Voters: Governor Should Appoint Commissioners who will prioritize protecting the coast

In a recent poll, we found that a large majority (75%) of California voters would prefer that Governor Newsom appoint Coastal Commissioners who will prioritize protecting the coast and public access to beaches.

“In a political environment as polarized as it is today, it’s rare to see an issue area with such singular consensus,” said Adam Probolsky, president of Probolsky Research. “When it comes to our oceans, coasts, and beaches, California voters are solidly pro-conservation and they want the governor to appoint Coastal Commissioners that reflect this value.”

This poll was conducted for a coalition of California conservation organizations including Orange County Coastkeeper.
