California Assembly Bill 962 (2009)

Why do you keep removing the Notable Legislation section. You authored AB962, the court found it to be "unconstitutionaly vague". Thats fact. Own it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.181.110.191 (talk) 16:31, 19 March 2011 (UTC)

I'm wondering the same thing. It is http://en.wikipedia.org/California_Assembly_Bill_962_%282009%29 But the main author's page does not incude any mention of this bill? Why is this? I hope politics is not getting in the way of knowledge.

quality reporters being removed

hello - this detail is being removed without good reason imo - in is the story of quality writers, such as http://www.latimes.com/local/la-me-kevin-de-leon-20140619-story.html#page=1- https://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=Kevin_de_Le%C3%B3n&diff=616061573&oldid=616033356 - http://www.mercedsunstar.com/2014/01/05/3424401/kevin-de-leon-aims-to-move-past.html#storylink=cpy - http://votesmart.org/candidate/biography/59926/kevin-de-leon#.U7sG4xZeclI - http://www.sacbee.com/2014/01/05/6046614/kevin-de-leon-aims-to-move-past.html - what is wrong with these sources - why is this - please explain Mosfetfaser (talk) 09:13, 8 July 2014 (UTC)

As I've already explained, I reverted them as WP:UNDUE and promotionally worded. EvergreenFir (talk) Please {{re}} 18:02, 8 July 2014 (UTC)

The extent of my involvement before was fixing a capitalization error. That said, I looked at today's edits, and based on what's in the article, I changed the characterization of one story. De Leon only denied involvement in one of the sources; nowhere did it say he was cleared. —C.Fred (talk) 18:33, 8 July 2014 (UTC)

story add on

https://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=Kevin_de_Le%C3%B3n&diff=prev&oldid=617928216

On June 19, Senator de León was elected by his colleagues President Pro-Tempore of the California State Senate, effective October 15, 2014.

is this ok?

written story - https://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=Kevin_de_Le%C3%B3n&diff=618020931&oldid=617929945 Mosfetfaser (talk) 19:10, 22 July 2014 (UTC)

Ghost gun incident

The passages about the 1/13/14 gaffe when de León talked about "ghost guns" that fire "30 magazine clips in half a second" keep getting deleted. The incident was important and notable, both to the national debate over gun control and to Senator de León. I think it would be wise to add maybe just a sentence or two about the incident. Some of the passages deleted were clearly biased attempts to mock the Senator, but I think that a very brief mention could be written in an objective way and would add relevant information to the article. There are also numerous sources that confirm the occurrence of the gaffe. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 107.221.144.98 (talk) 13:57, 18 April 2015 (UTC)

Controversies section

The current controversies section reads as follows:

“

Kevin de León has denied involvement in an ongoing scandal of illegal payments/bribes, and federal investigation of his fellow CA Senator Ronald S. Calderon. Kevin de León denied involvement in the scandal, in December 2013. As of July 2014, de León has not been charged with any wrongdoing in relation to the Calderon case. A letter was released by the assistant U.S. attorney in charge of the case reporting that de León, "is a witness, not a target in the federal investigation." California's political watchdog has decided not to investigate de León, saying there is no evidence he played a role in the $25,000 payment to Calderon's brother's group. In 2013, de Leon was involved in a junket to Norway and Sweden paid for by the California Foundation for Economy and Environment which has paid thousands of dollars over the years for such junkets that do seem to result in any legisation.

”

The first "controversy" does not belong in the biography since he has not been charged with any wrongdoing. The second "controversy" is also not really biographical since legislators go on junkets all the time. I am hereby deleting this section. Victor Victoria (talk) 11:50, 4 September 2015 (UTC)

Personal Life

It appears his daughter is using his page for self-promotion, edits should be made. I'm not sure to what extent children should be included in to wikipedia articles and to what extent that it should occur. I feel that what she wrote on her father's page crosses the line into using it for personal gain.
