U.S. REPRESENAIVE, 6 H DISRIC REPRESENANE DE LOS ESADOS UNIDOS, DISRIO 6 LYNN C. WOOLSEY DEMOCRAIC LYNN C. WOOLSEY DEMÓCRAA Running for my 10 th term in Congress, I have compiled a record of progressive leadership and accomplishment for the people of Marin and Sonoma Counties. Having lived in the North Bay for more than 40 years, I have deep roots in our community. Your values are my values. As Co-Chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, I fight for those values every day, even if it means going against the grain or rocking the boat. With your support as the wind at my back, I was the first Member to demand that we bring our troops home from Iraq, a critical step in turning public opinion against the war. With the same conviction, I am fighting for peace in Afghanistan and a smarter national security policy. I have no greater priority than making sure children, seniors and working families have the support needed to lead prosperous lives in a peaceful world. hat is why I have led the charge for universal health care that includes a public option. hat is what drives me to ensure good schools, a clean environment and comfortable retirement for my constituents. I want to continue using my influence as a senior member of the majority to advance the interests of the Sixth District. But that is up to you. You are my employers. My performance evaluation comes every two years in November; I ask you, my neighbors, to support me in my bid for a tenth term. Aspirando a mi décimo término en el Congreso, he acumulado un historial de dirección progresiva y de logros para el pueblo de los condados de Marín y Sonoma. Por haber vivido en el norte de la Bahía, por más de 40 años, tengo profundas raíces en nuestra comunidad. Los valores de ustedes son mis valores. Como co-directora del Comité Progresivo Congresional, lucho por esos valores todos los días, aun si significa ir contra la corriente o hacer olas. Con su apoyo como viento en popa, fui la primera entre los miembros que exigió que trajéramos las tropas de Iraq a casa, un paso crítico en volcar la opinión pública contra la guerra. Con la misma convicción, estoy luchando por la paz en Afganistán y por una política de seguridad nacional más inteligente. No tengo una prioridad más importante que asegurarme de que los niños, los ancianos y las familias que trabajan tengan el apoyo necesario para llevar vidas prósperas en un mundo pacífico. Por eso he encabezado la iniciativa para un cuidado de la salud universal que incluya una opción para el público. Eso es lo que me impulsa a garantizar buenas escuelas, un medio ambiente limpio y una jubilación cómoda para mis conciudadanos. Deseo seguir usando mi influencia como miembro de alto rango de la mayoría para adelantar los intereses del Distrito sexto. Pero eso depende de ustedes. Ustedes son mis jefes. La evaluación de mi desempeño se realiza cada dos años en noviembre; le pido, mis vecinos, que me apoyen en mi intento para un décimo término. U.S. REPRESENAIVE, 6 H DISRIC REPRESENANE DE LOS ESADOS UNIDOS, DISRIO 6 JIM JUDD REPUBLICAN JIM JUDD REPUBLICANO My personal and professional life experiences make me uniquely qualified to respond effectively to the critical challenges facing the American public challenges that must be overcome in order for our nation to prosper. Having raised a family and become a grandfather, I ve witnessed firsthand the joy of one son-in-law becoming a naturalized U.S. citizen and also the personal family sacrifices associated with my second son-in-law s deployment to Afghanistan as an active member of the U.S. armed forces. Being married to a diabetic and having personally cared for a loved one dying of cancer, I feel and understand your concerns about the costs of medical coverage. As a business owner for 27 years, I comprehend balanced budgets and how government taxes and regulations must be limited in order to sustain economic growth and job creation. America needs to create new jobs for the 21st century with commitments of integrity from both public and private sector leaders. o do this, the government must facilitate creating an environment that revitalizes the entrepreneurial spirit by encouraging new visions in energies, biotechnologies, engineering, and manufacturing. ogether, let s make history. I share your values on personal sacrifice and self-worth, and like you, I understand the human spirit s influence in our daily lives. his is why I m asking for your vote. By sending me to Washington we can make your vote count a vote not owned by lobbyists, corporations, or union leaders, but one that represents what matters most to people like you and me. Information, Mi expediente personal y profesional en la vida me califican singularmente para responder eficazmente a los desafíos esenciales que el pueblo norteamericano tiene que enfrentar desafíos que deben ser superados para que nuestra nación pueda prosperar. Debido a que he criado una familia y que soy abuelo, he presenciado directamente la alegría de un yerno que se hizo ciudadano naturalizado de los Estados Unidos y también los sacrificios personales familiares cuando mi segundo yerno fue desplegado en Afganistán como elemento activo de las fuerzas armadas de los Estados Unidos. Como soy casado con una persona diabética y como he cuidado personalmente de un ser querido que se moría de cáncer, siento y entiendo los motivos de preocupación de usted por los costos de la cobertura médica. Como dueño de un negocio por 27 años, yo entiendo qué es un presupuesto reconciliado y cómo se tienen que restringir los impuestos y reglamentos gubernamentales para poder sostener un crecimiento económico y generar empleos. Los Estados Unidos tienen que crear nuevos empleos para el siglo XXI mediante compromisos de integridad de los dirigentes de los sectores público y privado. Para hacer eso, el gobierno tiene que facilitar un entorno que estimule nuevas visiones en energéticos, biotecnologías, ingeniería y manufactura para revitalizar el espíritu emprendedor. Juntos, hagamos historia. Comparto sus valores de sacrificio personal y de auto-estima, y como usted, entiendo la influencia del espíritu humano en nuestra vida cotidiana. Por eso le pido su voto. Si me envía a Washington podemos hacer que su voto cuente un voto que no sea propiedad de los cabilderos, corporaciones ni líderes sindicales, sino uno que represente lo que más le importa al pueblo como usted y yo.

Each statement is volunteered by, and (unless otherwise determined by the governing body) is printed at the expense of, the candidate. U.S. REPRESENAIVE, 6 H DISRIC JOEL R. SMOLEN LIBERARIAN I have had a 40 year career, as a successful business entrepreneur. I have formed three successful technology businesses, creating hundreds of jobs for the people of California. Libertarians are the Party of Principle, socially tolerant and fiscally conservative. I, and the Libertarian Party, offer the voters an opportunity for a new beginning. We are the champions of the Constitution and the Republic, as envisioned by the Founding Fathers. We are advocates for personal choice, peace and individual freedom. I am committed to a policy of nonintervention, balanced budgets, deficit reduction, free trade and full transparency, for both government and business. I support job creation through innovation and free enterprise, not by government expansion. I will work to reduce government size, and unleash the can-do spirit, that has made America great. I will fight to recast our failing health care and educational system, making them work, for all of us. As a representative of the people, I will work to return the country to its citizens, breaking the grip of lobbyists and the deep-pockets of special interest groups. I am an Army veteran, committed to bringing our troops home now, from Afghanistan and Iraq, and to a policy of nonintervention in the future. I am dedicated to protecting individual freedoms, personal privacy, and to significantly reduce the size and scope of government; along with lower taxes for Calfornians and all Americans. I stand for true, meaningful, and signficant change for the citizens of Marin and Sonoma Counties. Smolenforcongress.com Sonoma County

MEMBER OF HE SAE ASSEMBLY, 6 H DISRIC MEMBER OF HE SAE ASSEMBLY, 6 H DISRIC JARED HUFFMAN DEMOCRAIC BOB SEPHENS REPUBLICAN When you elected me four years ago, I promised to bring strong, effective leadership to Sacramento. I ve kept that promise. Despite Sacramento s dysfunction and gridlock, I m getting things done. I ve written new laws that are creating jobs; contributing to economic recovery; protecting our environment; increasing energy independence; protecting children from toxic chemicals; and ensuring vital funding for hospitals and emergency rooms. I played a leading role in passing a historic, bipartisan package of water reforms to restore the dying Delta ecosystem, promote conservation, and improve water management throughout California. Before the horrendous BP oil spill, I wrote new laws to help prevent oil spills in California and require oil companies to pay cleanup costs. I m defending California s policies to promote renewable energy and reduce global warming pollution. Our environmental leadership is providing a bright spot in a struggling economy: clean technology businesses are attracting billions in venture funding and green jobs are growing 10 times faster than the statewide average. We must expand, not abandon, these successful policies. Huge challenges and opportunities lie ahead. he worst fiscal crisis since the Great Depression is not yet over, and right-wing ideologues will keep exploiting it to leverage their agenda: to cripple public education, weaken environmental protections, and dismantle the social safety net. I ll do more than just oppose these efforts; I ll fight for fair and honest budget solutions that reflect our values. ogether, we can put California back to work and back on track. I respectfully ask for your vote. I m a businessman, not an incumbent politician surrounded by lobbyists. As a 40 year Marin resident, my only agenda is to represent the best interests of the people of the north bay. My 30 years in the investment and television industries, including 23 years at KVU television, created a successful record of setting goals and solving problems. he California legislature is broken and this directly affects you. he political incumbents are simply watching the destruction. he voters are demanding and deserve change. he incumbent politicians blame each other when the real problem is their own inability to work together. I will represent you with a new attitude of cooperation. Businesses are leaving California every day. We can t compete anymore. Overregulation at all levels of government is crippling them. Higher business taxes don t create jobs, they kill jobs. I will move to lower taxes and reduce smothering regulations. he state pension system is a disaster. Government created these obligations but the pensions have now grown out of control. A new pension system must be developed that is sustainable, equitable and strike a balance between pension commitments. his is my top priority. he education system needs to place more power into the hands of the teachers. he students need to succeed through the classroom. A new testing system should be used to show greater student productivity. Your choice is clear. Vote for another two years of failure or vote for a change of direction toward a reasonable, balanced government. bobstephensforassembly.com Sonoma County

COUNY OF SONOMA MEASURE N N Shall the Sonoma County Civil Service Ordinance be amended to provide that the director of human resources be appointed by the Board of Supervisors and to add the director of human resources to the list of unclassified employees? COUNY COUNSEL S IMPARIAL ANALYSIS OF MEASURE N he County of Sonoma has a civil service ordinance which was adopted in 1950 by initiative. he ordinance provides for a Civil Service Commission, which establishes rules to implement the purposes of the ordinance. he civil service rules set out procedures that must be followed in the event of employee discipline or layoffs to protect employees in the classified service. Changes to the ordinance require voter approval, unless the ordinance specifically permits such changes without voter approval. For example, in 1994 the ordinance was amended by the voters to allow the Board of Supervisors to change the status of appointed department heads from classified (subject to civil service protection) to unclassified (not subject to civil service protection). As currently written, the ordinance provides that the director of personnel must be appointed by the Civil Service Commission, and specifically provides that the director of personnel shall be in the classified (protected) service. he amendment would change the appointing authority from the Civil Service Commission to the Board of Supervisors, and would change the position from classified to unclassified, consistent with the status of other county department heads. he amendment would also change all references to the director of personnel to the director of human resources, since the personnel department has been renamed the department of human resources. If a majority of the voters voting on this measure vote yes, the measure will be adopted. Otherwise, the measure will fail and the ordinance will remain unchanged. SEVEN WOODSIDE County Counsel By: s/ Kathleen Larocque Deputy County Counsel COUNY AUDIOR S FISCAL IMPAC SAEMEN MEASURE N Revenues and Expenditures his measure would have no effect on revenues and expenditures of the County. In accordance with the Election Code, the scope of this fiscal impact analysis has been limited to the measure s effect on revenues and expenditures. It does not address larger countywide fiscal issues such as the measure s effect on the overall County economy. s/ Rod Dole Sonoma County Auditor-Controller-reasurer-ax Collector ARGUMEN IN FAVOR OF MEASURE N Measure N updates the County Civil Ordinance adopted in 1950 to give the Board of Supervisors the ability to directly appoint the Human Resources Director. he Director of Human Resources is the only department head not appointed by authority of the Board of Supervisors except for elected department heads. his means the person with the responsibility for labor negotiations, employee benefits, and training and development of the County s more than 3,800 full time equivalent employees is not directly accountable to the Board of Supervisors. Measure N will align the County s personnel system with a proven practice that is already in use throughout the state. A practice where the Board of Supervisors appoints and holds accountable the Human Resources Director. In these difficult financial times, we all understand the need for efficient, effective, and accountable government. Measure N improves accountability by ensuring a key member of the management team is answerable to the Board. As your elected representatives, this ability will bolster our management of the County organization to deliver a wide variety of public services through a dedicated and talented workforce. We respectfully request your support for Measure N.
