Issue Position

The film industry is the heart of Los Angeles, providing hundreds of thousands of direct and indirect jobs to families across California. To protect these jobs I championed a number of bills designed to grant tax credits to movies made in California, in an effort to attract new jobs and keep old ones in the State.

I am proud to report that my aggressive efforts help push through a film tax credit that triples the annual tax credit for movies and TV shows produced in California. This legislation, once signed by Governor Brown, will bring jobs back home.

The film industry is vital to the state of California's economy, supporting more than 190,000 direct jobs and $17 billion in wages in California. As your Assemblymember I will continue to work with studios, unions, and small business to keep film production jobs here.
