Next Tuesday, March 5 is California’s Presidential Primary, even though that office is way down on the ballot, we nearly missed it! There are also several important races on theballot, like who will represent us in Congress and the United States Senate. California Proposition 1, a measure that would allocate tax revenue toward mental health, is on the ballot as well as several city-wide races, like County Supervisor and District Attorney, plus a slew of judges. As a result, campaign materials have been filling our snail mailboxes as well as our email boxes, not to mention text messages!
There are lots of voting guides, LAist Voter Game Plan, the Los Angeles Times Voter Guide, and materials sent by the California Secretary of State.
If you missed the Congressional candidate debate earlier this month at The Ebell of Los Angeles featuring 10 of 15 candidates running to take Congressman Adams Schiff’s seat for CD30, , you can click here for a replay.
When you are ready to vote, if you haven’t already voted by mail, a ballot was sent to every registered voter in LA County and should have arrived earlier this month, you can choose from over 400 locations to drop off your ballot.
