I dedicate my VOTE to my Daughters and all the Daughters of America!
Hello friends – as we approach November 06, 2018, and many of you are voting via mail-in ballots, here are my California endorsements and recommendations for this critically important election. Firstly you will note my Statewide ballot – which pertains to all in California. My United States Senator endorsement is incumbent Senator Dianne Feinstein, which applies also to all in California. The U.S. Representative for my area, which is 2nd Congressional, is Jared Huffman who I endorse. Further down, you will see who I am endorsing in other California Congressional districts. Let me know if you have any questions – I have done my homework.
For anyone interested I recently wrote an article on why I am supporting Senator Feinstein. HERE.

10th Assembly, Senate District 2 – Marin/ Sonoma:
State Senator: Mike McGuire
State Assembly: Dan Monte (endorsed) (Take a look at Dan’s webpage and up to date support of Transgender community ( #WONTbeERASED ) . Dan Monte listened and heard the needs of the Marin and Sonoma trans community this past week when they had their rights threatened by the Trump admin. Dan quickly took action and went the extra mile to reassure the trans community of his support and to note that Trans people will not be erased! Unlike his opponent Dan Monte is not beholden to corporate interests as he as not taken any such big money.
