June Primary Elections Feature Many Candidates, Few Ballot Measures
Following is the information that candidates provided to SmartVoter.org, a project of the League of Women Voters, and gathered from the internet.
The June Primary will be the first time that Proposition 14 will be in effect, statewide, allowing any voter to vote for any candidate. Plus only the top two candidates in each race will run against each other in the General Election in November.
First is their name, then their party affiliation followed by their ballot designation and occupation and contact information.
All campaigns were contacted and offered the opportunity to advertise with us.
