Neva Parker – Assembly District 5

Harm reduction candidate

Political Party - Democrat

Ballot Designation

California Senate Consultant

Law Enforcement Contributions

None as of 8/23/24

Background

Parker is Vice Chair of the Roseville Grants Advisory Commission, and prior to that had a long career in the Office of the Chief Clerk at the State Capitol, most notably as Senate Journal Clerk where she was responsible for maintaining the record of the State Senate.

Public Safety Platform

Parker no longer has a public safety platform on her website, but during the primary it did not mention police or prison policy, instead framing issues such as insurance access, broadband development, forest management, and senior homelessness as public safety issues.

Despite her unknown record on criminal justice issues, IJ Action recommends Parker as the harm reduction vote given the incumbent’s long-standing record of opposing criminal justice reform.
