VOTE: Should registered sex offenders be allowed to run for public office in California?

A California bill that would have barred registered sex offenders from running for local or state public office failed to advance Tuesday in the Senate Elections and Constitutional Amendments Committee.

Assembly Bill 2753, authored by Assemblymember Esmeralda Soria, stalled after Soria rejected amendments that would have limited the ban to lifetime registered sex offenders.

Current California law does not automatically prohibit registered sex offenders from running for public office if they otherwise meet the legal qualifications for office.
