This effort was born out of family members and friends looking for advice about the oftentimes confusing ballot measures in California. It was once just a personal email list, then an email service and now it has moved to SubStack where folks can get email alerts as well as have a site to visit to reference the measures. Feel free to share with friends and family if you find this helpful, and please unsubscribe without hesitation (no feelings will be hurt!) if you don't.
I do this to help people engage and take part in the process while offering my own viewpoints on the issues, but politics is very personal so if this helps you reach your vote by disagreeing with me, that's great too! Also note that this is not intended to be a complete analysis, so if you feel passionately about one of the measures I encourage you to dig in. Above all, participate in the process, a lot of people lived and died to give you that right and it's your most powerful tool for change.
About me: graduated with a degree in Economics from UC Berkeley, earned a Master of Public Policy (MPP) from the Harvard Kennedy School and have been a political consultant for almost 20 years in California local and state politics.
