Yesterday I sent the following message to the GFC Network, after which I received critical responses from some people who do not agree with all of the choices made by the two organizations I cited. My question for you: Are there any LA or SF political philanthropies who create voter guides with which you agree 100%?

ThriveLA and GrowSF provide valuable voter guides. While I may not agree with every choice they make, I know they drill down deeply and base selections on their assessment of the general interest.

Yesterday I wrote that the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) is concealing from voters that revenues from its Proposition D tax proposal on the San Francisco ballot would primarily benefit SEIU itself. But that’s not the only secret.

The Service Employees International Union (SEIU), representing San Francisco government workers, is concealing the reality behind its Proposition D tax proposal. While presenting itself as a populist group focused on reallocating wealth from billion-dollar firms, the SEIU fails to disclose that this redistribution would primarily benefit the union itself.

The gubernatorial debates concluded without the one essential question being posed:

“In what specific ways does your strategy for resolving issues like housing, homelessness, affordability, and unemployment diverge from the methods employed by Governor Newsom?”

Ballots for the primary election were released this week, and voters have until June 2 to cast their votes. The only consequential races on the state ballot are for Governor and Insurance Commissioner.

99.9% of Californians have never heard of Bearstar Strategies but 100% of Californians have been manipulated by that political firm for years.

I regularly ride SF Muni, which is not only a great way to get around town but also at times a wonderful way to interact with my fellow residents.

Once upon a time, Eric Swalwell was endorsed for governor by all of the “Big Three” of California’s establishment: the California Teachers’ Association (CTA), the Service Employees International Union (SEIU), and the California Hospital Association (CHA). Together the members of those organizations collect upwards of $80 billion per year from the governor and legislature.

Ask yourself the following question: If every one of California’s 10.4 million registered Democrats and 5.1 million Independents actually knew Tom Steyer, Katie Porter and Matt Mahan, which of them do you expect would collect the most votes?
