Controller: John Chiang and Joe Dunn

The controller sits on the State Lands Commission, the California Pollution Control Financing Authority, and the state pension funds.

Chiang has been elected twice to represent the Los Angeles area on the Board of Equalization. He has consistently voted to uphold and rigorously enforce a series of "polluter-pays" fees that fund programs for electronic-waste recycling, hazardous-waste clean-up, and prevention of childhood lead-poisoning. He also advocated ocean and desert protection as a staff member for former Controller Gray Davis.

Sen. Dunn has compiled an outstanding record during his two terms, despite representing a politically marginal seat in Orange County. Dunn voted for all of Sierra Club California's highest-priority bills on the Senate floor over the last three years. A successful consumer attorney, he demonstrated his investigative ability by leading a hard-hitting Senate inquiry into the profiteering energy companies, such as Enron, who abused California during the electricity crisis.
