Lloyd Edward Levine (born July 3, 1969) is a Democratic politician who represented California's 40th State Assembly district from December 2, 2002, to November 30, 2008.[1] In the Assembly, Levine served as the Majority Whip and then as chair of the Committee on Utilities and Commerce where he shepherded legislation on renewable energy, energy efficiency, solar, and digital infrastructure. Levine was known for his effort to enact a spay and neutering law for some pets, his effort to ban incandescent light bulbs, his program to promote fitness, and his plastic bag recycling program.[2]
Levine was termed out of the Assembly at the end of 2008 and lost to Fran Pavley in a primary election that year for a state Senate seat. Prior to being elected to the Assembly, Levine served as Legislative Director to former Assemblymember John Longville.
After leaving the Assembly, Levine founded and has headed Filament Strategies.[1] He was named to the founding advisory board of the University of California Riverside School of Public Policy in 2014 [2] and in 2018 was named a Senior Policy Fellow at that school.[3] Levine has consulted on issues relating to the environment and technology, including closing the digital divide in California and increased electric vehicle adoption.[3]
