Reform California "Plain English" Voter Guide

Compiled by Carl DeMaio

“Please look carefully at your ballot to find the Republican central committee race. It’s time to reform the Republican Party starting with new leadership on our local Central Committee. That’s why I have endorsed a slate of grassroots activists that are committed to cleaning house and revitalizing the Republican party!”

– Carl DeMaio, Chairman of Reform California

VOTE for This Republican Central Committee Slate:

What IS the Central Committee?

Every County has a Republican Party Central Committee that acts as its Board of Directors with the duty to raise funds, endorse candidates, wage campaigns and grow the Party. The San Diego County Republican Party has 45 elected central committee positions on the ballot this year.


It’s Time to Shake Up the Party!

Sadly, the current Republican Party is a complete mess! Locally, the Party has lost seats for years. It’s time to reform the Republican Party starting with new leadership on our local Central Committee. That’s why Carl DeMaio has endorsed the following unity slate of grassroots activists that are running together with a commitment to clean house and revitalize the local party!

State & Local Ballot Measures

Prop 1 – Vote NO

Plain English Title: Raids Treatment Programs to Subsidize Government Welfare Housing

Politicians’ Ballot Title: Authorizes $6.38 Billion in Bonds to Build Mental Health Treatment Facilities; Provides Housing for the Homeless

California’s homelessness crisis will absolutely get worse if Prop 1 passes! Prop 1 raids and diverts funding from treatment programs that serve homeless people in favor of giving billions in subsidies to rich developers for expensive government-subsidized mega housing projects. The mega government housing projects that would be subsidized under Prop 1 have been criticized by numerous independent government auditors for being wasteful – costing as much as $1 million per unit! That is hardly “affordable housing!”

Prop 1 also eliminates your right to vote to reject government welfare housing projects from being placed in your neighborhood. We need to reject Prop 1 and tell politicians to use our precious funds for more efficient options like treatment and shelter beds for the homeless!

Measure A – City of San Diego Only (VOTE YES)

Authorizing the City Auditor and Audit Committee to Use Outside Legal Counsel Instead of Elected  City Attorney

The audit committee’s independence is vitally important to hold politicians accountable. If the audit committee believes that the city attorney is not providing impartial and appropriate legal support, they should have the option of using outside independent counsel.

Measure B – Mountain Empire Unified School District (VOTE NO)

A property tax increase! As enrollment declines in public schools in California, school districts need to consider more cost-effective alternatives.

Measure C – Rincon Ranch Community Services District (VOTE NO)

A property tax increase!
