Gallagher is running on a typical <a href=\"https:\/\/electjamesgallagher.com\/#:~:text=James%20Gallagher%27s%20COMMON%2DSENSE%20PLATFORM%C2%A0\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/electjamesgallagher.com\/#:~:text=James%20Gallagher%27s%20COMMON%2DSENSE%20PLATFORM%C2%A0\">republican platform<\/a> that touts \u201ctougher laws\u201d on crime, defending property rights, and \u201cprotecting\u201d farms and businesses from government regulation. But most tellingly, his platform indisputably supports Trump\u2019s border security\u2014ICE. On the other hand, Mike McGuire is an establishment Democrat, is endorsed by the JStreet PAC (which supports Israel), and has received scrutiny for suspicious use of campaign funds. That\u2019s not to say he hasn\u2019t accomplished anything on the California Senate; notably, he\u2019s helped pass a major 2025 affordability package, and free school meals for public school students. But this race still doesn\u2019t present an ideal choice for the DSA voter.<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The voter who strategizes for lesser evil should vote for McGuire, but his record in office does not align him with DSA goals. Mike McGuire is an establishment democrat who is likely to win. He\u2019s not likely to need your vote.

In office, Huffman has worked to implement environmental protections on California\u2019s coast and access to affordable housing in some areas. In recent years, he has grown more critical of Israel, but in July, ultimately voted a timid \u201cPresent\u201d on the Massie Amendment, which would have prevented any funds in the H.R. 8595 National Security Appropriations Act from being used for Israel. He is not quite there yet. To end on a positive note, he regularly sounds the alarm about the degrading separation of church and state, opposing the religious right.<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is apt that his Republican challenger centers her campaign on faith. Robin Littau offers to be a &#8220;servant hearted integrious leader\u201d (we\u2019re not sure what that means either), and wholeheartedly supports Israel. Her campaign\u2019s \u201cmy kid, my call\u201d pillar strongly suggests an opposition to the SAFETY act, which protects trans children in California from being mandatorily outed to unsupportive or bigoted parents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Huffman is the better choice, but his lack of alignment with DSA views on ending military aid to Israel is the chief thing preventing us from recommending him to DSA voters. Littau, with her lack of experience and poorly articulated goals, stands little chance of beating him.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>United States Representative, 4th District&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-stackable-accordion stk-block-accordion stk-inner-blocks stk-block-content stk-block stk-e25b645 is-style-default\" data-block-id=\"e25b645\">\n<summary class=\"wp-block-stackable-column stk-block-column stk-column stk-block stk-09675ff stk--container-small stk-block-accordion__heading\" data-v=\"4\" data-block-id=\"09675ff\"><div class=\"stk-column-wrapper stk-block-column__content stk-container stk-09675ff-container stk-hover-parent\"><div class=\"stk-block-content stk-inner-blocks stk-09675ff-inner-blocks\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-icon-label stk-block-icon-label stk-block stk-9d95e81\" data-block-id=\"9d95e81\"><div class=\"stk-row stk-inner-blocks stk-block-content\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-heading stk-block-heading stk-block-heading--v2 stk-block stk-148677d\" id=\"span-style-color-var-theme-palette-color-5-ef-676-c-class-stk-highlight-no-recommendation-span\" data-block-id=\"148677d\"><h4 class=\"stk-block-heading__text\"><span style=\"color: var(--theme-palette-color-5, #EF676C);\" class=\"stk-highlight\">No Recommendation<\/span><\/h4><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-icon stk-block-icon stk-block stk-2d192c2\" data-block-id=\"2d192c2\"><span class=\"stk--svg-wrapper\"><div class=\"stk--inner-svg\"><svg style=\"height:0;width:0\"><defs><linearGradient id=\"linear-gradient-2d192c2\" x1=\"0\" x2=\"100%\" y1=\"0\" y2=\"0\"><stop offset=\"0%\" style=\"stop-opacity:1;stop-color:var(--linear-gradient-2-d-192-c-2-color-1)\"><\/stop><stop offset=\"100%\" style=\"stop-opacity:1;stop-color:var(--linear-gradient-2-d-192-c-2-color-2)\"><\/stop><\/linearGradient><\/defs><\/svg><svg data-prefix=\"fas\" data-icon=\"chevron-down\" class=\"svg-inline--fa fa-chevron-down fa-w-14\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 448 512\" aria-hidden=\"true\" width=\"32\" height=\"32\"><path fill=\"currentColor\" d=\"M207.029 381.476L12.686 187.132c-9.373-9.373-9.373-24.569 0-33.941l22.667-22.667c9.357-9.357 24.522-9.375 33.901-.04L224 284.505l154.745-154.021c9.379-9.335 24.544-9.317 33.901.04l22.667 22.667c9.373 9.373 9.373 24.569 0 33.941L240.971 381.476c-9.373 9.372-24.569 9.372-33.942 0z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/div><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/summary>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-column stk-block-column stk-column stk-block stk-917a749 stk-block-accordion__content\" data-v=\"4\" data-block-id=\"917a749\"><div class=\"stk-column-wrapper stk-block-column__content stk-container stk-917a749-container stk--no-background stk--no-padding\"><div class=\"stk-block-content stk-inner-blocks stk-917a749-inner-blocks\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-text stk-block-text stk-block stk-02b3722\" data-block-id=\"02b3722\"><p class=\"stk-block-text__text\">Voters in District 4 must choose between incumbent Mike Thompson and challenger Eric Jones, both running within the Democratic Party. On paper, Jones has a much more progressive platform: Medicare for all, a $10,000 working-class tax credit, a national housing construction bank, and a stock-trading ban. Thompson, who was first elected to the House in 1998, has more experience and a voting record matching a standard Democratic congressperson: he was an ACA co-sponsor, a proponent of gun reform, and the AFL-CIO gives his voting record a lifetime score of 97% (the same of as the average House Democrat). Thompson would likely have seniority on Ways and Means if Democrats win the House. The main worry for a DSA-aligned voter should be Jones\u2019 ties to Silicon Valley and Venture Capitalist firms. While Jones has sworn off taking PAC money (his campaign is nearly 2\/3 self-funded), VC and finance donors dominate his campaign\u2019s financial filings. However, it\u2019s worth noting that Jones\u2019 stated policies support regulating AI. On the other hand, Thompson is open to accepting contributions from PACs (roughly $750,000), and last year voted Yes on H.R. 3633, a pro-Crypto bill that would effectively reduce oversight of digital assets.<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Those who saw Jones at a local candidates forum came away with an impression of him as arrogant and overbearing. Jones is trying to appeal to Republican voters in the redrawn district by dancing between progressive populism and reactionary libertarianism, playing the outsider who will challenge the system &#8211; despite the fact that he&#8217;s actually a rich venture capitalist who put over $5 million of his own money into buying this race. His campaign ads are misleading &#8211; for example, falsely implying that he&#8217;s endorsed by Bernie Sanders (he&#8217;s not). Jones is an opportunist with no moral convictions, and is unfit for public office.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"color: var(--theme-palette-color-3, #727272);\" class=\"stk-highlight\">State Offices<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>State Senator, 2nd District<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-stackable-accordion stk-block-accordion stk-inner-blocks stk-block-content stk-block stk-eaf2a9c is-style-default\" data-block-id=\"eaf2a9c\">\n<summary class=\"wp-block-stackable-column stk-block-column stk-column stk-block stk-052e3af stk--container-small stk-block-accordion__heading\" data-v=\"4\" data-block-id=\"052e3af\"><div class=\"stk-column-wrapper stk-block-column__content stk-container stk-052e3af-container stk-hover-parent\"><div class=\"stk-block-content stk-inner-blocks stk-052e3af-inner-blocks\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-icon-label stk-block-icon-label stk-block stk-36cdb19\" data-block-id=\"36cdb19\"><div class=\"stk-row stk-inner-blocks stk-block-content\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-heading stk-block-heading stk-block-heading--v2 stk-block stk-c570a93\" id=\"span-style-color-var-theme-palette-color-1-ec-1-f-27-class-stk-highlight-recommended-damon-connolly-span\" data-block-id=\"c570a93\"><h4 class=\"stk-block-heading__text\"><span style=\"color: var(--theme-palette-color-1, #EC1F27);\" class=\"stk-highlight\">Recommended: Damon Connolly<\/span><\/h4><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-icon stk-block-icon stk-block stk-05d0727\" data-block-id=\"05d0727\"><span class=\"stk--svg-wrapper\"><div class=\"stk--inner-svg\"><svg style=\"height:0;width:0\"><defs><linearGradient id=\"linear-gradient-05d0727\" x1=\"0\" x2=\"100%\" y1=\"0\" y2=\"0\"><stop offset=\"0%\" style=\"stop-opacity:1;stop-color:var(--linear-gradient-05-d-0727-color-1)\"><\/stop><stop offset=\"100%\" style=\"stop-opacity:1;stop-color:var(--linear-gradient-05-d-0727-color-2)\"><\/stop><\/linearGradient><\/defs><\/svg><svg data-prefix=\"fas\" data-icon=\"chevron-down\" class=\"svg-inline--fa fa-chevron-down fa-w-14\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 448 512\" aria-hidden=\"true\" width=\"32\" height=\"32\"><path fill=\"currentColor\" d=\"M207.029 381.476L12.686 187.132c-9.373-9.373-9.373-24.569 0-33.941l22.667-22.667c9.357-9.357 24.522-9.375 33.901-.04L224 284.505l154.745-154.021c9.379-9.335 24.544-9.317 33.901.04l22.667 22.667c9.373 9.373 9.373 24.569 0 33.941L240.971 381.476c-9.373 9.372-24.569 9.372-33.942 0z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/div><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/summary>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-column stk-block-column stk-column stk-block stk-e4a6154 stk-block-accordion__content\" data-v=\"4\" data-block-id=\"e4a6154\"><div class=\"stk-column-wrapper stk-block-column__content stk-container stk-e4a6154-container stk--no-background stk--no-padding\"><div class=\"stk-block-content stk-inner-blocks stk-e4a6154-inner-blocks\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-text stk-block-text stk-block stk-fa72de4\" data-block-id=\"fa72de4\"><p class=\"stk-block-text__text\">The race for State Senate in the 2nd district pits Damon Connolly (D) against Tief Gibbs (R). Gibbs is a board member of the Novato Downtown Business Association who professes to uphold conservative values. She advocates for more oil drilling, appears to tacitly support ICE, and she is endorsed by the California Rifle and Pistol Association. In contrast, while in the State Senate, Connolly has passed bills to limit fees on residential solar, and has signed onto AB 92, a state bill aimed at preventing mass shootings by preventing people who own firearms from buying body armor. He\u2019s campaigning on wildfire prevention, confronting the climate crisis, affordable healthcare, reproduction rights, and other important progressive goals.

Greer\u2019s positions include a litany of conservative goals such as: \u201cschool choice\u201d policies that reroute our hard-earned tax dollars away from public schools to charter and private schools, tough-on-crime policies would further criminalize at-risk community members without actually reducing crime, and \u201cauditing and reporting\u201d dogwhistles that would drag our progressive investments in healthcare, education, and homeless backwards.

What many don\u2019t realize is that there is a corporate \u2018money machine\u2019 running local politics as well. Here in Sonoma County, developers and realtors, big ag and the wine industry, tourism, big box retailers, and other commercial interests spend a lot of money electing \u2018business-friendly\u2019 candidates to city councils and the county board of supervisors. They understand that local policy decisions about zoning, land use, water access, property taxes, sales tax, minimum wage, unionization, housing and rent control, all affect their profit margins, so they see buying elections as an investment.<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They typically work through a local power broker named Rob Muelrath. Most voters have never heard of him, but corporations like PG&amp;E, WalMart, and Waste Management pay him to push for their interests in Sacramento. Muelrath is a corporate lobbyist, pressuring legislators to make laws that benefit his rich clients. However, when election season rolls around, Muelrath changes hats and becomes a \u2018campaign consultant\u2019, which is a polite way of saying that he recruits, funds, and often manages candidates for local office who will vote the way his corporate backers want.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Muelrath has been very successful; 4 of the 5 current members of the county board of supervisors are Muelrath clients, as are many of our city council members. Most are registered Democrats, because that\u2019s generally a prerequisite to getting elected in this county, but they were not chosen for the usual left-right issues. Muelrath and his clients don\u2019t care what they think about abortion, transgender rights, or US foreign policy \u2013 they just want a candidate who will allow big growers to deplete the groundwater supply, or big developers to build more McMansions in a high-fire-risk area.

In contrast to current District 2 Supervisor Rabbit\u2019s accountability issues, Paun is committed to open and accessible meetings with the community in order to bring transparency to local decision-making.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-stackable-accordion stk-block-accordion stk-inner-blocks stk-block-content stk-block stk-83d1485 is-style-default\" data-block-id=\"83d1485\">\n<summary class=\"wp-block-stackable-column stk-block-column stk-column stk-block stk-08a2315 stk--container-small stk-block-accordion__heading\" data-v=\"4\" data-block-id=\"08a2315\"><div class=\"stk-column-wrapper stk-block-column__content stk-container stk-08a2315-container stk-hover-parent\"><div class=\"stk-block-content stk-inner-blocks stk-08a2315-inner-blocks\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-icon-label stk-block-icon-label stk-block stk-72c2468\" data-block-id=\"72c2468\"><div class=\"stk-row stk-inner-blocks stk-block-content\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-heading stk-block-heading stk-block-heading--v2 stk-block stk-176ce1b\" id=\"span-style-color-var-theme-palette-color-2-b-9181-f-class-stk-highlight-opponent-span\" data-block-id=\"176ce1b\"><h4 class=\"stk-block-heading__text\"><span style=\"color: var(--theme-palette-color-2, #B9181F);\" class=\"stk-highlight\">Opponent<\/span><\/h4><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-icon stk-block-icon stk-block stk-c13dc72\" data-block-id=\"c13dc72\"><span class=\"stk--svg-wrapper\"><div class=\"stk--inner-svg\"><svg style=\"height:0;width:0\"><defs><linearGradient id=\"linear-gradient-c13dc72\" x1=\"0\" x2=\"100%\" y1=\"0\" y2=\"0\"><stop offset=\"0%\" style=\"stop-opacity:1;stop-color:var(--linear-gradient-c-13-dc-72-color-1)\"><\/stop><stop offset=\"100%\" style=\"stop-opacity:1;stop-color:var(--linear-gradient-c-13-dc-72-color-2)\"><\/stop><\/linearGradient><\/defs><\/svg><svg data-prefix=\"fas\" data-icon=\"chevron-down\" class=\"svg-inline--fa fa-chevron-down fa-w-14\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 448 512\" aria-hidden=\"true\" width=\"32\" height=\"32\"><path fill=\"currentColor\" d=\"M207.029 381.476L12.686 187.132c-9.373-9.373-9.373-24.569 0-33.941l22.667-22.667c9.357-9.357 24.522-9.375 33.901-.04L224 284.505l154.745-154.021c9.379-9.335 24.544-9.317 33.901.04l22.667 22.667c9.373 9.373 9.373 24.569 0 33.941L240.971 381.476c-9.373 9.372-24.569 9.372-33.942 0z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/div><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/summary>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-column stk-block-column stk-column stk-block stk-f26f7f4 stk-block-accordion__content\" data-v=\"4\" data-block-id=\"f26f7f4\"><div class=\"stk-column-wrapper stk-block-column__content stk-container stk-f26f7f4-container stk--no-background stk--no-padding\"><div class=\"stk-block-content stk-inner-blocks stk-f26f7f4-inner-blocks\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-text stk-block-text stk-block stk-4873620\" data-block-id=\"4873620\"><p class=\"stk-block-text__text\">Opponent Sylvia Lemus entered the race only after being recruited by Rob Muelrath, a political consultant and corporate lobbyist finagling tax breaks and labor loopholes for corporations such as Walmart, Dutra, and PG&amp;E.

He has led climate-first city programs like free public transit and the new Petaluma SMART train station. He\u2019s endorsed by the AFL-CIO and local progressives, such as Damon Connolly and Brian Barnacle.<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In contrast, his challengers, Shelina Moreda (who pivoted to running for mayor after losing in the primary for county supervisor) and business owner John Hanania, have campaigns full of imprecise goals and obfuscatory language. Hanania has previously led an ill-articulated attempt to recall city councilmember Janice Cader Thompson, described by some as outright <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pressdemocrat.com\/2025\/12\/19\/signature-gathering-effort-to-recall-petaluma-council-member-falls-short\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.pressdemocrat.com\/2025\/12\/19\/signature-gathering-effort-to-recall-petaluma-council-member-falls-short\/\">harassment<\/a>. Moreda comes from a family business and simply has too many incidents counting against her character: in 2025 she faced a temporary domestic violence restraining order; during her campaign for supervisor, she perplexingly lied about her age, and her actual residential status in Petaluma has been questioned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">McDonnell is doing a good job of implementing generally progressive policies in Petaluma, but is not a democratic socialist.

She does, however, have an odd assortment of endorsements; she\u2019s endorsed by DSA candidate Joanna Paun and also by the Petaluma Police Department. Her opponents are Alan LaPierre and Nate Martin. Martin does not appear to have a website with any clearly defined goals. LaPierre\u2019s issues as listed on his website lack the district specifics that Cader Thompson clearly defines. We recommend Cader Thompson, as her advocacy for mobile home park residents facing eviction in the district is important for tenants\u2019 rights in Sonoma County and California more broadly.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Member, City Council, City of Petaluma, District 2<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-stackable-accordion stk-block-accordion stk-inner-blocks stk-block-content stk-block stk-c184408 is-style-default\" data-block-id=\"c184408\">\n<summary class=\"wp-block-stackable-column stk-block-column stk-column stk-block stk-ce77898 stk--container-small stk-block-accordion__heading\" data-v=\"4\" data-block-id=\"ce77898\"><div class=\"stk-column-wrapper stk-block-column__content stk-container stk-ce77898-container stk-hover-parent\"><div class=\"stk-block-content stk-inner-blocks stk-ce77898-inner-blocks\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-icon-label stk-block-icon-label stk-block stk-b2181c8\" data-block-id=\"b2181c8\"><div class=\"stk-row stk-inner-blocks stk-block-content\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-heading stk-block-heading stk-block-heading--v2 stk-block stk-4ca8f04\" id=\"span-style-color-var-theme-palette-color-5-ef-676-c-class-stk-highlight-no-recommendation-span\" data-block-id=\"4ca8f04\"><h4 class=\"stk-block-heading__text\"><span style=\"color: var(--theme-palette-color-5, #EF676C);\" class=\"stk-highlight\">No Recommendation<\/span><\/h4><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-icon stk-block-icon stk-block stk-4bb8959\" data-block-id=\"4bb8959\"><span class=\"stk--svg-wrapper\"><div class=\"stk--inner-svg\"><svg style=\"height:0;width:0\"><defs><linearGradient id=\"linear-gradient-4bb8959\" x1=\"0\" x2=\"100%\" y1=\"0\" y2=\"0\"><stop offset=\"0%\" style=\"stop-opacity:1;stop-color:var(--linear-gradient-4-bb-8959-color-1)\"><\/stop><stop offset=\"100%\" style=\"stop-opacity:1;stop-color:var(--linear-gradient-4-bb-8959-color-2)\"><\/stop><\/linearGradient><\/defs><\/svg><svg data-prefix=\"fas\" data-icon=\"chevron-down\" class=\"svg-inline--fa fa-chevron-down fa-w-14\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 448 512\" aria-hidden=\"true\" width=\"32\" height=\"32\"><path fill=\"currentColor\" d=\"M207.029 381.476L12.686 187.132c-9.373-9.373-9.373-24.569 0-33.941l22.667-22.667c9.357-9.357 24.522-9.375 33.901-.04L224 284.505l154.745-154.021c9.379-9.335 24.544-9.317 33.901.04l22.667 22.667c9.373 9.373 9.373 24.569 0 33.941L240.971 381.476c-9.373 9.372-24.569 9.372-33.942 0z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/div><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/summary>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-column stk-block-column stk-column stk-block stk-5e43a33 stk-block-accordion__content\" data-v=\"4\" data-block-id=\"5e43a33\"><div class=\"stk-column-wrapper stk-block-column__content stk-container stk-5e43a33-container stk--no-background stk--no-padding\"><div class=\"stk-block-content stk-inner-blocks stk-5e43a33-inner-blocks\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-text stk-block-text stk-block stk-02683ad\" data-block-id=\"02683ad\"><p class=\"stk-block-text__text\">Incumbent John Shribbs has well-defined conservation and sustainability-focused campaign priorities.

While we recognize sales taxes are regressive, impacting lower income residents more, we must fund collective services that improve safety in Santa Rosa.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>M, Harmony Union School District<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-stackable-accordion stk-block-accordion stk-inner-blocks stk-block-content stk-block stk-b68ac26 is-style-default\" data-block-id=\"b68ac26\">\n<summary class=\"wp-block-stackable-column stk-block-column stk-column stk-block stk-f288b89 stk--container-small stk-block-accordion__heading\" data-v=\"4\" data-block-id=\"f288b89\"><div class=\"stk-column-wrapper stk-block-column__content stk-container stk-f288b89-container stk-hover-parent\"><div class=\"stk-block-content stk-inner-blocks stk-f288b89-inner-blocks\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-icon-label stk-block-icon-label stk-block stk-46360d9\" data-block-id=\"46360d9\"><div class=\"stk-row stk-inner-blocks stk-block-content\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-heading stk-block-heading stk-block-heading--v2 stk-block stk-fe31032\" id=\"span-style-color-00-bd-78-class-stk-highlight-recommended-yes-\u2705-span\" data-block-id=\"fe31032\"><h4 class=\"stk-block-heading__text\"><span style=\"color: #00bd78;\" class=\"stk-highlight\">Recommended: Yes \u2705<\/span><\/h4><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-icon stk-block-icon stk-block stk-a8c0923\" data-block-id=\"a8c0923\"><span class=\"stk--svg-wrapper\"><div class=\"stk--inner-svg\"><svg style=\"height:0;width:0\"><defs><linearGradient id=\"linear-gradient-a8c0923\" x1=\"0\" x2=\"100%\" y1=\"0\" y2=\"0\"><stop offset=\"0%\" style=\"stop-opacity:1;stop-color:var(--linear-gradient-a-8-c-0923-color-1)\"><\/stop><stop offset=\"100%\" style=\"stop-opacity:1;stop-color:var(--linear-gradient-a-8-c-0923-color-2)\"><\/stop><\/linearGradient><\/defs><\/svg><svg data-prefix=\"fas\" data-icon=\"chevron-down\" class=\"svg-inline--fa fa-chevron-down fa-w-14\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 448 512\" aria-hidden=\"true\" width=\"32\" height=\"32\"><path fill=\"currentColor\" d=\"M207.029 381.476L12.686 187.132c-9.373-9.373-9.373-24.569 0-33.941l22.667-22.667c9.357-9.357 24.522-9.375 33.901-.04L224 284.505l154.745-154.021c9.379-9.335 24.544-9.317 33.901.04l22.667 22.667c9.373 9.373 9.373 24.569 0 33.941L240.971 381.476c-9.373 9.372-24.569 9.372-33.942 0z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/div><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/summary>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-column stk-block-column stk-column stk-block stk-212b48e stk-block-accordion__content\" data-v=\"4\" data-block-id=\"212b48e\"><div class=\"stk-column-wrapper stk-block-column__content stk-container stk-212b48e-container stk--no-background stk--no-padding\"><div class=\"stk-block-content stk-inner-blocks stk-212b48e-inner-blocks\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-text stk-block-text stk-block stk-909bf80\" data-block-id=\"909bf80\"><p class=\"stk-block-text__text\">Measure M would institute a fixed parcel tax of $75 per year for four years, raising an estimated $177,600 a year to support programs in the Harmony Union School District. The programs include the Garden Enrichment Program, mental health services, and academic intervention services, currently constrained by lack of sufficient funding. The Garden Enrichment Program is a farm-to-table program including a production farm whose harvest supplies school meals. Mental health services provide short-term and ongoing support for students. Academic services include intervention teachers and paraeducator staff, reading groups, and 1:1 tutoring. Pandemic-era state and federal funding ended in 2024 while demand for services has remained high, and over $300,000 has been cut from these three programs in the last few years. As a special tax, the funds are legally dedicated to those programs and to local students, and parcel owners 65 and older have an exemption option.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>N, Schell-Vista Fire Protection District<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-stackable-accordion stk-block-accordion stk-inner-blocks stk-block-content stk-block stk-b1ddaf8 is-style-default\" data-block-id=\"b1ddaf8\">\n<summary class=\"wp-block-stackable-column stk-block-column stk-column stk-block stk-166d4cb stk--container-small stk-block-accordion__heading\" data-v=\"4\" data-block-id=\"166d4cb\"><div class=\"stk-column-wrapper stk-block-column__content stk-container stk-166d4cb-container stk-hover-parent\"><div class=\"stk-block-content stk-inner-blocks stk-166d4cb-inner-blocks\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-icon-label stk-block-icon-label stk-block stk-4831438\" data-block-id=\"4831438\"><div class=\"stk-row stk-inner-blocks stk-block-content\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-heading stk-block-heading stk-block-heading--v2 stk-block stk-4f3a5b2\" id=\"span-style-color-00-bd-78-class-stk-highlight-recommended-yes-\u2705-span\" data-block-id=\"4f3a5b2\"><h4 class=\"stk-block-heading__text\"><span style=\"color: #00bd78;\" class=\"stk-highlight\">Recommended: Yes \u2705<\/span><\/h4><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-icon stk-block-icon stk-block stk-cc348ac\" data-block-id=\"cc348ac\"><span class=\"stk--svg-wrapper\"><div class=\"stk--inner-svg\"><svg style=\"height:0;width:0\"><defs><linearGradient id=\"linear-gradient-cc348ac\" x1=\"0\" x2=\"100%\" y1=\"0\" y2=\"0\"><stop offset=\"0%\" style=\"stop-opacity:1;stop-color:var(--linear-gradient-cc-348-ac-color-1)\"><\/stop><stop offset=\"100%\" style=\"stop-opacity:1;stop-color:var(--linear-gradient-cc-348-ac-color-2)\"><\/stop><\/linearGradient><\/defs><\/svg><svg data-prefix=\"fas\" data-icon=\"chevron-down\" class=\"svg-inline--fa fa-chevron-down fa-w-14\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 448 512\" aria-hidden=\"true\" width=\"32\" height=\"32\"><path fill=\"currentColor\" d=\"M207.029 381.476L12.686 187.132c-9.373-9.373-9.373-24.569 0-33.941l22.667-22.667c9.357-9.357 24.522-9.375 33.901-.04L224 284.505l154.745-154.021c9.379-9.335 24.544-9.317 33.901.04l22.667 22.667c9.373 9.373 9.373 24.569 0 33.941L240.971 381.476c-9.373 9.372-24.569 9.372-33.942 0z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/div><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/summary>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-column stk-block-column stk-column stk-block stk-46f7d80 stk-block-accordion__content\" data-v=\"4\" data-block-id=\"46f7d80\"><div class=\"stk-column-wrapper stk-block-column__content stk-container stk-46f7d80-container stk--no-background stk--no-padding\"><div class=\"stk-block-content stk-inner-blocks stk-46f7d80-inner-blocks\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-text stk-block-text stk-block stk-023fc0d\" data-block-id=\"023fc0d\"><p class=\"stk-block-text__text\">Measure N would retain the Schell-Vista Fire Protection District&#8217;s increased spending limit, letting the district keep spending the proceeds of a special tax voters previously approved.
