So, I’ve done a bunch of research but I don’t have time to write it all out. Please trust that I believe I’ve chosen the right folks, but this is for my particular district so some of these races might look different for you in different parts of the state. Don’t just take my word for it. Compare it with other lists you might have, including the ones that come in the mail from endorsements you trust. Ignore most of the advertising mailers. They’re deceiving.

Don’t forget to vote by June 7th!

  • United States Senator Full Term: Alex Padilla

  • United States Senator Short Term: Alex Padilla (yes you have to vote for him twice)
