Ron Buckmire
October 17, 2006
The California statewide election is Tuesday, November 7, 2006. Exactly 21 days away. My absentee ballot has arrived and I will be voting for:
Office Endorsed Candidate
Governor Phil Angelides
Lieutenant Governor John Garamendi
Attorney General Jerry Brown
Secretary of State Debra Bowen
Controller John Chiang
Treasurer Bill Lockyer
Insurance Commissioner Steve Poizner
Board of Equalization, 4th Distrist Judy Chu
Proposition Number (Topic) Position
Proposition 1A (Transportation Funding "Protection") NO
Proposition 1B ($19.9bn Transportation Bond) YES
Proposition 1C ($2.85bn Housing/Shelter Bond) YES
Proposition 1D ($10.4bn K-16 Education Bond) YES
Proposition 1E ($4.1bn Disaster/Flood Bond) YES
Proposition 83 ("Tough on sex offenders" measure) NO
Proposition 84 ($10.5bn Clean Water Bond) YES
Proposition 85 (Parental Notification Measure) NO
Proposition 86 (Cigarette Tax Increase) YES
Proposition 87 (Alternative Energy Program Funded By Oil Tax) YES
Proposition 88 (Fake Education Reform Property Tax Increase) NO
Proposition 89 (Political Campaign Reform/public Financing) YES
Proposition 90 (Overturns U.S. Supreme Court Kelo Decision) NOThere are also some local (Los Angeles city and county) measures to be voted on
Proposition (Topic) Position
Measure H ($1bn Low-Cost Housing Bond) YES
Measure J (Technical Fix to 2000 Prop. F) YES
Measure R (City Council Term Limit Extension) YES
In addition, two California Supreme Court justices who may be instrumental in winning the right to marry for same-sex couples in the upcoming case of Woo v Lockyer are up for confirmation of 7-year terms: Joyce L. Kennard and Carol Corrigan. I will be voting to confirm both of them. As usual, there are a slew of other (lower-level) judicial candidates that I have very little information about to make an informed choice about. I will try to have a future article just on voting in judicial elections before November 7.
Have fun filling out your absentee ballots and I hope this list of endorsements was helpful!
