Senator “California” Carley rode again yesterday with some odd confluence between House Bill 1221, an act to provide funding for organizations that assist victims of domestic violence and Senate Bill 156, a measure to increase the minimum age for marriage.
So, if you remember back on February 18th, the marriage minimum bill failed in the senate, and KELOland reported that California Carley expressed that sex between an adult and a minor is better if the two are married than if they are not, as Carley claimed to be “appalled at the idea of predators and abusers taking some of our young daughters and forcing them into a life of servitude and abuse.”
Okay.
Yesterday, a bill was in front of House Joint Appropriations – House Bill 1221 – which would help restore funds to organizations that help :
- Children who have been abused or neglected;
- Victims of domestic violence;
- Victims of sexual assault;
- Victims of commercial sexual exploitation; or
- Victims of human trafficking.
Literally, victims of domestic abuse – which include those who were trapped in marriages because they were child brides and need help for the various problems that child brides suffer – came to the state because their federal funding is failing. Despite California Carley claiming 9-10 days ago that he was “appalled at the idea of predators and abusers taking some of our young daughters and forcing them into a life of servitude and abuse.” he was one of only three votes against the measure.
Despite his earlier claims, the reality is that “California” Carley voted against supporting victims of domestic violence, rape and abuse & human trafficking after previously saying he was appalled at the idea of young girls being victims of predators.
It’s like noises come out of his mouth, but different actions occur when it comes time to actually vote.
Despite Carley’s efforts, the bill passed committee on a vote of 15-3. (Note – Sen. Taffy Howard and Rep. Sjaarda also voted against victims of sexual assault & human trafficking)
Can someone just shove this guy in a UHaul and take him back to California?
No way. That district should suffer the consequences of electing a California transplant over a life long resident of the district and a liked and respected legislator. They should be ashamed of themselves
I think he was mostly elected by newbies that have moved into our area and don’t know any better. Yes we are ashamed of him but he was supported by mostly corridor people that have recently moved here.
Is this guy the vice-chair of Embarrassments-R-Us? Since Confused Phil Jensen is chair, this loon fits right in.
California Carley is another Doeden (Over 70% Unliked by Abredonians) endorsed and supported dumpster diver.

Sjaarda seems like he doesn’t have a grasp on reality outside of his little bubble of comfort and prosperity. I think he needs to get out more and talk to these organizations and listen to the victims. Since most churches don’t bother getting into uncomfortable situations, like sexual assault, and do the churches job to care for, mentor, and help these people, organizations have to step up. Funds are needed. SA happens more often than we know or care to talk about.
