Regional Candidates

There are Peace and Freedom Party candidates in all three of the Board of Equalization districts within Los Angeles County.

She received 19 votes in Los Angeles County, of 803 in the entire district.

Cindy Varela Henderson is running for Board of Equalization in the 4th Board of Equalization District, which is entirely within Los Angeles County, consisting of roughly its southern third with most of its population (more specifically, Santa Catalina Island, most of the cities of Los Angeles and Long Beach, as well as all of Burbank, Glendale, Glendora, Pasadena, Santa Monica and the other adjacent cities not listed above as in the 2nd or 3rd Districts). She received 740 votes, all of which were in Los Angeles County.

Statewide Candidates

The slate of Peace and Freedom Party candidates for statewide partisan public offices are:

  • Governor: Janice Jordan (3,849 statewide, 837 in Los Angeles County)
  • Lieutenant Governor: Stewart Alexander (3,549 statewide, 666 in Los Angeles County)
  • Secretary of State: Margie Akin (3,929 statewide, 817 in Los Angeles County)

The Peace and Freedom Party also recommended a vote for Sarah Knopp for Superintendent of Public Instruction. She is a teacher and a socialist, though not a P&F member, who came in second of five candidates with 695,372 votes (17.3%) statewide for this nominally non-partisan position. In Los Angeles County, she got 144,944 votes (19.0%).

Statewide Measures

There were two propositions on the statewide ballot June 6th, assigned proposition numbers 81 and 82. At its April 1st-2nd State Central Committee meeting, the Peace and Freedom Party took a position on one of measures.

  • Proposition 81 (the voter pamphlet's summary, analysis, arguments for and rebuttal, arguments against and rebuttal, and the full text are available as PDFs): "California Reading and Literacy Improvement and Public Library Construction and Renovation Bond Act of 2006." This measure would have issued $600 million of bonds to renovate existing library buildings and build new libraries. Because we are generally opposed to bond measures, but in favor of building more libraries, the Peace and Freedom Party neither supported nor opposed Proposition 81. The bonds were defeated by a statewide vote of 2,326,305 (47.3%) to 2,590,954 (52.7%). In Los Angeles County, the vote was 494,691 (52.9%) to 441,486 (47.1%).
  • Proposition 82 (the voter pamphlet's summary, analysis, arguments for and rebuttal, arguments against and rebuttal, and the full text are available as PDFs): "Preschool Education. Tax on Incomes Over $400,000 for Individuals; $800,000 for Couples. Initiative Constitutional Amendment and Statute." This measure would have raised the income tax on the rich by 1.7% and used the money raised to fund universal preschool programs for four-year olds. The Peace and Freedom Party urged that you vote YES on 82. The measure was defeated by a statewide vote of 1,958,200 (39.2%) to 3,036,217 (60.8%). In Los Angeles County, the vote was 425,026 (44.3%) to 533,992 (55.7%).
