Adam Schiff of Burbank will face Republican Steve Garvey, a former baseball star, in the November general election to decide who will represent California in the U.S. Senate, after the two men edged out Democratic Reps. Katie Porter of Orange County and Barbara Lee of Oakland.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The matchup, in an overwhelmingly Democratic state where a Republican hasn’t won a statewide contest since 2006, is a huge win for Schiff, who ran ads propping up Garvey in the hopes of avoiding a runoff with another Democrat.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Associated Press called the race just after 9 p.m., an hour after polls closed Tuesday night, with Schiff decisively leading the pack and Garvey in second place, holding a commanding lead over Porter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lee, who raised significantly less money than her opponents and had consistently trailed in the polls, was in a distant fourth place.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is the least surprising outcome of any race I think this year,” said Gil Duran, a journalist and political commentator. “And now, although some of our friends maybe in TV have to pretend like there’s a race this year, it’s pretty much over. We all know that. That’s why Schiff pushed to have Garvey in the race with him. There’s no way a Republican can win.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"more election coverage\" tag=\"election-2024\"]The outcome of Tuesday’s race means that California will not be represented by a female senator for the first time since 1992, when the late Sen. Dianne Feinstein took the seat, which she held \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11946670/dianne-feinstein-californias-longest-serving-us-senator-dies-at-age-90\">until her death last fall\u003c/a>. Her replacement, Sen. Laphonza Butler, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11963066/gov-newsom-names-laphonza-butler-to-dianne-feinsteins-senate-seat\">was appointed by Gov. Gavin Newsom in October\u003c/a>, but chose not to run for a full term.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a quirk of election timing, voters actually weighed in on two questions Tuesday: Who should compete for the full six-year term that begins next January, and who should fill out the final months of Feinstein’s term after the November election.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In both cases, voters chose Garvey and Schiff.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Schiff, a longtime congressman and former federal prosecutor, ran as an establishment Democrat, with endorsements from former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, former U.S. Senator Barbara Boxer and most of California’s Democratic congressional delegation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As chair of the House Intelligence Committee, he made national headlines for \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/donald-trump-ap-top-news-ca-state-wire-adam-schiff-politics-3eec3ea9be5c07a9c297bad439f8f3e8\">leading the first impeachment inquiry\u003c/a> into former President Trump in 2020, and appeared in this race to resonate with the state’s Democratic voters worried about a second Trump term.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Schiff was kicked off the Intelligence Committee when Republicans took control of the House last year and was also censured last summer by the GOP-led Congress. He mentioned both incidents in his victory speech Tuesday night in Los Angeles, where he thanked the political heavyweights who endorsed his Senate campaign, including Pelosi and Boxer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“But tonight, I also find myself thinking a great deal of Sen. Feinstein. Sen. Feinstein who was an incredible giant in the U.S. Senate. Somebody who was not afraid to take on the biggest fights, but somebody who also knew how to get things done,” he told the crowd.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Schiff’s speech was interrupted by protesters chanting “Cease-fire now” — a reminder of the schisms within the Democratic party over the conflict between Israel and Hamas. Schiff has been a staunch supporter of Israel and has rebuffed calls for a cease-fire.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/politico/status/1765265791107117562\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We are so lucky to live in a democracy where we all have the right to protest,” Schiff said, over the shouts of protesters in the audience. “I want to acknowledge the right of our protesters, and I look forward to working with you all.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Garvey, a star first baseman for the Los Angeles Dodgers and San Diego Padres from 1969 to 1987, has never run for office before.

He mentioned both incidents in his victory speech Tuesday night in Los Angeles, where he thanked the political heavyweights who endorsed his Senate campaign, including Pelosi and Boxer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“But tonight, I also find myself thinking a great deal of Sen. Feinstein. Sen. Feinstein who was an incredible giant in the U.S. Senate. Somebody who was not afraid to take on the biggest fights, but somebody who also knew how to get things done,” he told the crowd.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Schiff’s speech was interrupted by protesters chanting “Cease-fire now” — a reminder of the schisms within the Democratic party over the conflict between Israel and Hamas. Schiff has been a staunch supporter of Israel and has rebuffed calls for a cease-fire.\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Ninety-two at-large delegates are allocated in proportion to the statewide vote, as are 55 PLEO delegates, or “party leaders and elected officials.” The state’s 52 congressional districts have a combined 277 delegates at stake, which are allocated in proportion to the vote results in each district.

But Trump has mostly won in Democratic-leaning areas as well as in Republican strongholds, enabling him to win overall by large margins.[aside label=\"More On California Elections\" tag=\"elections\"]Trump won a nonbinding California primary in 2016 with 75% of the vote after he had already clinched the nomination.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For the Democrats, Biden has faced only nominal opposition from Phillips and Williamson and heads into the contest as the overwhelming frontrunner.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In state races, including the Senate primaries, slow vote-counting could delay a call for one or both spots on the November ballot if it’s not clear which candidates will prevail once all votes are tabulated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Associated Press does not make projections and will declare a winner only when it’s determined there is no scenario that would allow the trailing candidates to close the gap. If a race has not been called, the AP will continue to cover any newsworthy developments, such as candidate concessions or declarations of victory. In doing so, the AP will make clear that it has not yet declared a winner and explain why.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>What do turnout and advance vote look like?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Turnout in the 2022 U.S. Senate and gubernatorial primaries was about 32% of registered voters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As of Wednesday, more than 2 million vote had been cast before Election Day, about 50% by Democrats and about 32% by Republicans. In the 2022 gubernatorial primary, pre-Election Day voting made up about 91% of the total vote.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>How long does vote-counting usually take?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>In the 2022 primary election, the AP first reported results at 11:11 p.m. EST, or 11 minutes after polls closed.

Other races on the ballot include primaries for U.S. Senate, U.S. House, state Senate and state House.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Who can vote\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Only registered Republicans may vote in the Republican presidential primary. Registered Democrats and unaffiliated voters may vote in the Democratic presidential primary. All registered voters may vote in the state primaries with a “top-two” ballot format.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Delegate allocation rules\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>There are 424 pledged Democratic delegates at stake in California, and they’re awarded according to the national party’s standard rules. Ninety-two at-large delegates are allocated in proportion to the statewide vote, as are 55 PLEO delegates, or “party leaders and elected officials.” The state’s 52 congressional districts have a combined 277 delegates at stake, which are allocated in proportion to the vote results in each district. Candidates must receive at least 15% of the statewide vote to qualify for any statewide delegates, and 15% of the vote in a congressional district to qualify for delegates in that district.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For Republicans, all 169 delegates are awarded to the candidate who wins a majority of the statewide vote. If no candidate reaches a majority, the 169 delegates are allocated proportionally among the candidates.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Decision notes\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Trump became the dominant figure in the Republican politics since his election in 2016, and his hold on the party continues eight years later. He remains popular among conservative Republicans, and that has translated into success at the ballot box this year, having won all but one of the contests where both he and Haley appeared on the ballot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In this year’s primaries and caucuses, Haley has done best in heavily Democratic areas, which California has plenty to offer. But Trump has mostly won in Democratic-leaning areas as well as in Republican strongholds, enabling him to win overall by large margins.\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

So is the Supreme Court’s role in that process.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here are some takeaways:\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003cstrong>A technical, but still big win\u003c/strong>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The most significant thing the court did Monday was to overturn a Colorado Supreme Court ruling from December that Trump was not eligible to be president because he violated the insurrection clause, Section 3, of the 14th Amendment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=\"news_11975149,news_11973899,news_11977488\" label=\"Related Stories\"]This will also stop efforts to kick him off the ballot in Illinois, Maine and other states. Had the Supreme Court let the Colorado ruling stand, it could have triggered a new wave of litigation that might have left Trump disqualified in many states.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The high court avoided addressing the politically contentious issue of whether Trump played a role in the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol that would have barred him from seeking office. The ruling is almost devoid of references to Jan. 6 or insurrection and doesn’t address whether Trump committed such an act by sparking the attack on the Capitol.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Instead, it focuses on the technical, procedural question of who gets to decide an election challenge under Section 3.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All nine justices agreed that is the purview of Congress. But a narrower majority of five went further, ruling it can only be done through legislation. That exposes significant splits underneath the unanimous majority and points toward the greatest uncertainty the ruling creates.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>A time bomb for Jan. 6, 2025?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>One possible outcome that the case presented was the prospect of unelected judges disqualifying the man dominating who has already received hundreds of thousands of votes in the nominating process.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But another potential nightmare is that if Congress is the only entity that can determine whether a presidential hopeful is indeed disqualified for engaging in “insurrection,” it makes that determination on Jan. 6, 2025, when required to certify a possible Trump victory in the presidential election.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The high court shut down the first possibility but may have left the door open to the second one. The five-justice majority — all from the court’s conservative wing — said Congress can implement Section 3 through legislation, “subject of course to judicial review.” (That means the court reserves for itself the right to have the final say.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That triggered a dissent from the court’s three liberals, who complained that that “shuts the door on other potential means of federal enforcement.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That would appear to include a rejection of Trump’s electors should he win the election — but multiple legal experts said Monday that it wasn’t that clear, and the only way to know may be for Congress to try.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Feeling the heat\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The 14th Amendment case is one of two, putting the high court squarely amid the ongoing presidential election. Last week, the court agreed to hear Trump’s appeal of a federal ruling that he’s not entitled to immunity from criminal charges for his attempt to overturn the 2020 election.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump’s trial on those charges was originally scheduled to begin Monday but has been postponed because of the battle over his immunity challenge. The high court taking up his appeal in late April raises the possibility that the trial won’t conclude until after the presidential election.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The justices’ discomfort over being put in the middle of the nation’s partisan divide came through in a brief but notable concurring opinion by Justice Amy Coney Barrett.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Though one of the court’s conservatives, she disagreed with the majority’s ruling that Congress can only enforce Section 3 through legislation. But she didn’t want to sign onto the liberals’ dissent, either; instead, she warned against focusing too much on partisan divisions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“… this is not the time to amplify disagreement with stridency,” Barrett wrote. “The Court has settled a politically charged issue in the volatile season of a Presidential election. Particularly in this circumstance, writings on the Court should turn the national temperature down, not up.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“For present purposes, our differences are far less important than our unanimity: All nine Justices agree on the outcome of this case,” she concluded. “That is the message Americans should take home.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Action in the states\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The court’s ruling shuts off using Section 3 against federal officials absent action by Congress, but it leaves open the ability of states to use the provision against their own state officials, noting there’s a rich record after the Civil War of just those sorts of actions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s already begun anew in the post-Jan. 6 era. The first disqualification under Section 3 in more than a century came in 2022, when a New Mexico court removed Couy Griffin, who was convicted of entering the Capitol grounds on Jan. 6 while leading a group called “Cowboys for Trump,” from his rural county commission.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The group that brought that case, Citizens for Ethics and Responsibility in Washington, next filed the Colorado case against Trump. They said they were eager to continue filing Section 3 cases against lower-level Jan. 6 participants.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Trump’s legal travails ahead\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Few observers expected the Supreme Court to keep Trump off the ballot. But he’s facing a far more perilous legal road ahead.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The first of Trump’s criminal trials for allegedly falsifying business records to pay hush money to an adult film actress during the 2016 presidential campaign is scheduled to start in New York later this month. The former president is also appealing a New York judge’s ruling that he pay $355 million for fraud committed by his businesses and verdict that he pay a writer $83 million for defaming her after she sued him for sexual assault.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Depending on how and how quickly the high court rules on Trump’s immunity claim, he could still face charges for trying to overturn the 2020 election in Washington, D.C., before this November’s election.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Two more cases are more likely to come later — in Atlanta, where Trump faces state charges for his 2020 election plot, and in Florida, where he’s tentatively scheduled for a May trial on improper retention of classified documents after leaving the presidency, but the trial date is expected to be postponed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Monday was a win Trump needed to continue his campaign, but his days in court are far from over.\u003c/p>\n\n",

The ruling is almost devoid of references to Jan. 6 or insurrection and doesn’t address whether Trump committed such an act by sparking the attack on the Capitol.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Instead, it focuses on the technical, procedural question of who gets to decide an election challenge under Section 3.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All nine justices agreed that is the purview of Congress. But a narrower majority of five went further, ruling it can only be done through legislation. That exposes significant splits underneath the unanimous majority and points toward the greatest uncertainty the ruling creates.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>A time bomb for Jan. 6, 2025?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>One possible outcome that the case presented was the prospect of unelected judges disqualifying the man dominating who has already received hundreds of thousands of votes in the nominating process.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But another potential nightmare is that if Congress is the only entity that can determine whether a presidential hopeful is indeed disqualified for engaging in “insurrection,” it makes that determination on Jan. 6, 2025, when required to certify a possible Trump victory in the presidential election.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The high court shut down the first possibility but may have left the door open to the second one. The five-justice majority — all from the court’s conservative wing — said Congress can implement Section 3 through legislation, “subject of course to judicial review.” (That means the court reserves for itself the right to have the final say.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That triggered a dissent from the court’s three liberals, who complained that that “shuts the door on other potential means of federal enforcement.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That would appear to include a rejection of Trump’s electors should he win the election — but multiple legal experts said Monday that it wasn’t that clear, and the only way to know may be for Congress to try.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Feeling the heat\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The 14th Amendment case is one of two, putting the high court squarely amid the ongoing presidential election. Last week, the court agreed to hear Trump’s appeal of a federal ruling that he’s not entitled to immunity from criminal charges for his attempt to overturn the 2020 election.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump’s trial on those charges was originally scheduled to begin Monday but has been postponed because of the battle over his immunity challenge. The high court taking up his appeal in late April raises the possibility that the trial won’t conclude until after the presidential election.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The justices’ discomfort over being put in the middle of the nation’s partisan divide came through in a brief but notable concurring opinion by Justice Amy Coney Barrett.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Though one of the court’s conservatives, she disagreed with the majority’s ruling that Congress can only enforce Section 3 through legislation. But she didn’t want to sign onto the liberals’ dissent, either; instead, she warned against focusing too much on partisan divisions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“… this is not the time to amplify disagreement with stridency,” Barrett wrote. “The Court has settled a politically charged issue in the volatile season of a Presidential election. Particularly in this circumstance, writings on the Court should turn the national temperature down, not up.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“For present purposes, our differences are far less important than our unanimity: All nine Justices agree on the outcome of this case,” she concluded. “That is the message Americans should take home.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Action in the states\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The court’s ruling shuts off using Section 3 against federal officials absent action by Congress, but it leaves open the ability of states to use the provision against their own state officials, noting there’s a rich record after the Civil War of just those sorts of actions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s already begun anew in the post-Jan. 6 era. The first disqualification under Section 3 in more than a century came in 2022, when a New Mexico court removed Couy Griffin, who was convicted of entering the Capitol grounds on Jan. 6 while leading a group called “Cowboys for Trump,” from his rural county commission.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The group that brought that case, Citizens for Ethics and Responsibility in Washington, next filed the Colorado case against Trump. They said they were eager to continue filing Section 3 cases against lower-level Jan. 6 participants.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Trump’s legal travails ahead\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Few observers expected the Supreme Court to keep Trump off the ballot. But he’s facing a far more perilous legal road ahead.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The first of Trump’s criminal trials for allegedly falsifying business records to pay hush money to an adult film actress during the 2016 presidential campaign is scheduled to start in New York later this month. The former president is also appealing a New York judge’s ruling that he pay $355 million for fraud committed by his businesses and verdict that he pay a writer $83 million for defaming her after she sued him for sexual assault.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Depending on how and how quickly the high court rules on Trump’s immunity claim, he could still face charges for trying to overturn the 2020 election in Washington, D.C., before this November’s election.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Two more cases are more likely to come later — in Atlanta, where Trump faces state charges for his 2020 election plot, and in Florida, where he’s tentatively scheduled for a May trial on improper retention of classified documents after leaving the presidency, but the trial date is expected to be postponed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Just reminding you that tomorrow is the last day to vote in the March primary. If you still need to read up on the issues and candidates, KQED has a handy voter guide. You can find it at KQED.org/VoterGuide tomorrow night as results come in, you can check out KQED.org/Election and we’ll also share a few episodes about some of the different races in today’s show notes. Happy voting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Alan Montecillo: \u003c/strong>I’m Alan Montecillo in for Ericka Cruz Guevarra. And welcome to the Bay. Local news to keep you rooted. Napa County voters could change the direction of their local government in a big way. Three of the five seats on the Board of Supervisors are up in a nonpartisan race that will be decided in the primary tomorrow. Now, of course, Napa is world famous for its wine industry, but voters are also worried about the same issues as everyone else.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Alan Montecillo: \u003c/strong>Things like housing, wildfires, inequality. Napa is in danger of becoming mostly a playground for the wealthy. We need a durable funding source to fund wildfire mitigation efforts and strike a balance between the economic growth that the wine industry provides and the human aspect of the labor force that we need to make that work. Today, the race for Board of Supervisors in Napa County.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Carlos Cabrera-Lomelí: \u003c/strong>Napa County is, population wise, the smallest county in the Bay area. It doesn’t even make it to a million people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Alan Montecillo: \u003c/strong>Carlos Cabrera-Lomelí is a community engagement reporter for KQED.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Carlos Cabrera-Lomelí: \u003c/strong>However, size wise, it’s huge. You could fit several San Francisco’s inside of there. And just because there’s a, you know, a lot of people doesn’t mean that things don’t get heated. The wine industry is definitely a huge factor, a huge contributor to investment, to employment and everything.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Carlos Cabrera-Lomelí: \u003c/strong>But you also have a lot, a lot of folks who, you know, work in other things, have been living there their whole lives and, you know, kind of have to live with this industry that brings millions of people a year and they have to share resources. This balancing game between the needs of the wine industry and the needs of residents is one of the many reasons it makes politics in Napa really, really interesting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Alan Montecillo: \u003c/strong>So there’s an election coming. The last day to vote is tomorrow.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Carlos Cabrera-Lomelí: \u003c/strong>Tuesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Alan Montecillo: \u003c/strong>Yes. What is it going to be decided in Napa County this week?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Carlos Cabrera-Lomelí: \u003c/strong>Yeah, I would say that for locals, this is a big year in Napa. There’s five people sitting on the board of supervisors of the county. These five people get to decide and supervise the budget. The county prison, the county airport, regulating wineries, wildfire protection plans. And three of those seats on the board, with three out of five majority, will be decided on Tuesday. You know, in other parts of the state, the results of Tuesday are like they’re a primary, right? Like it’s kind of like we’re getting ready for what’s going to happen in November. Napa. It’s what happens on Tuesday. Who wins on Tuesday? That’s it. This is final results.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Alan Montecillo: \u003c/strong>Yeah. Let’s dive more into the big issues in Napa County politics. I have to imagine there’s some overlap with the rest of the bay, like housing. But what else.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Carlos Cabrera-Lomelí: \u003c/strong>In Napa County? We’re trying to figure out housing, how? We’re trying to figure out how to boost the supply of housing. We’re also figuring out wildfire protection, how to make it financially sustainable for the future as climate change gets more and more intense. We’re also dealing with issues of transportation, especially in the southern part of the county.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Carlos Cabrera-Lomelí: \u003c/strong>A lot of folks, you know, they got to go to Vallejo, they got to go to Solano, Contra Costa County and to work. And getting in and out of Napa is pretty tough during the week. Cost of living. Also investment in the sense of like, you know, you have a county that depends on tourism, on people traveling. They’re still catching up. They’re still recovering from the pandemic when it was so hard to make it out there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Alan Montecillo: \u003c/strong>And what about the wine industry? What are the ways that it comes up in local politics?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Carlos Cabrera-Lomelí: \u003c/strong>So over the years, if you if you look at candidates pages, who supports them? Who endorses them? The Napa Wine Growers Association, the Farm Bureau, there will always be a candidate that has their endorsement. They always have something to say. This is an industry that represents millions and millions of dollars. And of course, they want to support a candidate that you know is going to make things a lot easier for them, right? Whether that’s the new vineyard in the works, the it has to go to the Board of Supervisors. And having folks on the Board of Supervisors friendly to the wine industry makes things a lot easier, and they’re very keen on that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Alan Montecillo: \u003c/strong>All right, Carlos, so there are three races for the Napa County Board of Supervisors that could reshape big issues like how the wine industry is regulated. And really, this question of what should be done with land in the county. One race where we’re seeing this is in district five, which I know that you followed closely. Tell me a little bit more about district five.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Carlos Cabrera-Lomelí: \u003c/strong>So I’d say the district five challenges a lot of the preconceptions we have about Napa County. Majority of Napa County is white. The biggest city in district five is American Canyon. American Canyon is actually really, really diverse. It’s overwhelmingly Latino. It’s overwhelmingly Asian, very middle class, very family. A lot of folks work in Vallejo. Work at Six Flags have been there for a while and been able to, like, make a life in the southern part of Napa. You don’t see that many folks going to work in a vineyard or a winery. Economy is a little more varied here, which makes, I think, more integrated with the rest of the bay as well.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Alan Montecillo: \u003c/strong>Let’s talk about the candidates for district five, starting with the incumbent, Belia Ramos.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Carlos Cabrera-Lomelí: \u003c/strong>So there are two candidates in the race and it’s rematch. They’ve actually faced off in 2020. Bailey Ramos who’s currently supervisor won in 2020. And now she’s going against Mariam Aboudamous again, who is a city council member for American Canyon.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Belia Ramos: \u003c/strong>I’m as homegrown as it gets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Carlos Cabrera-Lomelí: \u003c/strong>Ramos definitely emphasizes that she’s born and raised like Napa, like how how rooted she is in Napa County.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Belia Ramos: \u003c/strong>I was born at Queen of the Valley Hospital, and I moved over to unincorporated Napa County outside of Saint Helena.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Carlos Cabrera-Lomelí: \u003c/strong>Folks, take that pride in that small town connection, right? And she definitely emphasizes that she’s representing the interests of, like, middle class Napa residents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Belia Ramos: \u003c/strong>This calling for me, it’s about improving people’s lives.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Carlos Cabrera-Lomelí: \u003c/strong>Part of her story is that she’s a single mom. You know, she had to raise, kids by herself for a moment. She also dealt with housing insecurity. Not even that there is enough affordable housing in Napa. Just that there’s not enough housing in Napa, period.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Alan Montecillo: \u003c/strong>How does Supervisor Ramos brand herself, like, when she is talking about what kind of leader she is and wants to be? What does she talk about?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Carlos Cabrera-Lomelí: \u003c/strong>She has been chair of the board. She’s very, very involved. She knows how the county works really, really well because she’s been on the board since 2016. She’s been involved in a lot of the recovery efforts from wildfire season.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Belia Ramos: \u003c/strong>We were brought to our meetings with fires in 2017, the first Mega Fire Tahoe. So when you ask me, what am I most proud of? I’m proud of the investments we’ve made to make our community more resilient.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Carlos Cabrera-Lomelí: \u003c/strong>She’s very well connected with Congressman Mike Thompson’s office, with labor groups throughout the county. And she’s also she’s involved with the Association of Bay Area Governments, a bag so, you know, well connected.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Alan Montecillo: \u003c/strong>As you said, this is a rematch. Let’s talk about the challenger, Mariam Aboudamous. Who is she? And why is she running again?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Carlos Cabrera-Lomelí: \u003c/strong>Mariam Aboudamous is currently a city council member for American Canyon.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Mariam Aboudamous: \u003c/strong>I actually looked up at the county almost my entire life, and when I was just one year old, we moved to Brownes Valley Nampa. And then when I was to come from this valley to American Canyon. And I’ve lived there ever since.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Carlos Cabrera-Lomelí: \u003c/strong>She’s been in city council for several years now, and what got her into politics, public service was one of the issues that we’ve been talking about. Traffic congestion, mobility.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Mariam Aboudamous: \u003c/strong>I was driving home from my office, and it was literally less than two miles on a drive, but it took me 45 minutes to get home. And I said, this is ridiculous. I should be in San Francisco by now. What’s our city Council doing about traffic? And that’s actually when I ran in 2016.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Carlos Cabrera-Lomelí: \u003c/strong>I was critical in something that I think was really, really cool that a city like American Canyon passed in a pandemic. So the city had actually decided to require, grocery stores to provide hazard pay to its workers during the 2020 pandemic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Mariam Aboudamous: \u003c/strong>Way that I like to do things is I like to talk to both sides and reach a happy medium in the middle where both parties can agree.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Alan Montecillo: \u003c/strong>And who is supporting her?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Carlos Cabrera-Lomelí: \u003c/strong>So she’ll tell you that she has support from all over Napa County, from every industry. I will point out that the first people also came out to support her. Are all groups related to agriculture? The Napa County Farm Bureau, winegrowers of Napa County, the Napa Chamber of Commerce. So groups associated with these, multimillion dollar businesses and industries.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Alan Montecillo: \u003c/strong>Coming up, where these two candidates stand on the big issues facing Napa County. Stay with us.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Alan Montecillo: \u003c/strong>So two candidates, both with public service experience. How different are these two candidates?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Carlos Cabrera-Lomelí: \u003c/strong>You know, Alan, on a lot of stuff, they do see eye to eye. You know, they both want more housing for now, but they both won a sustainable solution to finance wildfire protection. But I would just say that there’s different ways that they they want to go about it. The big difference is, is when you ask them how we should regulate the wine industry. Take the example of the local nine vineyard. A group of winegrowers came together to open up a new vineyard called Lake Colleen in the north part of the county.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Carlos Cabrera-Lomelí: \u003c/strong>And it required turning dozens of acres, which were zoned previously for, you know, as like this natural space into a vineyard space. An environmental group actually appeals the process. And it’s like, hey, actually, this vineyard is going to have really bad impacts on the local ecology, on the water, on lake various on your buy. And it had to go to the Board of Supervisors when the time came for a vote. Supervisor Ramos was the tiebreaker vote. Ramos voted to essentially stop the project. Well Aboudamous, she would have acted very differently.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Mariam Aboudamous: \u003c/strong>Lately, the board has shifted in a way that, you know is not favorable to the industry that’s made the Napa Valley what it is today.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Carlos Cabrera-Lomelí: \u003c/strong>You know, for her, folks are making an investment in Napa. The county should make it easier for those investments to come through.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Alan Montecillo: \u003c/strong>So these two candidates for district five appear aligned on many issues. But there are also a few sticking points, including regulation of the wine industry. What would it mean for Ramos to keep this seat or for Aboudamous to defeat her.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Carlos Cabrera-Lomelí: \u003c/strong>The thing is that, the Lake William project is not the only project in the works. Wine country is a multibillion dollar industry. There’s always something, whether it’s an expansion of an existing vineyard or a new vineyard. It’s just the wine industry is always going to have certain needs, and they need to go to the board and whoever sits on the board, even by just one seat, just change it by one seat.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Carlos Cabrera-Lomelí: \u003c/strong>It has huge implications on future decisions, on how future vineyards are going to be decided, on how future like permits are going to be, deciding on, hey, whether this plot of land should we make it into housing, or should we make it into a one another vineyard, a new vineyard? Ramos I mean, she’s you know, when I asked her, I mean, I think she just wants there to be a better working relationship between county officials and and the industry.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Belia Ramos: \u003c/strong>It really goes back to integrity, a core value of the county of Napa, that this is going to require us to engage with our industry partners, at really looking at what, what the concerns are. And, and also listening to our community.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Alan Montecillo: \u003c/strong>Carlos, when it comes to news coverage of the Bay area, the big cities and counties, you know, San Francisco, Oakland, they get the most attention. And they’re also, I think, sometimes held up as bellwethers for the whole region. We’ve been talking about Napa County, much less populous, but also world famous. Do you think these results will say something about where our broader region is headed?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Carlos Cabrera-Lomelí: \u003c/strong>Yeah, I think so, because, for example, San Francisco or San Jose cities where they’re like, hey, we have a booming industry, the tech industry, that industry has needs, but we also have longtime residents being like, hey, what about us? That’s the same in Napa. You have a booming industry that folks take a lot of pride in, but also the needs of residents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Carlos Cabrera-Lomelí: \u003c/strong>We’ve seen a shift in the past few years where the county is sitting down and strategizing on how to make the county a place, not just for wine. Wine has brought in a lot of money, millions of dollars. But if you see what the decisions and a lot of the things that the Board of Supervisors has been taking up on ADUs, accessory dwelling units, granny homes, thinking more critically about public transportation and how to make it more widely accessible child care.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Carlos Cabrera-Lomelí: \u003c/strong>These are all things that you’re like, whoa! Like if you look at the Board of Supervisors 20 years ago, these things weren’t coming up. And now the reality, I mean, that that the cost of living is just too high.

Happy voting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Alan Montecillo: \u003c/strong>I’m Alan Montecillo in for Ericka Cruz Guevarra. And welcome to the Bay. Local news to keep you rooted. Napa County voters could change the direction of their local government in a big way. Three of the five seats on the Board of Supervisors are up in a nonpartisan race that will be decided in the primary tomorrow. Now, of course, Napa is world famous for its wine industry, but voters are also worried about the same issues as everyone else.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Alan Montecillo: \u003c/strong>Things like housing, wildfires, inequality. Napa is in danger of becoming mostly a playground for the wealthy. We need a durable funding source to fund wildfire mitigation efforts and strike a balance between the economic growth that the wine industry provides and the human aspect of the labor force that we need to make that work. Today, the race for Board of Supervisors in Napa County.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Carlos Cabrera-Lomelí: \u003c/strong>Napa County is, population wise, the smallest county in the Bay area. It doesn’t even make it to a million people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Alan Montecillo: \u003c/strong>Carlos Cabrera-Lomelí is a community engagement reporter for KQED.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Carlos Cabrera-Lomelí: \u003c/strong>However, size wise, it’s huge. You could fit several San Francisco’s inside of there. And just because there’s a, you know, a lot of people doesn’t mean that things don’t get heated. The wine industry is definitely a huge factor, a huge contributor to investment, to employment and everything.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Carlos Cabrera-Lomelí: \u003c/strong>But you also have a lot, a lot of folks who, you know, work in other things, have been living there their whole lives and, you know, kind of have to live with this industry that brings millions of people a year and they have to share resources. This balancing game between the needs of the wine industry and the needs of residents is one of the many reasons it makes politics in Napa really, really interesting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Alan Montecillo: \u003c/strong>So there’s an election coming. The last day to vote is tomorrow.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Carlos Cabrera-Lomelí: \u003c/strong>Tuesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Alan Montecillo: \u003c/strong>Yes. What is it going to be decided in Napa County this week?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Carlos Cabrera-Lomelí: \u003c/strong>Yeah, I would say that for locals, this is a big year in Napa. There’s five people sitting on the board of supervisors of the county. These five people get to decide and supervise the budget. The county prison, the county airport, regulating wineries, wildfire protection plans. And three of those seats on the board, with three out of five majority, will be decided on Tuesday. You know, in other parts of the state, the results of Tuesday are like they’re a primary, right? Like it’s kind of like we’re getting ready for what’s going to happen in November. Napa. It’s what happens on Tuesday. Who wins on Tuesday? That’s it. This is final results.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Alan Montecillo: \u003c/strong>Yeah. Let’s dive more into the big issues in Napa County politics. I have to imagine there’s some overlap with the rest of the bay, like housing. But what else.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Carlos Cabrera-Lomelí: \u003c/strong>In Napa County? We’re trying to figure out housing, how? We’re trying to figure out how to boost the supply of housing. We’re also figuring out wildfire protection, how to make it financially sustainable for the future as climate change gets more and more intense. We’re also dealing with issues of transportation, especially in the southern part of the county.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Carlos Cabrera-Lomelí: \u003c/strong>A lot of folks, you know, they got to go to Vallejo, they got to go to Solano, Contra Costa County and to work. And getting in and out of Napa is pretty tough during the week. Cost of living. Also investment in the sense of like, you know, you have a county that depends on tourism, on people traveling. They’re still catching up. They’re still recovering from the pandemic when it was so hard to make it out there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Alan Montecillo: \u003c/strong>And what about the wine industry? What are the ways that it comes up in local politics?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Carlos Cabrera-Lomelí: \u003c/strong>So over the years, if you if you look at candidates pages, who supports them? Who endorses them? The Napa Wine Growers Association, the Farm Bureau, there will always be a candidate that has their endorsement. They always have something to say. This is an industry that represents millions and millions of dollars. And of course, they want to support a candidate that you know is going to make things a lot easier for them, right? Whether that’s the new vineyard in the works, the it has to go to the Board of Supervisors. And having folks on the Board of Supervisors friendly to the wine industry makes things a lot easier, and they’re very keen on that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Alan Montecillo: \u003c/strong>All right, Carlos, so there are three races for the Napa County Board of Supervisors that could reshape big issues like how the wine industry is regulated. And really, this question of what should be done with land in the county. One race where we’re seeing this is in district five, which I know that you followed closely. Tell me a little bit more about district five.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Carlos Cabrera-Lomelí: \u003c/strong>So I’d say the district five challenges a lot of the preconceptions we have about Napa County. Majority of Napa County is white. The biggest city in district five is American Canyon. American Canyon is actually really, really diverse. It’s overwhelmingly Latino. It’s overwhelmingly Asian, very middle class, very family. A lot of folks work in Vallejo. Work at Six Flags have been there for a while and been able to, like, make a life in the southern part of Napa. You don’t see that many folks going to work in a vineyard or a winery. Economy is a little more varied here, which makes, I think, more integrated with the rest of the bay as well.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Alan Montecillo: \u003c/strong>Let’s talk about the candidates for district five, starting with the incumbent, Belia Ramos.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Carlos Cabrera-Lomelí: \u003c/strong>So there are two candidates in the race and it’s rematch. They’ve actually faced off in 2020. Bailey Ramos who’s currently supervisor won in 2020. And now she’s going against Mariam Aboudamous again, who is a city council member for American Canyon.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Belia Ramos: \u003c/strong>I’m as homegrown as it gets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Carlos Cabrera-Lomelí: \u003c/strong>Ramos definitely emphasizes that she’s born and raised like Napa, like how how rooted she is in Napa County.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Belia Ramos: \u003c/strong>I was born at Queen of the Valley Hospital, and I moved over to unincorporated Napa County outside of Saint Helena.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Carlos Cabrera-Lomelí: \u003c/strong>Folks, take that pride in that small town connection, right? And she definitely emphasizes that she’s representing the interests of, like, middle class Napa residents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Belia Ramos: \u003c/strong>This calling for me, it’s about improving people’s lives.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Carlos Cabrera-Lomelí: \u003c/strong>Part of her story is that she’s a single mom. You know, she had to raise, kids by herself for a moment. She also dealt with housing insecurity. Not even that there is enough affordable housing in Napa. Just that there’s not enough housing in Napa, period.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Alan Montecillo: \u003c/strong>How does Supervisor Ramos brand herself, like, when she is talking about what kind of leader she is and wants to be? What does she talk about?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Carlos Cabrera-Lomelí: \u003c/strong>She has been chair of the board. She’s very, very involved. She knows how the county works really, really well because she’s been on the board since 2016. She’s been involved in a lot of the recovery efforts from wildfire season.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Belia Ramos: \u003c/strong>We were brought to our meetings with fires in 2017, the first Mega Fire Tahoe. So when you ask me, what am I most proud of? I’m proud of the investments we’ve made to make our community more resilient.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Carlos Cabrera-Lomelí: \u003c/strong>She’s very well connected with Congressman Mike Thompson’s office, with labor groups throughout the county. And she’s also she’s involved with the Association of Bay Area Governments, a bag so, you know, well connected.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Alan Montecillo: \u003c/strong>As you said, this is a rematch. Let’s talk about the challenger, Mariam Aboudamous. Who is she? And why is she running again?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Carlos Cabrera-Lomelí: \u003c/strong>Mariam Aboudamous is currently a city council member for American Canyon.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Mariam Aboudamous: \u003c/strong>I actually looked up at the county almost my entire life, and when I was just one year old, we moved to Brownes Valley Nampa. And then when I was to come from this valley to American Canyon. And I’ve lived there ever since.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Carlos Cabrera-Lomelí: \u003c/strong>She’s been in city council for several years now, and what got her into politics, public service was one of the issues that we’ve been talking about. Traffic congestion, mobility.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Mariam Aboudamous: \u003c/strong>I was driving home from my office, and it was literally less than two miles on a drive, but it took me 45 minutes to get home. And I said, this is ridiculous. I should be in San Francisco by now. What’s our city Council doing about traffic? And that’s actually when I ran in 2016.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Carlos Cabrera-Lomelí: \u003c/strong>I was critical in something that I think was really, really cool that a city like American Canyon passed in a pandemic. So the city had actually decided to require, grocery stores to provide hazard pay to its workers during the 2020 pandemic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Mariam Aboudamous: \u003c/strong>Way that I like to do things is I like to talk to both sides and reach a happy medium in the middle where both parties can agree.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Alan Montecillo: \u003c/strong>And who is supporting her?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Carlos Cabrera-Lomelí: \u003c/strong>So she’ll tell you that she has support from all over Napa County, from every industry. I will point out that the first people also came out to support her. Are all groups related to agriculture? The Napa County Farm Bureau, winegrowers of Napa County, the Napa Chamber of Commerce. So groups associated with these, multimillion dollar businesses and industries.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Alan Montecillo: \u003c/strong>Coming up, where these two candidates stand on the big issues facing Napa County. Stay with us.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Alan Montecillo: \u003c/strong>So two candidates, both with public service experience. How different are these two candidates?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Carlos Cabrera-Lomelí: \u003c/strong>You know, Alan, on a lot of stuff, they do see eye to eye. You know, they both want more housing for now, but they both won a sustainable solution to finance wildfire protection. But I would just say that there’s different ways that they they want to go about it. The big difference is, is when you ask them how we should regulate the wine industry. Take the example of the local nine vineyard. A group of winegrowers came together to open up a new vineyard called Lake Colleen in the north part of the county.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Carlos Cabrera-Lomelí: \u003c/strong>And it required turning dozens of acres, which were zoned previously for, you know, as like this natural space into a vineyard space. An environmental group actually appeals the process. And it’s like, hey, actually, this vineyard is going to have really bad impacts on the local ecology, on the water, on lake various on your buy. And it had to go to the Board of Supervisors when the time came for a vote. Supervisor Ramos was the tiebreaker vote. Ramos voted to essentially stop the project. Well Aboudamous, she would have acted very differently.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Mariam Aboudamous: \u003c/strong>Lately, the board has shifted in a way that, you know is not favorable to the industry that’s made the Napa Valley what it is today.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Carlos Cabrera-Lomelí: \u003c/strong>You know, for her, folks are making an investment in Napa. The county should make it easier for those investments to come through.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Alan Montecillo: \u003c/strong>So these two candidates for district five appear aligned on many issues. But there are also a few sticking points, including regulation of the wine industry. What would it mean for Ramos to keep this seat or for Aboudamous to defeat her.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Carlos Cabrera-Lomelí: \u003c/strong>The thing is that, the Lake William project is not the only project in the works. Wine country is a multibillion dollar industry. There’s always something, whether it’s an expansion of an existing vineyard or a new vineyard. It’s just the wine industry is always going to have certain needs, and they need to go to the board and whoever sits on the board, even by just one seat, just change it by one seat.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Carlos Cabrera-Lomelí: \u003c/strong>It has huge implications on future decisions, on how future vineyards are going to be decided, on how future like permits are going to be, deciding on, hey, whether this plot of land should we make it into housing, or should we make it into a one another vineyard, a new vineyard? Ramos I mean, she’s you know, when I asked her, I mean, I think she just wants there to be a better working relationship between county officials and and the industry.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Belia Ramos: \u003c/strong>It really goes back to integrity, a core value of the county of Napa, that this is going to require us to engage with our industry partners, at really looking at what, what the concerns are. And, and also listening to our community.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Alan Montecillo: \u003c/strong>Carlos, when it comes to news coverage of the Bay area, the big cities and counties, you know, San Francisco, Oakland, they get the most attention. And they’re also, I think, sometimes held up as bellwethers for the whole region. We’ve been talking about Napa County, much less populous, but also world famous. Do you think these results will say something about where our broader region is headed?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Carlos Cabrera-Lomelí: \u003c/strong>Yeah, I think so, because, for example, San Francisco or San Jose cities where they’re like, hey, we have a booming industry, the tech industry, that industry has needs, but we also have longtime residents being like, hey, what about us? That’s the same in Napa. You have a booming industry that folks take a lot of pride in, but also the needs of residents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Carlos Cabrera-Lomelí: \u003c/strong>We’ve seen a shift in the past few years where the county is sitting down and strategizing on how to make the county a place, not just for wine. Wine has brought in a lot of money, millions of dollars. But if you see what the decisions and a lot of the things that the Board of Supervisors has been taking up on ADUs, accessory dwelling units, granny homes, thinking more critically about public transportation and how to make it more widely accessible child care.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Carlos Cabrera-Lomelí: \u003c/strong>These are all things that you’re like, whoa! Like if you look at the Board of Supervisors 20 years ago, these things weren’t coming up. And now the reality, I mean, that that the cost of living is just too high. It’s gotten to a point where the Board of Supervisors cannot ignore it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Alan Montecillo: \u003c/strong>Yeah. And how do you balance all of those things? How do you balance the needs and wants of industry versus the cost of living versus the land? I mean, that’s that’s that’s everybody.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Carlos Cabrera-Lomelí: \u003c/strong>It’s in it’s it’s in its DNA agriculture. But it’s gotten to a point where like tough decisions need to be made.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Alan Montecillo: \u003c/strong>I guess we’ll see what happens in this race and many, many others this week in this election.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Carlos Cabrera-Lomelí: \u003c/strong>Thanks, Carlos. Thank you. Alan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Alan Montecillo: \u003c/strong>That was Carlos Cabrera-Lomeli, community engagement reporter for KQED.

The law, \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=202320240AB969\">signed by the governor in October\u003c/a>, limits hand-counting to only regular elections with less than 1,000 registered voters and special elections with fewer than 5,000 voters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This isn’t something that’s going away because the state Legislature’s changed the law,” Francescut said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An elections commission in the county, with about \u003ca href=\"https://elections.shastacounty.gov/resources/voter-registration-information/voter-registration-statistics/\">112,000 registered voters\u003c/a> continues to push for hand-counting ballots.

But way before that, California voters have another big election around the corner on March 5: Our state’s presidential primary.

But \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11795384/whos-down-with-npp-what-to-know-about-no-party-preference-voting-in-californias-primary\">if you’re registered as a “no party preference”\u003c/a> voter (sometimes referred to as an “independent”), you’ll need to take action to be able to vote in these races — because the ballot you received in the mail \u003cem>won’t\u003c/em> have any presidential candidates on it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another twist: The type of action you have to take depends on what party’s candidate you want to vote for in March. But luckily, it’s not too late. Keep reading for everything you need to know about voting in California’s presidential primaries as a no party preference (NPP) voter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>(And if you’re looking for information about what’s on your ballot, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/voterguide\">take a look at KQED’s Voter Guide\u003c/a>, which unpacks ballot measures and compares candidates in the most important races in the Bay Area.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Jump straight to: How to vote for a presidential candidate in\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"#howtovote\">\u003cstrong>The Democratic Party, the American Independent Party or the Libertarian Party\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"#greenparty\">\u003cstrong>The Green Party, the Peace and Freedom Party or the Republican Party\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003ch2>I can’t remember whether I’m registered as no party preference (NPP).

At 27.11%, Santa Clara County actually holds the greatest percentage of NPP voters in the entire state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>(One small thing to note: Even though being a no party preference Voter is sometimes known as being an independent voter, that’s not the same thing as being a member of the American Independent Party.)\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>When I receive my NPP ballot in the mail without any presidential candidates on it, what should I do with it?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>“The good news is that nobody has to vote with the ballot that they get in the mail if they don’t want to,” Alexander said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, if you, in fact, want to cast a vote for a presidential candidate in the primary, do not fill out and submit that first ballot you were sent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"#tellus\">Tell us: What else do you need to know about voting in 2024?\u003c/a>\u003c/strong>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>Not only will that first ballot not give you any presidential nominees to vote on (because you’re an NPP voter), but if you \u003cem>do\u003c/em> submit it, you will not be able to fill out any new ballot with presidential candidates on it because you will have already voted by submitting that first ballot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Instead, you can follow the steps below, depending on which party you want to vote for, and that first ballot will be canceled. Your NPP status will also prevent you from voting for candidates for party central committees, the governing body of the local political parties. Those elections are only open to party members. But NPP voters won’t have to take any action to vote in the primary for U.S. Senate or state legislature.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003ca id=\"howtovote\">\u003c/a>I’m NPP, and I want to vote for a presidential candidate in the Democratic Party, the American Independent Party or the Libertarian Party.\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>These three political parties hold what’s called “modified-closed presidential primaries,” — which means that as well as accepting votes from their registered party members, they also allow NPP voters to vote for their presidential nominees without having to register with that party.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To vote in the March primary for a presidential candidate from the Democratic Party, the American Independent Party or the Libertarian Party, you can:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>1.

Between Feb. 28 and March 5, you’ll need to request one in person (see below).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As long as you requested it in time, your new cross-over ballot will arrive in the mail, and the original ballot you were sent in early February — the one that didn’t have any presidential candidates on it — will be canceled, as long as you haven’t already submitted it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>2. Request a cross-over ballot when you vote in person\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you want to vote for a presidential candidate from the American Independent, Democratic, or Libertarian party in person, ask a poll worker for a new ballot with those candidates when checking in at an in-person voting location after voting opens in your county. And as mentioned above, you can do this at your county elections office, too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You’ll be handed a new ballot that includes that party’s presidential nominees, which you can fill out and submit there and then. If you do this, it’s a good idea to bring along the original ballot you were sent so it can be canceled on the spot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But again, remember: If you’ve already filled out and submitted that first ballot that arrived in the mail, you cannot request and submit any new cross-over ballot either by mail or in person.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003ca id=\"greenparty\">\u003c/a>I’m NPP, and I want to vote for a presidential candidate in the Green Party, the Peace and Freedom Party or the Republican Party\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>These three political parties hold what’s called “closed presidential primaries,” — which means that only voters who’ve registered as a member of that party (also known as “indicating a preference for that party”) can vote for one of their presidential nominees. Unlike the Democratic Party, the American Independent Party or the Libertarian Party, these parties will not let you request a cross-over ballot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Instead, if you want to vote for a candidate from the Green Party, the Peace and Freedom Party or the Republican Party in the primary, you’ll have to officially \u003ca href=\"https://registertovote.ca.gov/\">re-register as a member of that party\u003c/a>. Remember: Re-registering as a member of a political party, even if you’re only doing it to be able to vote in the presidential primary, will mean you’ll remain a registered member of that party indefinitely unless you make further changes to your registration later. That is, there’s no such thing as a “temporary” re-registration for the primary.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here’s how to re-register with a political party, depending on when you’re reading this:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Re-register online (before Feb. 20)\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Go to \u003ca href=\"https://registertovote.ca.gov/\">registertovote.ca.gov\u003c/a> to input your details and select the party you now wish to register as a member of to be able to vote for one of their presidential candidates in the March primary.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Be sure to check the “I was previously registered or pre-registered to vote” box on the form to indicate you were previously registered as no party preference, and then select your desired new party under “Political Party Preference.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You will then receive a new ballot in the mail that contains presidential nominees for that party.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Re-register in person at your county elections office (after Feb. 20)\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.sos.ca.gov/elections/voter-registration/same-day-reg/\">The Same Day Registration system\u003c/a> allows voters to register for their preferred party in person and vote using what’s called a provisional ballot.

Your county’s election office sent out that mailer and will have included a postcard that an NPP voter could complete and send back to request a cross-over ballot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the deadline to send back these mailers passed long ago — so if you don’t remember filling out and sending back that postcard, you’ll still need to follow the steps below depending on what party presidential primary you want to vote in. (And if you don’t even remember seeing that mailer, that means there’s no point in stressing about it now anyway.)\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Voting in the presidential primary as an NPP voter seems … involved. Am I missing something?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>No, Alexander said — the system means that the roughly 22% of California voters registered as NPP “need to be proactive,” she said. “Some people are going to feel frustrated about that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And when it comes to why the presidential primaries can get complex for NPP voters, Alexander noted that it’s the political parties themselves who decide to hold closed or modified-open primaries this way. The state does not decide it, and “it’s not [your] registrar’s fault or responsibility” either, she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside tag=\"election, ballot\" label=\"More Related Stories\"]This is, Alexander said, “just one of those things that makes California elections feel like you’re doing algebra sometimes, trying to figure out what’s what.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>I’m not actually registered to vote at \u003cem>all\u003c/em>, but I want to vote in March.

But \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11795384/whos-down-with-npp-what-to-know-about-no-party-preference-voting-in-californias-primary\">if you’re registered as a “no party preference”\u003c/a> voter (sometimes referred to as an “independent”), you’ll need to take action to be able to vote in these races — because the ballot you received in the mail \u003cem>won’t\u003c/em> have any presidential candidates on it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another twist: The type of action you have to take depends on what party’s candidate you want to vote for in March. But luckily, it’s not too late. Keep reading for everything you need to know about voting in California’s presidential primaries as a no party preference (NPP) voter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>(And if you’re looking for information about what’s on your ballot, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/voterguide\">take a look at KQED’s Voter Guide\u003c/a>, which unpacks ballot measures and compares candidates in the most important races in the Bay Area.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Jump straight to: How to vote for a presidential candidate in\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"#howtovote\">\u003cstrong>The Democratic Party, the American Independent Party or the Libertarian Party\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"#greenparty\">\u003cstrong>The Green Party, the Peace and Freedom Party or the Republican Party\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003ch2>I can’t remember whether I’m registered as no party preference (NPP).

At 27.11%, Santa Clara County actually holds the greatest percentage of NPP voters in the entire state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>(One small thing to note: Even though being a no party preference Voter is sometimes known as being an independent voter, that’s not the same thing as being a member of the American Independent Party.)\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>When I receive my NPP ballot in the mail without any presidential candidates on it, what should I do with it?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>“The good news is that nobody has to vote with the ballot that they get in the mail if they don’t want to,” Alexander said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, if you, in fact, want to cast a vote for a presidential candidate in the primary, do not fill out and submit that first ballot you were sent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"#tellus\">Tell us: What else do you need to know about voting in 2024?\u003c/a>\u003c/strong>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>Not only will that first ballot not give you any presidential nominees to vote on (because you’re an NPP voter), but if you \u003cem>do\u003c/em> submit it, you will not be able to fill out any new ballot with presidential candidates on it because you will have already voted by submitting that first ballot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Instead, you can follow the steps below, depending on which party you want to vote for, and that first ballot will be canceled. Your NPP status will also prevent you from voting for candidates for party central committees, the governing body of the local political parties. Those elections are only open to party members.

Remember: Re-registering as a member of a political party, even if you’re only doing it to be able to vote in the presidential primary, will mean you’ll remain a registered member of that party indefinitely unless you make further changes to your registration later.
