LWV Mourns Dr. Turner

We are very sad to  share the news that LWVUS President Dr. Deborah Ann Turner passed away unexpectedly on January 28. She was a highly respected leader and a fearless advocate for voting rights and women’s rights.

Dr. Turner devoted her life’s work to creating meaningful changes in the lives of voters across the nation. Her slogan was, "Keep on keeping on."  You can read the official statement on LWV.org here. 

   
Dr. Turner’s family wanted to be sure that we shared the details of the upcoming memorial services this weekend and invite you to participate either in person or online.
 
Our thoughts are with Dr. Turner’s family during this difficult time. We are committed to honoring her legacy by upholding our values to empower voters and build a stronger, more inclusive democracy. As Dr. Turner always said, “We will keep on keeping on!”

CO-PRESIDENTS MESSAGE

Ready, Get Set, Vote!

 

March 5th Primary

The primary election will be on March 5, 2024.  No local city council or school board races.  There is a Sunnyvale School Bond Measure which our League has endorsed. 

 

And Prop 1 at the state level. Please study Prop 1 closely – it has several things designed to help alleviate the mental health challenges in our state, but it has an involuntary commitment element that may take away too much of our individual rights. LWV California is opposing Prop 1. We have sent an EBlast with more details on this and other election information.

This primary season we are very pleased to be hosting zoom candidate forums for Congressional District 17 and State Assembly District 26 – please register in the Event section of our website at www.LWVCS.org

 

VotersEdge is now Vote411.  As it does not have information on the money behind the candidates and measures, we encourage you to also review the following websites:

PowerSearch.sos.ca.gov – has the money behind the state candidates and ballot measures.

Federal Elections Commission – has the money behind federal candidates.

 Also check out Santa Clara County ROV Services – which has all your voter service needs:

·       Check your voter registration

·       Find a ballot drop box

·       Track your ballot

·       View a sample ballot

·       And much, much more

 

Fremont Union High School District (FUHSD)

The school district is moving from electing Trustees at-large to electing them by districts. Several of our members are actively helping with the FUHSD Districting process.  If you live in the district, please be sure to give your suggestions for the district map into Map Input Form.

 

Elected Officials Event

On March 10 from 2:30 to 4pm, we will host our “Meet the Elected Officials” event at BJ’s in Cupertino. Last year’s event had a terrific turn out and was a lot of fun.  This year, once again, LWVCS provides a wonderful opportunity to get to speak one on one with elected officials as well as catch up with your very friendly league members.  And BJ’s is a great host with delicious food and beverages. Please RSVP on our website under events – go to www.LWVCS.org to register today!

 

Fun Fact

February 1st is the birthday of Hattie Caraway (1878-1950) the first woman elected to the U.S. Senate. Her husband was a U.S. Senator from Arkansas. Following her husband’s death in 1931, and only 11 years after women got the right to vote, she filled the remainder of his term. She was then elected for two additional terms, serving a total of 14 years in the senate.

Elaine & Tracey, Co-Presidents

California Primary – March 5, 2024 – Get the Ballot You Want

 

2024 is the first time that California will participate in Super Tuesday. Do you know which presidential candidates will appear on your ballot?

 

In 2011, California adopted the “Top Two Candidates Open Primary Act”.  As a result, in elections for U.S. congressional offices, state constitutional offices and state legislative offices all candidates are listed on one ballot and only the top two vote-getters– regardless of party preference - move on to the general election. 

 

The only elections where the list of candidates will be specific to a political party are the offices of U.S. President and county central committee.  So, how can you be sure to get the ballot that you want?

 

·      Go to sccvote.sccgov.org to check that you are registered to vote and to see if you are registered with a political party.

·      If you are registered with a party, the presidential candidates for that party will be on your ballot.

·      If you are registered NPP (No Party Preference) your default ballot will not have presidential candidates.  If you want to vote for a presidential candidate, you can take one of the steps below.

·      To vote for a candidate from the American Independent, Democratic, or Libertarian Party, you need to request a crossover ballot. The ROV will send NPP voters a Cross-Over Ballot Notice and Application with instructions about how to do this.

·      To vote for a candidate from the Green, Peace & Freedom, or Republican Party, go to sccvote.sccgov.org and re-register as a member of that party.

 

The deadline to register to vote is February 19, 2024 and the deadline to request a crossover ballot is February 20, 2024.  If you miss these deadlines, you can still request a conditional ballot on or before March 5 at the Registrar of Voters or at any vote center.

 

For more information go to the SCC ROV website: https://sccvote.sccgov.org/elections/march-5-2024-presidential-primary-election or the CA Secretary of State website: https://www.sos.ca.gov/elections/voting-info/how-vote-president

Our Leagues are not hosting a Primary Candidate Forum for CA State Assembly District 28, which covers Los Gatos and Monte Sereno, because there are only two candidates. Thus, current Assemblyperson Gail Pellerin and Candidate Liz Lawler will appear on the November ballot.

 

 

PROS and CONS

There is only one state measure on the primary ballot, Prop 1, which actually proposes two items: reallocation of some of the current funds counties receive as part of the Mental Health Services Act (MHSA) passed in 2004, and a bond measure to build more facilities for mental health needs and housing for the homeless. You can find much more detailed and unbiased, neutral information in the links below.

  • Pros & Cons - The shareable PDF version is available and has excellent information on Prop 1.
  • Pros & Cons video - The video explainer is available on YouTube. You can also find the slide deck.
  • Easy Voter Guide - Our Easy Voter Guide helps the election make sense. English, Spanish, Chinese, and Vietnamese language versions are currently available at easyvoterguide.org. The Easy Voter Guide also has an excellent analysis of Prop 1.

 

LWV Cupertino-Sunnyvale Supports LWVC ADVOCACY: VOTE WITH THE LEAGUE

 

VOTE NO ON PROP 1: Mental Health Care and Addiction Treatment Reform & Bonds to Build Places for Treatment and Supportive Housing.

Although California has a critical need to resource better mental health and addiction services and to address our crisis of homelessness, the League of Women Voters of California opposes Proposition 1 for a number of important reasons. While the additional housing resources offered through Prop 1 are sorely needed, they do not outweigh its flaws.

The bond portion of the measure was rushed through the legislature with last-minute amendments that opened the door to funding involuntary treatment in locked facilities. The rushed nature of these amendments precluded substantive debate and ignored arguments from diverse community-based organizations and health care and civil rights advocates. These groups contend that community-based care is more effective than institutionalization and that incentivizing institutionalization will both lead to worse health outcomes and curtail individual liberties.

 

Furthermore, Prop 1 does not increase the overall funding for mental health services for counties – the bond money is to build treatment units and supportive housing. Under the changes this measure makes to the Mental Health Services Act, more of the money received by counties must be used for housing of a certain group of patients and for intensive, personalized support services like assistance finding employment and accessing educational opportunities. This reallocation reduces the funds available for other mental health services that counties currently offer to patients, like treatment, crisis response, and outreach. It has the overall effect of reducing counties’ ability to set priorities based on local needs for mental health services.Any variances that may allow counties to spend more or less on specific categories would increase their administrative costs and do not erase the lack of flexibility they would have to meet specific needs.

 

Finally, budgetary decisions should be made by the legislature, not by earmarking funds through ballot initiatives. Earmarking restricts the counties and the state from redirecting funds to alternative models of care that may arise in the future, or to other emerging and essential needs.

Pros y contras

Sólo hay una medida estatal en la boleta primaria, la Proposición 1, que en realidad propone dos elementos: la reasignación de algunos de los fondos actuales que reciben los condados como parte de la Ley de Servicios de Salud Mental (MHSA) aprobada en 2004, y una medida de bonos para construir más instalaciones para las necesidades de salud mental y viviendas para las personas sin hogar. Puede encontrar información mucho más detallada, imparcial y neutral en los enlaces a continuación.

 

Pros y contras: la versión en PDF que se puede compartir está disponible y tiene excelente información sobre la Proposición 1.

Vídeo de ventajas y desventajas: el vídeo explicativo está disponible en YouTube. También puede encontrar las diapositivas.

Guía sencilla para el votante: nuestra Guía sencilla para el votante ayuda a que las elecciones tengan sentido. Las versiones en inglés, español, chino y vietnamita están disponibles actualmente en easyvoterguide.org. La Guía Fácil para el Votante también tiene un excelente análisis de la Proposición 1.

 

Medida C para el Distrito Escolar Primario Sunnyvale

La Medida C permitirá al Distrito Escolar de Sunnyvale crear y mejorar instalaciones esenciales para una educación sobresaliente para todos los estudiantes desde el jardín de infantes de transición hasta las escuelas intermedias galardonadas. El distrito ha demostrado que es un buen administrador del dinero de los contribuyentes, como lo demuestra su alta calificación crediticia y su gestión exitosa de programas de bonos anteriores. La aprobación de la Medida C ayudará a garantizar que Sunnyvale siga teniendo excelentes escuelas que beneficien a toda la comunidad.

Pro-Con próximamente (fin de mes)

Por estas razones, la Junta de la Liga de Mujeres Votantes de Cupertino-Sunnyvale respalda la Medida de Bonos C del Distrito Escolar de Sunnyvale en la boleta electoral del 5 de marzo de 2024.
