ASSEMBLY
MATT HARPER ENDORSED
Keith Curry: This is the only incident where we take an active “NO” endorsement on a candidate.  Do not vote for the contemptible Curry.

ASSESSOR: 
Claude Parish ENDORSED — We need Claude as our assessor.

CONGRESS:
Congressman Dana Rohrabacher ENDORSED
Dana does a fantastic job representing us by protecting our Bill of Rights, preserving and strengthening states rights, promoting conservative budgets, and advocating for the use of technology in wars rather than spending the lives of our boys in wars overseas.

——

We are a hyper-local organization, so there are some district-wide and state-wide initiatives and candidates that we have not personally researched or people who we do not personally know.  For this reason, we cannot endorse them.  However, if you have not read a measure or know someone personally who has, it is always best to vote it down.  The ballot statements very often state precisely the opposite of what the bills do in reality.

In short: If you don’t know, VOTE NO!
