepayers from Utilities Abuses ✅SB 31, Expanding Use of Recycled Water ✅SB 86, Green Energy Manufacturing Jobs

UAW members in CA are fighting for SB 787 (@senmcnerney.bsky.social) to advance a future where clean energy and good jobs go hand in hand. California can lead the nation in building a green economy that works for everyone. @buffywicks.bsky.social @gavinnewsom.bsky.social @caspeakerrivas.bsky.social

Great news! The California Assembly today approved my SB 543, which will streamline the construction of accessory dwelling units (ADUs), also known as backyard cottages or casitas, and junior ADUs. Next stop, the Senate Floor for a final vote.

“With President Trump and Texas Republicans attempting to rig the 2026 national election, we had no choice in the Legislature but to fight fire with fire,” said McNerney. “We didn’t seek this fight, but we aren’t going to run from it, either,” McNerney said. www.independentnews.com/news/regiona...

Very proud to honor an outstanding CA Senate Fellow today - Aaron Gilbert-O'Neil. He is not only smart and funny and a joy to have in the office, he also has worked with me this year on some of my biggest bills, including on one of my top priorities: artificial intelligence. Thank you, Aaron!

Proud to stand today with Senator Dave Cortese, of San Jose, and other members of the California Legislature to support Gov. Newsom's proposal to maintain cap-and-trade funding for high-speed rail.

McNerney: California should pursue better alternatives to the costly Delta Tunnel Project

Honored to stand this afternoon with my CA legislative colleagues as Gov. Gavin Newsom signed the Election Rigging Response Act, putting a measure vital for our democracy on the Nov. ballot. Trump and the GOP know they can't win without cheating. CA voters will be able stop them.

Proud to speak today in favor of the Election Rigging Response Act to allow CA voters to decide this November whether they want to respond to President Trump and Texas' attempt to rig the 2026 election.

ICYMI: "In a joint statement, state Sen. Jerry McNerney (D-Pleasanton) and Assemblymember Lori D. Wilson (D-Suisun City) said the Newsom administration has made false claims about what they view as an 'extremely costly and environmentally destructive project.'"

NEW: A deeply flawed new report from the Newsom Administration calls the Delta Tunnel Project “sustainable” yet overlooks the massive, unaffordable costs of the project and the widespread destruction it will cause. sd05.senate.ca.gov/news/flawed-...

Excellent Livermore Independent editorial on CA's response to Trump & Texas' attempt to rig the 2026 election. "Fair rules only work if everyone follows them. If one side simply decides they no longer apply, the other can’t continue to fight with one arm tied behind its back."

"State Sen. Jerry McNerney, D-Stockton, said composting helps farmers and the climate." "This is giving farmers a real leg up in their work," he said, "and also the composted material can have some value to them as well."

“If we don’t start thinking about how to protect workers we’re going to have a lot of problems,” said Democratic State Sen. Jerry McNerney, who introduced the California bill [SB 7]. “People will be dismissed and demoted from jobs without sufficient cause.”

Proud to join with folks from communities across multiple cities in California's State Senate District 5 for National Night Out 2025! Also grateful to members of Team McNerney and the organizers and volunteers who brought everyone together for such a meaningful night.

“The Legislature rightly rejected the governor’s ill-conceived plan to fast-track the Delta Tunnel Project in June and should reject it again,” said Delta Caucus co-chairs, Senator Jerry McNerney, D-Pleasanton, and Assemblywoman Lori D. Wilson, D-Suisun City.

"SB 7 — authored by state Sen. Jerry McNerney, a Democrat who represents Pleasanton — would require employers to notify current and potential workers of their use of such [AI] systems and bar employers from primarily relying on those systems in disciplinary and firing decisions."

Huge thanks to all the folks who attended my Tri-Valley Town Hall last evening in Dublin. It was great to be able to share info about my office's progress this year in the state Senate and take questions about redistricting, the Delta Tunnel Project, Valley Link, ICE and mass deportations & more.

NEW: The California Legislative Delta Caucus on Wednesday once again urged leaders of the California Senate and Assembly to reject Gov. Gavin Newsom’s renewed effort to fast-track the Delta Tunnel Project.

Our staff psychiatrists at the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation met with @senmcnerney.bsky.social to discuss the mental health care needs of patients at the State's Healthcare Facility in Stockton. Thank you for meeting with our members and listening to their concerns! ✊

Tri-Valley Residents: Reminder that I will be hosting a Tri-Valley Town Hall on Wednesday, Aug. 6, from 6-8 p.m. in Dublin. The in-person event will be open to the public and will be at the Shannon Event Center, 11600 Shannon Ave.

Attention Tri-Valley residents: Please join me on Aug. 6 for my Tri-Valley Town Hall. The in-person event will be 6-8 p.m. at the Shannon Event Center, 11600 Shannon Ave, Dublin. The town hall is open to the public and will include an overview of my work this year in the California Legislature.

More good news! The CA Assembly Privacy and Consumer Protection Committee unanimously approved my SB 833, which would require human oversight of artificial intelligence used in California's critical infrastructure.

Excellent! The CA Assembly Privacy and Consumer Protection Committee approved my SB 7, the No Robo Bosses Act. SB 7 would require human oversight of artificial intelligence systems in the workplace and would bar AI that uses personal information of workers to predict what they’ll do in the future.

On a roll! The California Assembly Revenue & Taxation Committee unanimously approved my SB 86, which would create more clean energy jobs in CA by extending a key program that provides tax incentives to green energy manufacturers. SB 86 also adds fusion energy to the tax incentive program.

Great news! The #caleg Assembly Judiciary Committee approved my SB 69, which would equip the CA Department of Justice with expertise in artificial intelligence by creating an AI-focused team within the DOJ. Vote was 12-0. Next stop, Assembly Appropriations Committee.

Honored to stand with environmentalists and pro-solar energy folks at the Capitol today, and very pleased that an important agreement was reached on AB 942 so that the bill will no longer curtail rooftop solar in California, and so enviros no longer oppose the legislation.
