ELECTION RIGGING RESPONSE ACT
Yes on Prop 50
Emergency for Democracy
This isn’t politics as usual
Donald Trump and Texas Republicans are making an unprecedented power grab to steal congressional seats and rig the 2026 election before voting even begins.
Other Republican states are following suit. They want to steal enough seats to control Congress regardless of how the people vote.
If Californians don’t act now, Donald Trump will seize total power for two more years.
THE WORKFORCE HOUSING AFFORDABILITY ACT
Yes on Measure C
Make Housing Affordable
The problem is urgent.
High cost of housing is the single biggest problem in Santa Cruz. Many retired people can’t afford to stay here, our kids have to move away, and long commutes keep working people apart from their families – worsening traffic and climate air quality. It also makes homelessness harder to address.
Voting Yes on C would provide nearly $100 million in locally controlled funding
