A RANCHO SANTA FE RESIDENT, JOHN COX, SAYS HE WILL RUN AGAINST HIM AGAIN AND ALTHOUGH THE FAULCONER CAMPAIGN HAS ALREADY RAISED MORE THAN $1 MILLION IN THREE WEEKS, HE SAYS IT WILL TAKE A LOT MORE TO SERIOUSLY COMPETE.

AFTER LIMITATIONS WERE PUT IN PLACE ON WHO COULD UNIFY AND WHO QUALIFIED FOR ASYLUM.

SEVERAL YEARS HAVE PASSED SINCE THE SEPARATIONS MAKING THE JOB EVEN HARDER.

>> CREATING A TASK FORCE DOES NOT MEAN YOU ARE REUNIFYING FAMILIES.

IT MEANS YOU ARE ARE GOING TO HAVE A LOT OF MEETINGS ABOUT WHAT YOU WILL DO.

SHE WAS AMONG THE VIOLENT PEOPLE THAT STORM THE CAPITAL.

I AM ORLANDO MAYO AND I AM GOING TO EXPLAIN THE REPARATIONS LAW.

IT ESTABLISHES A NINE PERSON COMMITTEE TO STUDY THE CALIFORNIA COMPLICITY IN SLAVERY, DEVELOP PROPOSALS FOR WHAT LOOK LIKE FOR ENSLAVED PEOPLE AND DETERMINE WHO MIGHT BE PAID.

REPARATIONS CAN TAKE MANY FORMS.

IT CAN BE CASH PAYMENTS, SUBSIDIZED EDUCATION AND HEALTHCARE OR A DOWN PAYMENT ON A HOUSE.

IN THE STATE LEGISLATURE, SUPPORT FALLS ALONG PARTY LINES.

MOST REPUBLICANS ARGUED AGAINST IT SAYING IT IS A FEDERAL ISSUE IN STATE MONEY SHOULD NOT BE USED TO STUDY IT.

SOME SCHOLARS HAVE CONCERNS ABOUT THE LAW ARGUING THAT THE MAGNITUDE OF WHAT NEEDS TO BE REPAID CAN ONLY BE ACHIEVED AT THE FEDERAL LEVEL.

GOVERNOR GAVIN NEWSOM SAYS THIS IS NOT JUST ABOUT CALIFORNIA.

IT IS ABOUT MAKING AN IMPACT A ROCK ACROSS THE REST OF THE COUNTRY.
