4 The Top Two Candidates Open Primary Act, which took effect January 1, 2011, requires that all candidates for a voter-nominated office be listed on the same ballot. Voter-nominated offices are state legislative offices, U.S. congressional offices, and state constitutional offices. In both the open primary and general elections, you can vote for any candidate, regardless of what party preference you indicated on your voter registration form. In the primary election, the two candidates receiving the most votes regardless of party preference move on to the general election regardless of vote totals. If a candidate receives a majority of the vote (50 percent + 1), a general election still must be held. Even if there are only two candidates for an office in the open primary, a general election for that office is still required. California s open primary system does not apply to candidates running for local offices. California law requires that the following information be printed in this pamphlet. Voter-Nominated Offices Political parties are not entitled to formally nominate candidates for voter-nominated offices at the primary election. A candidate nominated for a voter-nominated office at the primary election is the nominee of the people and not the official nominee of any party at the general election. A candidate for nomination to a voter-nominated office shall have his or her party preference, or lack of party preference, stated on the ballot, but the party preference designation is selected solely by the candidate and is shown for the information of the voters only. It does not mean the candidate is nominated or endorsed by the party designated, or that there is an affiliation between the party and candidate, and no candidate nominated by the voters shall be deemed to be the officially nominated candidate of any political party. In the county sample ballot booklet, parties may list the candidates for voter-nominated offices who have received the party s official endorsement. Any voter may vote for any candidate for a voter-nominated office, if they meet the other qualifications required to vote for that office. The top two vote-getters at the primary election move on to the general election for the voter-nominated office even if both candidates have specified the same party preference designation. No party is entitled to have a candidate with its party preference designation move on to the general election, unless the candidate is one of the two highest vote-getters at the primary election. Nonpartisan State Offices Political parties are not entitled to nominate candidates for nonpartisan offices at the primary election, and a candidate at the primary election is not the official nominee of any party for the specific office at the general election. A candidate for nomination to a nonpartisan office may not designate his or her party preference, or lack of party preference, on the ballot. The top two vote-getters at the primary election move on to the general election for the nonpartisan office. Redistricting New electoral district boundaries are drawn every 10 years in order to equalize district populations. Boundaries for the congressional, state legislative, and county supervisorial districts are now different. Boundary changes also apply to any city, school district, or special district that votes by trustee areas or divisions. To see the new district maps, visit the Registrar of Voters website at RV

13 Candidate Statement for united states representative, 36th congressional District Brian nestande, Republican age: 50 Occupation: State Assemblyman / Businessman Congress isn t getting anything done, and the current Congress is one of history s worst. In Congress, I ll work to: Immediately secure the border as the FIRST step in immigration reform STOP the overspending and pass a balanced budget amendment Hold Congress accountable - no balanced budget = no paycheck Create policies that encourage businesses to expand so we have high quality good paying jobs Middle class families cannot afford another do-nothing Congress. In the last two years, Congress sent America another $2 trillion deeper into debt - an amount equal to an additional $9,000 of debt per U.S. taxpayer. At the same time, the cost of healthcare under Obamacare has risen by as much as fifty percent, and millions of seniors have seen their Medicare benefits reduced. Worker wages have remained stagnant, and more businesses are moving off-shore as Congress debates adding even higher taxes and more regulations. My wife Gina and I are raising our family and we know first-hand how difficult Washington is making it for middle class families to get ahead. I ll make sure the priorities of seniors and middle-class families are put into action, and that s the difference. That s why I ve been endorsed by most of the local elected leaders in our District - people who understand how difficult it s been to have a voice in Congress. I would be honored to have your vote.

14 Candidate Statement for state SenaTor, 28th Senatorial District Jeff Stone, Republican Occupation: Riverside County Supervisor / Small Business Owner As a Riverside County Supervisor and longtime small business owner, I m proud to be running for the Senate with the support of local taxpayers, seniors, veterans, small business owners and over 45 city council members and elected officials from the Coachella Valley and Riverside County. Councilman Glenn Miller, who ran a strong campaign in June, has now endorsed me. I m also honored to be the choice of Riverside County Sheriff Stan Sniff and the Riverside Sheriffs Association. Over 3,200 law enforcement officers and investigators in Riverside County endorse me because they know I will OPPOSE EARLY RELEASE of dangerous prisoners and work to keep our neighborhoods, schools and homes safe. I signed the NEW TAXES pledge. As a local official, I successfully lowered taxes without cutting vital services. I ll work to do the same in Sacramento. I strongly oppose the federal government s policy of moving illegal immigrants from the Texas border to Riverside County communities. The Feds need to enforce the law and control the border. My priorities are: JOB CREATION and Improving the Business Climate; No New Taxes, Cut Waste and Balance the Budget. Special interests in Sacramento are spending massive sums of money to influence your vote and defeat me. Ask yourself: do you want a Senator who will be a voice for the special interests; or one who will be a voice for you and Riverside County? I d be honored to receive your vote. Please visit to read more. Thank you. Candidate Statement for state Senator, 28th Senatorial District bonnie garcia, Republican Occupation: Small Business Woman California is broken and in dire need of commonsense solutions. During the six years I served in the Assembly, I kept my promise and refused to support tax increases and reckless spending. My commitment to California s hardworking taxpayers earned me the support of the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association and local elected officials from across the county. A strong workforce is more important than senseless regulations. The California Small Business Association supports me because I created thousands of jobs, expanded opportunities for veterans and secured funding for small businesses. I m from a law enforcement and military family, value freedom and understand personal sacrifice. The California Police Chief s Association and Crime Victims United have endorsed me due to my strong support of public safety and fervent opposition toward the Governor s early release program for hardened criminals. We must focus on issues that directly affect the future of our state and its industries: namely, our dwindling water supply. As your Senator, I will fight to ensure that California s water supply is readily available for those who need it most: families and small businesses that depend on this critical resource to create jobs and sustain our high standard of living. With your support I will continue to use my experience and degree in Workforce Development and Education to promote a broad array of conservative priorities - sound fiscal policies, quality schools, safer communities and protecting the value of every life. Experience and ethics matter. For more information please visit BonnieGarcia.org RV

15 Candidate Statement for Member of the state assembly, 42nd assembly district Chad Mayes, Republican age: 37 Occupation: Chief of Staff The past few months have been some of the most satisfying times of my life in public service. I have become reacquainted with old friends and have had the chance to meet and visit with neighbors from across our district and from all political parties. Together, we ve discussed the issues facing California and shared our hopes for our region. I can say without hesitation that I ve listened and learned from each one of those conversations. Like many, I m frustrated with Sacramento s lack of progress on job creation, better schools, and safe communities - important priorities that have fallen victim to partisan politics. With a servant s heart, I ll work to end partisan bickering in Sacramento. I ll work with both Democrats and Republicans to make government accountable, protect taxpayers by defending Proposition 13, strengthen our economy, and provide the outstanding education our children deserve. With your trust, I m prepared to get the job done. I m honored to have earned the endorsement of Congressman Paul Cook, every Member of the Riverside County Board of Supervisors, the Riverside County Sheriffs Association, CAL FIRE, the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association, and dozens of local elected officials. To be honest, the support that matters most is yours. As you consider whom to support, please know that I would be honored to have your vote. If you have questions about where I stand on the issues, call me at (760) or me at Chad@ChadMayes.com and I ll respond personally. Candidate Statement for Member of the state assembly, 42nd assembly district Karalee Hargrove, Democratic age: 32 Occupation: School Board Trustee California faces challenges. Challenges expose opportunities. My background and experience qualifies me to nurture California s opportunities. As a Morongo Unified School Board Trustee l know that vigorous education is essential to cultivating critical thinking skills and creativity. Creative minds incubate innovative solutions for California s challenges. Every student need not attend college. In addition to math and science, students need opportunities to learn skilled trades, arts, and music. Preschools significantly jump-start good learning skills. Independent and innovative thinking, rather than political stubbornness, fosters representative government. Some things are best solved on a large coordinated scale, others locally.
