Two progressive political groups — one representing environmentalists, and the other, consumer attorneys — are funding an expensive and hard-hitting campaign against East Bay Assembly candidate Joel Young. The campaign led by the California League of Conservation Voters and the Consumer Attorneys of California has focused on the numerous controversies surrounding Young, including accusations of domestic violence, violent threats, and the fabrication of endorsements.
