Liccardo said he supports Proposition 36, the statewide ballot measure allowing prosecutors to seek \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12011368/tough-on-crime-initiative-divides-south-bay-democratic-candidates\">tougher sentences for repeat offenders charged with theft and drug possession\u003c/a>, which Low opposes.

A late September survey from the Berkeley Institute of Governmental Studies was less bullish but still found a comfortable 60% of likely voters in support. Faced with that signal from the electorate, many high-profile California Democrats, from Sen. Laphonza Butler to Vice President Kamala Harris, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12011083/can-californias-prop-36-crime-measure-fulfill-its-promises\">have refused to make their position on the measure public\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is one of the reasons that candidates at all levels are not necessarily eager to go out and take a stand on this because it could be a wedge issue,” Baldassare said. “And the candidates and campaigns are not quite sure how voters are going to respond.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the South Bay’s marquee race for Congress, in the 16th District, Democrats Sam Liccardo and Evan Low had said little about Proposition 36 — \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QRbxdAxjZ_M&t=2507s\">until they found themselves on opposite sides of the measure in a debate\u003c/a> earlier this month.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"From the 2024 Voter Guide\" link1='https://www.kqed.org/voterguide/california/congress-16th-district,Learn about the U.S. House of Representatives, District 16 Election' hero=https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/80/2024/02/Aside-Bay-Area-Voter-Guide-2024-Primary-Election-1200x1200-1.png]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Liccardo, the former mayor of San José, called the measure “an imperfect proposition” but said it would restore participation in drug courts, programs that offer a chance at reduced punishment if participants complete treatment.

Democrat Lydia Kou, a Palo Alto city councilmember, has made no secret of her support for the measure as she \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/voterguide/california/state-assembly-23rd-district\">campaigns to unseat Democratic Assemblymember Marc Berman in the 23rd District\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kou writes on her website that Proposition 36 is a “good example” of when “State officials too often drift apart from their communities and focus on big donors, special interests and ideological pressure groups.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Prop 36 also divides our Assembly District 23: I myself support Prop 36 and recommend a “Yes” vote, and if elected I’ll support related measures where sensible; My opponent, Marc Berman, has been a leading opponent of Prop 36,” Kou wrote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Unlike many Democrats, Berman has not been shy with his opposition to the measure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“One thing to emphasize about [Proposition] 36 is the millions of dollars that it will cost the state, that it will cost our counties if it passes, and how it will take money away from diversion programs,” Berman told KQED. “Instead, it will lock people up for stealing remarkably low-cost items. That third theft, even if it’s a burrito, even if it’s diapers for your kids, could all of a sudden be a felony.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"From the 2024 Voter Guide\" link1='https://www.kqed.org/voterguide/california,Learn about the California Propositions' hero=https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/80/2024/09/Aside-California-Propositions-2024-General-Election-1200x1200-1.png]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Diaz said there is still some risk for campaigns looking to capitalize on the strong polling in favor of Proposition 36. Support for propositions typically narrows closer to the election, and if the measure’s margins slip in the Bay Area, the pro-36 messaging could rub some voters the wrong way, she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You don’t know who you are losing, especially with a mailer — it could be going to a household that is split on that issue, and you don’t know how to segment that out,” Diaz said. “It raises a lot of flags, and it becomes risky.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One thing seems certain: Proposition 36 is catching the attention of voters. 28% of likely voters told the PPIC they were more interested in Proposition 36 than any other state measure on the ballot, comfortably ahead of the 17% who said they were most interested in Proposition 33, which would allow the expansion of rent control.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",
