She <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">has been a reliable and effective champion for climate solutions, including agricultural solutions, in her 10 years in the legislature.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">She has authored two bills sponsored by CalCAN during her tenure. The first bill, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/calclimateag.org\/ag-adaptation-tools-bill-advances\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Assembly Bill 409<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (2019), aimed to increase funding for research, tools, and technical assistance to support farmers and ranchers in making informed management and investment decisions based on both short- and long-term climate risks. Although the bill died due to a lack of funding in the budget process, it highlighted the ways in which agricultural producers are already on the front lines of droughts, wildfires, and extreme heat waves, and the urgent need to support producers in becoming more resilient. The second bill, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/calclimateag.org\/using-grazing-animals-to-reduce-the-risk-of-wildfires\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Senate Bill 675<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, required the state to develop an action plan and guidance for local agencies to scale up prescribed grazing as a multi-benefit climate and wildfire solution. That bill was passed and signed in 2024 and is currently being implemented.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_11272\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-11272\" style=\"width: 486px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-11272\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/calclimateag.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Asm-Limo%CC%81n-Presenting-AB-409-on-Assembly-Floor-5-23-19.png?resize=486%2C335&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"486\" height=\"335\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/calclimateag.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Asm-Limo%CC%81n-Presenting-AB-409-on-Assembly-Floor-5-23-19.png?resize=300%2C207&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/calclimateag.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Asm-Limo%CC%81n-Presenting-AB-409-on-Assembly-Floor-5-23-19.png?resize=768%2C530&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/calclimateag.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Asm-Limo%CC%81n-Presenting-AB-409-on-Assembly-Floor-5-23-19.png?w=782&amp;ssl=1 782w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 486px) 100vw, 486px\"\/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-11272\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Senator Lim\u00f3n presents AB 409, her Agricultural Climate Adaptation Tools bill, on the Assembly floor in 2019.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2><b>Successful Negotiator for Climate Investments<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the past two years, Senator Lim\u00f3n has also led successful negotiations on two of the state\u2019s signature climate policies, both of which required two-thirds supermajority votes to pass: Proposition 4 and Cap-and-Invest Reauthorization.
