California November 2018 Ballot
I'm posting my choices in the 2018 general election. Links lead to blogs about the specific race:
Governor - Gavin Newsom
Lieutenant Governor - Ed Hernandez
United States Senator - Dianne Feinstein
Attorney General - Xavier Bacera
Mr. Bacera faces off with Steven Bailey. The fact that Mr. Bailey is currently facing ethics charges from the CA Commission on Judicial Performance is troubling. The fact that Mr. Bailey wants to undo the recent legislation that eliminates money bail where not warranted is disqualifying.
Secretary of State - Alex Padilla
He is the incumbent and he has done a good job. His opponent, Mark Meuser is fixated on voter fraud and claims that some of California's counties have more people registered to vote than are actually eligible to be voting. Alex Padilla has earned another term.
State Controller - Betty Yee
Her experience on the State Board of Equalization, her push to overhaul the state's income tax system (which hasn't been changed in a major way since the 1930s) and the transparent way she has operated her office during her first term are clear indicators she deserves another term. The fact her opponent, Konstantinos Roditis wants to de-fund the High Speed Rail project is the only positive I can see regarding his candidacy.
Treasurer - Fiona Ma
Superintendent of Public Instruction - Tony Thurmond
Insurance Commissioner - Steve Poizner
This one is easy. He has the experience and knowledge, as well as a desire to protect consumers rather than insurance companies.
Proposition 1 - No
Proposition 2 - No
Proposition 3 - No (we need to stop approving bonds)
Proposition 4 - No (we need to stop approving bonds)
Proposition 5 - No
Proposition 6 - Yes
Proposition 7 - Yes (it would make Daylight Savings Time permanent, if the U.S. does that at the federal level)
Proposition 8 - No
Proposition 10 - No
Proposition 11 - Yes (no argument in opposition is present on the ballot)
Proposition 12 - Yes (the commercials say it better than I could)
Governor - Gavin Newsom
Lieutenant Governor - Ed Hernandez
United States Senator - Dianne Feinstein
