*At this time, SBWPC has not reached an endorsement in the California governor’s race. There are many factors still in flux, and we believe it is important to allow these developments to unfold before making a final determination.
We respectfully ask that you hold on to your ballot until closer to the end of the voting period. Rather than mailing it in, please consider returning your completed ballot to an official county ballot drop box.
Thank you for your patience and for your commitment to participating thoughtfully in this election.
