STATEWIDE Ballot Measures


MEASURE


POSITION


RATIONAL

Proposition 2

SUPPORT

Provides critical funding for local school repairs and safety projects. Prop 2 guards against higher property taxes, lowers costs for homeowners, and imposes strict accountability and public disclosure, and mandates independent audits to protect the money from Sacramento politicians.

Proposition 3

NEUTRAL

ACA 5 repeals a provision of the California Constitution in conflict with federal law and adds a provision providing that marriage is a fundamental right for all Californians.

Proposition 4

OPPOSE

California already dedicates billions of dollars, from multiple sources to climate programs. Bonds of this nature should be prioritized for other issues facing the state and include strict transparency and accountability measures to ensure proper use.

Proposition 5

OPPOSE

ACA 1 is a direct attack on our Prop. 13 taxpayer protections. It dismantles taxpayer safeguards that have been in place for more than 40 years and makes it easier to raise local bonds for virtually any purpose.

Proposition 6

OPPOSE

Prohibits the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation from disciplining any incarcerated person for refusing a work assignment.

Proposition 32

OPPOSE

Increases the state minimum wage to $18 per hour by 2026. Increases in minimum wage have adverse impacts on the cost of living and disproportionately affect small businesses — causing jobs to be destroyed and prices to rise.

Proposition 33

OPPOSE

Prop 33 would allow city councils to impose rent control on privately owned single-family homes and could even lead to unelected bureaucrats charging homeowners a fee for taking their homes off the rental market. According to the state’s Independent Legislative Analysis, Prop 33 will lead to a loss of revenue for local governments across the state, and could result in higher local property taxes — making housing more expensive.

Proposition 34

SUPPORT

Institutes accountability measures to ensure the appropriate use of taxpayer dollars. Forces abusers of the drug discount program to adhere to the program’s mission to provide healthcare to low-income patients and restricts the funds being used for political purposes.

Proposition 35

SUPPORT

The State has redirected more than $30 billion in Medi-Cal funding in the past 15 years and used these funds for non-health care purposes. Prop 35 protects access to health care for 15 million Medi-Cal patients and all Californians — without raising taxes — by preventing the state from redirecting existing health care funds. Prop 35 caps administrative expenses at 1%, requiring 99% of revenues to go to patient care, and requires independent performance audits. Supported by CA Republican Party, EMTs, Paramedics, ER doctors.

Proposition 36

SUPPORT

California has an epidemic of drug use, trafficking, and repeat retail theft because people committing these crimes do not face any serious consequences. Prop 36 will create real accountability for breaking these laws. Prop 36 will reduce crime by enforcing tougher laws against retail crime and will make stores in every community safer for customers and employees. It will also punish those who traffic fentanyl, and encourage those with drug addiction to enter into and finish drug treatment programs.
