Hi all, here are my ballot recommendations for the March 3 California Primary:

President - Elizabeth Warren. She is tough, smart, capable and can mix it up with the best of them. She’s from Oklahoma and understands red states, and has a great deal of experience understanding the challenges our current financial system places on most people. Her top priority is rooting out corruption - without this, no reforms can follow. If you like her like I do - then don’t count her out - VOTE FOR HER!!!!

LA City Council - Paul Krekorian.

LAUSD District 3 Board Member - Elizabeth Bartels Badger. LAUSD board needs to be shaken up.

Member of the State Assembly 46th district - Adrin Nazarian.

US Congressional Representative - 30th District - Brad Sherman.

LA District Attoreney - George Gascón. Jackie Lacey supports the death penalty; Gascón and Rossi do not. I’m voting for Gascón; he supports legislation tightening rules on when officers can use deadly force.

Judges - I follow the Pacific Palisades Democratic Club’s endorsements, which you can find at www.palisadesdemclub.org.

Member, County Central Commitee, 46th Assembly District: No endorsement

County Measure R - YES; strengthens civilian oversight of the Sherriff’s department and focus on improving psychiatric care in jail.

Proposition 13 - NO. Much as I hate to vote NO on this one, this bond measure does two bad things: 1) cuts developer fees which schools rely on for funding and 2) Money spent as part of this measure can ONLY go to unions. I like unions and support them, but forced, uncompetitive contracting seems like a bad idea.
