The 15th amendment was rejected the first time it was brought to the California Legislature (in 1870). It was later passed unanimously in 1962.
Half of California’s Assemblymembers since 1990 have never termed out? That’s right; of the 348 legislators to serve in the lower house in the past 21 years, only 151 (43%) termed out. Even if you exclude the 80 members currently serving, only 56% of Assemblymembers ever termed out.
