... for Adam for both the fill and full terms, although I think Katie and Barbara are great, too. Adam earned my vote as my Rep - and with his past good work. For most others, there is a section in the booklet that gives Democratic party endorsements. Some of the the Judges are difficult...I research online. I don't want to vote for a bad Judge. If unsure, I leave it blank.

A few reasons.

1) Schiff is 63 and Padilla is 50

Most Senators stay in office until they retire... which is usually around 80.

That means that California would have TWO MALE Senators for the next NEARLY 20 years.

No Bueno.

2) Porter is a bull in the china shop... which I like and feel is necessary.

I'll vote for Schiff if it's Garvey opposing him, of course...
