Jackie Goldberg, California Assemblymember, 45th Assembly District

Jackie Goldberg represents the 45th District in the California Assembly. She was interviewed today jointly by Stem Cell World and California Politics Today, reflecting the growing convergence of biology and politics.

Assemblymember Goldberg said she thought that stem cell research might be a way to find cures for various difficult-to-treat diseases, but she also said "I haven't made a decision on whether I support Proposition 71. I have made a decision that I support stem cell research."
