In this year’s General Election, being held on November 8, 2022, California voters will vote for their State Officials. Here is what you can expect to see in your General Election Voter Ballot: For Governor: Gavin Newsom www.gavinnewsom.com No candidate statement. Brian Dahle www.briandahle.com "Are you better off now than you were four years ago? Can you afford four more years of the highest energy rates and highest gas prices in the nation? The high cost of gas and food hurts us all. California doesn’t need to be in a constant state of crisis. Failed political leadership is destroying California and hurting California families. It’s time for change. That’s why I support suspending the state’s 54 cents per gallon gas tax which would save the average family over $1500 a year. The state has spent billions on the homeless, but the homelessness crisis is worse than ever. We need to focus our resources on getting people off the streets and the help they need. Making California neighborhoods safer is critical. That’s why I will reverse failed policies that released thousands of violent repeat offenders from prison and fix broken laws that let criminals steal without being held accountable. California is heading in the wrong direction. The next generation is counting on us to turn it around. I’m a business owner, State Senator, and farmer who will work with Democrats, Independents, and Republicans to build a better tomorrow. There is hope for California, let’s bring back the California dream. Can I count on your vote? www.briandahle.com" For Lieutenant Governor: Eleni Kounalakis www.eleniforca.com "I have been honored and humbled to serve as your Lieutenant Governor as we work together to make our way through these difficult times. As Lieutenant Governor, I am a member of all three governing boards for California’s public colleges and universities. I have fought tuition increases and supported initiatives to increase access to college so future generations have a chance to achieve the California Dream. To address our housing shortage, our boards have approved more than 30,000 new beds on our public university campuses. As our state faces historic wildfires and droughts, I was proud to lead California’s delegation to the United Nations Climate Change Conference to showcase our state’s innovation and press the world to aggressively combat the devastating impacts of climate change. As Chair of the State Lands Commission, I oversaw closures of oil wells off the coast of California and helped ensure no new offshore oil development. While women’s rights are under attack across the country, I fought for new laws in California to protect women from sexual assault and expand access to reproductive choice. As California’s economic ambassador, I’m focused on creating good-paying jobs for Californians. That’s why I led delegations to Mexico, India, and Armenia to focus on environmental cooperation and economic development. I am proud of our work thus far, but we have much more left to do. I would be honored to have your support and vote." Angela E. Underwood Jacobs www.angelaforcalifornia.com No candidate statement. For Secretary of State: Rob Bernosky www.votebernosky.com "I will focus on the responsibilities of the office of Secretary of State and have no other agenda. Making it easier to elect leaders to fight high gas and food prices, have high-quality and safe schools, put criminals behind bars, and make our cities beautiful again is what I will do. Making California more friendly to businesses and creating high-paying jobs is very important, and I will help do that. I am up to the task of making sure that our voter eligibility lists do not contain errors and that every vote is counted correctly. Voting for Robert Bernosky is a vote to restore California. My philosophy is: Shouldn’t government provide us the means to have enough water, put criminals behind bars, have great schools, build good roads, and provide for our safety? Let’s get people into office that will work for you, with no other agenda. We can do this, together." Shirley N. Weber www.DrShirleyWeber.com "After being unanimously confirmed as Secretary of State in 2021 with bipartisan support, I oversaw a safe, secure, and seamless statewide election with record participation and worked to make universal voting-by-mail permanent. I’ve spent my career fighting for social and racial justice and expanding access to the ballot to every eligible Californian, bringing nearly 50 years of experience as a professor, advocate, and lawmaker to the job of running our state’s elections. If elected, I will (1) upgrade our cybersecurity policies to ensure our elections are protected from attempts to undermine our democratic process, (2) improve transparency in our elections, lobbyist registration, and campaign finance systems, (3) strengthen and extend the successful reforms that led to record voter turnout in 2020 and 2021, and (4) continue to solidify California’s reputation as a national leader on expanding voting rights. My parents were denied the right to vote in the Jim Crow South where I was born, and came to California in search of a better life. They inspired my respect for and commitment to democracy from a young age, including running a polling place from our living room in South Los Angeles. The fight to protect the right to vote and expand access to the ballot is personal to me. I won’t back down and I won’t let you down. Vote Dr. Shirley N. Weber for Secretary of State. Visit www.DrShirleyWeber.com to learn more." For Controller: Lanhee J. Chen www.chenforcalifornia.com The State Controller should be California’s independent fiscal watchdog, who makes sure our money is spent wisely. But time and again, the Sacramento insiders have failed us. We are wasting billions every year. For example, at the start of the pandemic, California handed out over $20 billion in fraudulent unemployment benefits. That amount could have paid every Californian’s state gas taxes for over two years, or for the salaries of 236,000 new teachers! I’m running for Controller to fight for taxpayers. I have a specific plan to deliver transparency and demand accountability for every dollar our state spends. I’ve been endorsed by over a dozen newspapers across California, including the Los Angeles Times, which called me “the best choice for this position” because I am “a sharp thinker with experience analyzing large financial systems and because the controller should be as independent from the party in power as possible.” I’m not a career politician, but have started a business, advised policymakers, and taught at Stanford University. I served presidents from both parties, working to save Social Security and make healthcare more affordable. I grew up in Southern California as the son of immigrants, attended my local public high school, and went on to earn four degrees from Harvard, including my Ph.D. My wife, kids and I now live in the Bay Area. Sacramento can’t keep wasting so much of our hard-earned money. We need to spend smarter. I’ll make sure we do. Malia M. Cohen www.MaliaCohen.us "California should be a place where everyone can find a good job and affordable housing. Your next State Controller will oversee essential spending to solve challenges like homelessness and the rising cost of living—we need someone with both the experience and values to do the job. I’ve dedicated my career to public service, focused on making our tax dollars work for all of us. As Chair of the State Board of Equalization, I serve as a watchdog over $80 billion in state finances, work to provide tax relief for Californians reeling from the pandemic, and hold corporations accountable for paying their fair share. I’ve cut wasteful spending and launched a Property Tax Modernization Initiative to ensure that the state administers property taxes more efficiently and fairly. On the San Francisco Board of Supervisors, I led efforts to divest the city’s pension fund from fossil fuels, oversaw the adoption of an $11 billion budget, and fought to increase the minimum wage. Our campaign is supported by leaders and working people throughout California, from State Controller Betty Yee and the California Democratic Party to Nurses, Teachers, Firefighters and the Planned Parenthood Action Fund. When elected, I’ll be among the state’s first working moms to serve as CFO, an important experience as California faces child care shortages among working parents. As Controller, I will ensure our tax dollars address the homelessness crisis, protect our environment, and provide access to healthcare and reproductive freedom. Let’s build a California where everyone thrives. www.MaliaCohen.us" For Treasurer: Fiona Ma www.fionama.com "I’m running for re-election as State Treasurer because California’s economic strength requires a proven problem solver with a track record of getting things done. I’ll continue to fight for people across our great state by investing in housing, schools, hospitals, infrastructure, first responders, environmental protection, green energy and transportation. During my first term, we refinanced state bonds to save taxpayers more than $5 billion over the next 20 years. Legislators from both parties have praised our oversight of COVID-19 funds, which prevented hundreds of millions of dollars in potential fraud and abuse. Last year we processed $3.2 trillion in banking transactions and oversaw a record budget surplus of $85 billion that went to create new jobs by funding innovative projects. We approved more affordable housing units than ever in our state’s history and increased our first-time homebuyer program for families and veterans. We helped more Californians save for college/apprenticeship programs and retirement. This year, we will launch CalKIDS to help our children thrive by increasing access to higher education. I have been a Certified Public Accountant since 1992 and hold a B.S. in Accounting, M.S. in Taxation and an MBA in Finance. I have the financial knowledge and experience to ensure California remains an economic powerhouse while moving toward a more sustainable and affordable future for all residents across the state. I will continue to safeguard our tax dollars, invest wisely, and make sure government works with accountability and transparency. I would be honored to earn your vote. Thank you." Jack M. Guerrero www.jack4treasurer.com "Are you happy with $7 gas, record inflation, excessive taxation, and deteriorating quality of life? California’s financial crisis is the consequence of severe mismanagement and poor leadership by reckless politicians. They do not care about California’s horrible credit rating, unfunded pension liabilities in excess of $1 trillion, record-high interest payments, and fake budget “surpluses.” Instead, they impose excessive taxes, crippling fees, and government-fueled inflation. Had enough? My name is Jack Guerrero and I can help remediate the state’s financial predicament. I am the son of hard-working Mexican Catholic immigrant parents who instilled strong Family Values and the humility to serve others with integrity. As my 83-year-old father says: “¡Ya basta! Necesitamos un gobierno honesto, justo, y transparente.” I bring a successful track record as Mayor, Councilmember, Certified Public Accountant, Stanford economics graduate, Harvard MBA, Treasury professional, and advisor to Fortune 500 companies. In my early career, I audited federal agencies and municipalities as government accounting expert to quickly and efficiently detect financial mismanagement! As Mayor of my hometown city (Los Angeles County), I balanced the budget, reduced taxes, held public schools accountable, and worked with the California Controller to expose millions of dollars in wasteful and unlawful spending. I am proud of this record of achievement as the only Republican elected official in a region that is 98% Hispanic and overwhelmingly Democrat. Help me bring the same discipline to Sacramento, because hard-working Californians cannot afford four more years of failed policies." For Attorney General: Nathan Hochman www.nathanhochman.com "Do you feel more safe and secure today than you have in the past 2, 4, 6, or 8 years? I am running for California Attorney General because I believe the answer for all Californians is “No.” Only with new leadership can we hope to solve our state’s toughest problems: rising crime threatening our families and communities, out-of-control homelessness, and a fentanyl and drug epidemic claiming more Californians’ lives each day. My background, experience, independence, and common-sense policies will provide that new leadership and restore safety as a basic right of every Californian. After graduating from Stanford Law School and clerking for a federal judge, I began my career as a federal prosecutor—bringing justice to criminals such as corrupt government officials, narcotics traffickers, violent gang members, and environmental polluters. I later served as an Assistant Attorney General of the United States Department of Justice, appointed by the President and unanimously confirmed by the U.S. Senate. Overseeing the Tax Division, I led a team of over 350 lawyers and successfully brought cases throughout the nation. In California, I continued to fight against corruption as President of the Los Angeles City Ethics Commission. In the private sector, I have earned a reputation as one of the nation’s leading criminal justice attorneys, defending the constitutional rights of individuals against government overreach. I am grateful for the support of a bipartisan coalition of public safety leaders including Democrats like former Los Angeles County District Attorney Jackie Lacey and Independents like Sacramento County District Attorney Anne Marie Schubert. I would be honored to have your vote." Rob Bonta www.robbonta.com "As your Attorney General and chief law enforcement officer, I’m fighting to protect the rights, freedoms, and safety of all Californians. As the Supreme Court stripped away women’s right to choose, my office is leading the nation in protecting abortion rights. Pro-choice groups like Planned Parenthood say re-electing me is one of the most important steps Californians can take to preserve reproductive freedom. Under my leadership, my office has successfully defended California’s gun safety laws from being overturned. We have taken thousands of illegal guns off our streets and out of the hands of felons and domestic abusers. Both law enforcement organizations and victims’ rights advocates have praised my office’s actions to protect public safety and hold those who break the law accountable. I launched new special investigative teams to apprehend sex traffickers and take down criminal street gangs. I’ve secured felony sentences in one of the largest organized retail theft busts in California history, and I supported increased funding for community policing programs, prosecutions of violent crimes, and crime prevention strategies like addiction and mental health treatment. At my direction, my office launched efforts to hold major polluters and pharmaceutical companies accountable for breaking California law. I’m proud to have the support of Planned Parenthood and California’s nurses, teachers, firefighters, law enforcement leaders and gun safety advocates. My parents instilled in me that helping others is our highest calling. As your Attorney General, I have the privilege of serving California and would be honored to have your vote. www.robbonta.com" For Insurance Commissioner: Robert Howell www.electroberthowell.com "Californians deserve real insurance solutions and not more political double-talk. Robert Howell is a plain-spoken Independent Businessman that will represent “The People.” Voting for Robert Howell means equitable and fair treatment for all Californians. He will fight corruption and fix problems that raise our insurance rates. Robert Howell is Not a Politician desperately hanging onto a high-paying office. He refuses to take insurance company money. Robert Howell is strongly committed to helping the tens of thousands of California wildfire victims. Even more folks have experienced drastic price increases or had their homeowner insurance coverage abruptly cancelled without any reasonable explanation. Robert Howell will end these prejudicial “redlining” practices. More details can be found in the recent ConsumerWatchdog.org Investigative Report—“Up in Smoke: How Insurance Companies and the Insurance Commissioner Burn Wildfire Victims.” Robert Howell owns & operates a successful electronics firm in the Silicon Valley. He employs dozens of good people, produces great American-Made products and enjoys an outstanding safety track-record. As a husband, father and grandfather, Robert Howell understands that we all have precious Families to protect. Hundreds of thousands of Californians have already fled our once Golden State due to inflation, high cost of housing, and $6 per gallon gas prices. As our next Insurance Commissioner, Robert Howell will proudly serve as your personal watchdog, guarding against waste, fraud, and abusively inflated premiums. Vote for an Independent Leader that you can Trust! Robert Howell for Insurance Commissioner." Ricardo Lara www.ricardolara.com "As your Insurance Commissioner, I am bringing years of on-the-job experience to solve some of California’s most pressing problems, from helping wildfire survivors to holding insurers accountable. And as reproductive rights are under attack nationally and in other states, I am more committed than ever to fighting for equality in health care choices here in California. Experience: I’ve personally met with thousands of people in dozens of counties impacted by wildfires to hear directly from survivors. As a result, I’m taking executive action to require insurance discounts for safer homes and sponsored legislation to streamline the process for survivors to receive benefits. My actions have preserved insurance for more than 4 million Californians while prioritizing climate protections. Accountability: During the worst of the pandemic, California drivers were paying full price for auto insurance even though they weren’t on the roads. That’s why I directed insurance companies to provide premium relief, saving California drivers more than $2 billion. Commitment: I have always been a champion for access to quality health care. As Insurance Commissioner, I’ve advocated for new, innovative ideas, like the Parent Healthcare Act to allow policyholders to include elderly parents on their health plans. I will always be on your side, fighting for equal rights for all, reproductive rights, a fairer insurance market and standing up for survivors of natural disasters. I’m proud to have the support of the California Professional Firefighters, consumer advocates, nurses and teachers. I humbly ask for your vote. www.RicardoLara.com"
