After his year at Oxford, Bonta returned to New Haven to attend Yale Law School while concurrently working as site coordinator at nonprofit organization Leadership, Education, and Athletics in Partnership (LEAP), where he developed policy and managed activities for 30 staff members and 100 children for an organization serving the Church Street South neighborhood.[9] Bonta was admitted to the California State Bar in 1999.[12]
From 1998 to 1999, Bonta clerked for Judge Alvin W. Thompson of the United States District Court for the District of Connecticut.[9] Bonta then returned to California to be a litigation associate with San Francisco law firm Keker & Van Nest. Working at Keker & Van Nest from 1999 to 2003, Bonta practiced in a variety of areas including civil rights, crime, insurance, patent infringement, legal malpractice, contract, and fraud.[9] As a private attorney, Bonta was part of a team that worked with the ACLU to implement new protocols to prevent racial profiling by the California Highway Patrol.[13]
Bonta, as the assigned attorney by the City Attorney's Office, argued for the city that Medora and her friends put themselves and others in danger by walking on the street and were warned to leave by Damonte and another officer. The city eventually settled the lawsuit for $235,000 in May 2008.[14]
In 2009, Bonta argued on behalf of San Francisco, defending its strip search policy in jails by asserting that concerns about smuggling of drugs and weapons at a main city jail presented reasonable basis for strip searches.[15] The United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit ruled 6–5 in favor of the strip search policy in February 2010.[16]
Alameda City Council
Bonta was elected to Alameda City Council in November 2010. He was sworn in on December 21, 2010, and appointed vice mayor the same day. Within a year, he declared his intent to run for state assembly. In 2012, some Alameda residents started a recall campaign against him but the effort never qualified for the ballot, with Bonta winning election to the state assembly in November 2012.[17] The final city council meeting during which he was a member of the city council was on November 20, 2012.
California State Assembly
Bonta was elected to represent the 18th district in the California State Assembly in the 2012 election. He was reelected in the 2014, 2016, 2018, and 2020 elections. In February 2021, CalMatters reported that Bonta had regularly solicited donations, also known as "behested payments", from companies with business before California's legislature for his wife's nonprofit organization.[18]
Tenure
Healthcare and housing policy
As a member of the state assembly, Bonta authored major changes to California's penal code, as well as immigration, health care, and housing law. Bonta authored legislation in 2016 to outlaw balance billing by hospitals in order to help consumers avoid surprise medical bills.[19] Brown signed the bill into law September 2016.[20]
Bonta introduced Assembly Bill 1481 in 2019, which sought to outlaw baseless evictions and mandate landlords demonstrate "just cause" in order to evict residential tenants. The bill was combined with a statewide cap on rent increases and other rental proposals into a single piece of legislation.[21] That bill, Assembly Bill 1482, was passed by the California Legislature and signed by Newsom in October 2019.[22]
Civil rights
Bonta introduced legislation in January 2013 that would require California public schools, as funding is available, to teach students "the role of immigrants, including Filipino Americans" in the farm labor movement.[23] It was signed into law in October of that same year by Jerry Brown.[24] Bonta's mother, Cynthia Bonta, helped organize Filipino and Mexican Americanfarmworkers for the United Farm Workers.[1]
Bonta introduced legislation to repeal a McCarthy-era ban on Communist Party members holding government jobs in California.[25] The bill received criticism from Republicans, veteran groups and Vietnamese Americans, with Republican Assemblyman Travis Allen calling it "blatantly offensive to all Californians." After passing the State Assembly, the legislation was later withdrawn.[26]
Criminal justice reform
Bonta and State Senator Robert Hertzberg co-authored Senate Bill 10, which when passed, made California the first state in the nation to eliminate money bail for suspects awaiting trial and replace it with a risk-assessment system.[27] On August 28, 2018, Governor Jerry Brown signed the bill into law.[28]
Bonta introduced legislation to end the use of for-profit, private prisons and detention facilities in California. Signed in 2019 by Gavin Newsom, AB 32 made California the first state in the nation to ban both private prisons and civil detention centers.[29]
Bonta joined Assemblymember Kevin McCarty and other colleagues in 2019 as a lead author[30] of Assembly Bill 1506, a bill to mandate an independent review of officers involved in shootings in California by the California Department of Justice. The bill was signed into law in September 2020 by Newsom.[31]
Following the murder of George Floyd and a July 2020 incident in Central Park involving a white woman calling 9-1-1 to report a black man who asked her to obey park rules,[32] Bonta introduced legislation that would criminalize knowingly making a false call to the police based on someone's race, religion, or gender.[33]
As California Attorney General, Bonta has responsibility for enforcing the provisions of the California Housing Opportunity and More Efficiency (HOME) Act, often known as Senate Bill 9 or "SB9". Passed in 2021, the legislation aims to solve the state housing shortage crisis by changing state zoning law to allow for the construction of more units.
In 2022, Bonta intervened after the city of Woodside controversially claimed it is the site of a cougar habitat and should be granted an exception under SB9.[43] In response, Bonta noted that "SB9 does not allow for entire towns or cities to be declared off limits" from the law, and that exceptions require "a parcel specific inquiry".[44] The city of Woodside later abandoned its effort to seek an exception under SB9.[45]
2022 data breach controversy
In June 2022, Bonta released an online dashboard containing data on firearms in what he said was an effort to improve transparency and increase public trust. The site was taken down the following day after a vulnerability on the site inadvertently exposed sensitive information about concealed-carry weapon permit holders.[46] Bonta condemned the incident, saying, it was "unacceptable and falls short of...expectations for this department", and that he was "deeply disturbed and angered", while his office said it was investigating how much information might have been exposed.[46]
According to The Wall Street Journal, data from the gun violence restraining dashboards were leaked, as was data from the assault weapon registry and dashboards pertaining to handgun certification, records of sale, and gun safety. The breach exposed personal data that included names, dates of birth, gender and race, driver’s license number, addresses, and criminal history.[47]
On May 4, 2023, Bonta and his New York counterpart Letitia James announced they would jointly investigate the National Football League over employment practices at its offices in New York City and Los Angeles, citing a report by The New York Times detailing complaints of harassment and discrimination made by former female staffers.[48]

Ground level manifestation of space weather Geomagnetically induced currents (GIC) are electrical currents induced at the Earth's surface by rapid changes in the geomagnetic field caused by space weather events. GICs can affect the normal operation of long electrical conductor systems such as electric transmission grids and buried pipelines. The geomagnetic disturbances which induce GICs include geomagnetic storms and substorms where the most severe disturbances occur at high geomagnetic latitud…
Environmental management paradigm focusing on entire ecosystems Ecosystem-based management is an environmental management approach that recognizes the full array of interactions within an ecosystem, including humans, rather than considering single issues, species, or ecosystem services in isolation.[1] It can be applied to studies in the terrestrial and aquatic environments with challenges being attributed to both. In the marine realm, they are highly challenging to quantify due to highl…
