She received 75 votes, all of which were in San Diego County.

Local Non-partisan Offices

The webmaster is not aware of any endorsements by the San Diego County Peace and Freedom Party organization of any candidates for local non-partisan offices which were voted on in the June 6th primary election.

Peace and Freedom Party Central Committees

No members of the Peace and Freedom Party Central Committees were elected from San Diego County in 2004, and the webmaster is not aware of any candidates only for Central Committees from the county who ran in the June 2006 primary election. However, Mary Lou Finley (1st Supervisorial District), Miriam Clark (3rd Supervisorial District), and Janice Jordan (4th Supervisorial District) became members of the Central Committees when they were nominated for Board of Equalization, Congress and Governor, respectively.

Local Measures

The webmaster is not aware of any positions taken by the San Diego County Peace and Freedom Party organization on any county, municipal or regional measures that were on the ballot June 6th in San Diego County.

Regional Candidate

Mary Lou Finley is running for Board of Equalization in the 3rd Board of Equalization District, which includes all of San Diego County. She received 302 votes in San Diego County, of 803 in the entire district.

Statewide Candidates

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

  • Governor: Janice Jordan (3,849 statewide, 276 in San Diego County)
  • Lieutenant Governor: Stewart Alexander (3,549 statewide, 274 in San Diego County)
  • Secretary of State: Margie Akin (3,929 statewide, 284 in San Diego County)
  • Treasurer: Gerald Sanders (3,681 statewide, 278 in San Diego 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 San Diego County, she got 66,965 votes (18.7%).

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 San Diego County, the vote was 216,346 (45.8%) to 255,731 (54.2%).
  • 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 San Diego County, the vote was 167,940 (34.9%) to 312,607 (65.1%).
