James Stephen Peace (born March 30, 1953) is an American writer, actor, and producer, best known for the Attack of the Killer Tomatoes!

He attended Bonita Vista High School, where he played football and basketball and was president of the student body.

Peace got his start in politics as a protégé of State Senator Wadie Deddeh and Assemblyman Larry Kapiloff.

Senate Bill 129 also created the Office of Privacy Protection within the Department of Consumer Affairs to inform the public of potential options for protecting their privacy, receive complaints concerning persons unlawfully using others' personal information, and help prosecute identity theft and other privacy-related crimes.

An editorial from 1996 supported the measures taken by the legislature at the time: Last year, the California Public Utilities Commission rolled out a plan to turn electric power monopolies into free-market competitors.

Their plan protects residential and small business customers; it treats public and investor-owned utilities fairly; it maintains important social programs such as energy efficiency and assistance.

[5]The "Steve Peace Death March" (over 200 hours of televised public hearings), produced a measure that passed both houses without any opposing votes.

The consensus at the time was that the collapse was the result of flawed market design and consumer price caps included in AB1890.
