Political career

Marc Levine served on the San Rafael City Council, and gained a reputation for innovative environmental policies and pragmatic solutions.

Levine's election to the Assembly in 2012 was a remarkable upset, in which he prevailed despite being outspent 5-to-1 by a fellow Democrat, Assemblymember Michael Allen.

Levine was reelected to the Assembly in 2014 by nearly a three-to-one margin and received more votes than any other member of the Assembly.
Career
Previous to serving in public office, Levine developed award-winning technology for human rights organizations, in the process raising millions in funding from the U.S. State Department, the Soros Foundation, and other funders to create technology that is now in use globally. He earned his master's degree in National Security Affairs from the Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey, CA, and was recognized with a Special Act Award for his work promoting the elite graduate school around the world.
While earning his Political Science Degree at Cal State Northridge, Levine was elected Chair of the California State Student Association, to represent over 450,000 students on campuses across California to the State Legislature and Board of Trustees.
Personal life
Levine lives in Marin County with his wife Wendy and their two children.
Immigration
Levine has stated: "Immigrants are welcome and we will do everything we can to help them achieve legal status." In 2015, he took action by authoring two immigration bills— both of which were signed by Governor Brown.
AB 899 (Levine) safeguards the privacy of immigrant children by requiring federal immigration officials to obtain a court order before accessing juvenile records.
AB 900 (Levine) helps unaccompanied minor immigrants who are escaping violence and exploitation to receive humanitarian relief through the Special Immigrant Juvenile Status visa process.
In 2014, when more than 60,000 unaccompanied refugee children from poverty-stricken and violence-torn areas of Guatemala, El Salvador and Honduras arrived to the US, more than 4,000 children came to California. Levine worked with legislative leaders and Governor Brown to pass legislation providing $3 million in legal aid for those immigrants.
