Rick Chavez Zbur Claims Pro-Housing, Votes Against It

Rick Chavez Zbur claims to support housing, but when it mattered, he voted NO on SB 79 — bipartisan legislation to increase housing supply near transit stations during California's housing crisis. California has the highest housing costs in the country and the only proven way to lower that cost is by adding supply. Rick doesn't care about the affordability crisis.

"A misguided solution to a real problem is not a real solution," Zbur said on the Assembly floor. Translation: I'm Rick and I'm a NIMBY.

Rick Chavez Zbur is Funded by Special Interests

Rick Chavez Zbur has lined his pockets with millions of dollars from special interests that distort our democratic process and buy his allegiance. He happily accepts money from unions, utility companies, AT&T, Fox Corporation, Sony, NBC, GM, Hawaiian Gardens Casino, Spectrum, Walmart, and countless others. The list is staggering.

When politicians are funded by the machine, they serve the machine — not you.

Palisades Fires: Rick Chavez Zbur Chose Pets Over Prevention

The Palisades fire burned an entire community to the ground, killing 12 people and causing $50 billion in damage. Rick Chavez Zbur's legislative response? A bill to help people get their pets back.

While the FOUND Act (AB 478) is well-intentioned, Zbur has been silent on what the government could have done to prevent the fires or how to stop future disasters. No accountability. No reform. Just feel-good legislation while families lost everything.

Rick Chavez Zbur is Anti-Nuclear Despite Climate Claims

In 2023, Rick Chavez Zbur voted against legislation to allow small modular nuclear reactors in California. His reason?

"I don't think that the California public supports this. I don't think that we need this to get to a carbon-free future."

Zbur confirmed to CalMatters that his anti-nuclear stance hasn't changed. Nuclear power is the largest source of clean energy in America. It is also the safest and cleanest form of energy. Someone this illiterate on basic facts should not be trusted to lead us. If Rick Chavez Zbur truly cared about climate change, he'd support all zero-carbon energy sources — not just the politically convenient ones.
