It’s October 8th, and all Sonoma County registered voters should have received a vote-by-mail ballot by now. There are a lot of statewide ballot propositions to vote on, as well as the presidential race, a Congressional race, a California legislative race, and two Windsor council races. Windsor residents will also be voting on four county ballot propositions.
Below are the recommendations of the Sonoma County Democratic Party for candidates and county ballot proposition, for those who live in WIndsor:
- President/VP: Joseph Biden and Kamala Harris
- U.S. House of Representatives, district CA02: Jared Huffman
- California State Assembly District 2: Jim Wood
- Mayor, Town of Windsor: no recommendation
- District 3, Town of Windsor: Deb Fudge [voters in Districts 1, 2, and 4 won’t see this race on their ballot]
- Proposition O, 1/4 cent sales tax for mental health: YES
- Proposition P, expanded oversight of the Sheriff’s Department: YES
- Proposition BB: sale of the Healdsburg District Hospital, to the Providence St. Joseph Health system: YES
- Proposition DD: continuation of the 1/4 cent sales tax for county transportation: YES
For statewide ballot measures, the endorsements of the California Democratic Party are here. [Quick summary: YES on everything except Proposition 20 (NO), Proposition 22 (NO), and Proposition 24 (Neutral).]
For those looking for thoughtful evaluations by others, we suggest:
- CalMatters November 2020 election guide (much more useful than the official election guide)
- Courage California’s voter guide (lots of detail)
- League of Women Voters endorsements
- Kevin Drum’s “Short Guide” (endorsements and explanations)
