Assemblymember Matt Haney represents California’s 17th Assembly District encompassing the Eastern side of San Francisco and serves as the Assembly’s Majority Whip; the chair of the Fentanyl, Opioid Addiction, and Overdose Protection select committee; and on the Local Government, Government Organization, Health, Judiciary, and Appropriations committees.
In his first full year in the State Legislature, Assemblymember Haney successfully sent 12 bills to the governor’s desk to be signed into law. Several of these bills worked to tackle the addiction and opioid crisis. Prioritizing housing, he created the “Rental Deposit Fairness Act”, limiting security deposits to a maximum of one month’s rent. This is his third time attending COP.
