SACRAMENTO—More legislation is coming out of California to condemn Russia’s declaration of war against Ukraine, just days after Gov. Gavin Newsom asked the state’s leaders of the three top pension funds to halt money flowing into Russia. Now, legislators in the Assembly are following suit with House Resolution 94 to counter unprovoked attacks on Ukraine.
More than 60 lawmakers voted to join the resolution as co-authors during March 3’s assembly meeting. Assemblymember Ken Cooley (D-Rancho Cordova)—who introduced the resolution—said during the meeting that he represents the “largest diaspora of Ukrainian immigrants in the world” in Sacramento County.
