Marc Berman of Palo Alto is running against Republican businessman Tim Dec to retain his seat representing the lower Peninsula, parts of the west valley and coast side communities
Running for a third term in the California Assembly, Marc Berman of Palo Alto is facing off against Republican challenger and small business owner Tim Dec to represent residents on the San Mateo County coast and southern Peninsula.
When he won his seat in 2016 to represent Assembly District 24, Berman beat out Democrat Vicki Veenker by about 6,000 votes, and since then he’s faced only Republican opposition. In 2018, Berman won against Alex Glew by 54 percentage points, and in 2020 he beat Peter Ohtaki by a similar margin. Berman was a Palo Alto City councilman for four years starting in 2012 and previously worked for U.S. Rep. Anna Eshoo’s office and the Justice Department. He has a law degree from the University of Southern California and studied at Georgetown University for his bachelor’s degree. He practiced corporate law before going into politics and also worked at the Silicon Valley Education Foundation, a non-profit focused on closing the achievement gap in STEM education in Silicon Valley.
Berman also authored “legislation to ban the sale of new gas-powered equipment like leaf blowers and lawnmowers in starting in 2024,” an effort to reduce CO2 emissions. He also worked on the Student Transfer Achievement Reform Act of 2021, which makes it easier for community college students to transfer to four-year colleges.
