On Monday, Aug. 6, Mayor Darrell Steinberg joined other mayors around the country who have sent letters to U.S. Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross urging him to drop a new question on the 2020 Census that requires everyone to declare whether or not they are a citizen. This blatantly political requirement will depress participation in states that have large immigrant populations like California.
