Election, Tuesday November 7th --
The Citizens Alliance endorses these candidates:
The Citizens Alliance endorses these candidates:
| EDH Community Services District Director: | Justin Masters, Marc Pearl, Tony Rogozinski |
| EDH Fire District* Director: | John Knight, Dorothy Nesbitt, Michael Stockam |
* The Fire District's legal name, which appears on the ballot, is the El Dorado Hills County Water District.
The Citizens Alliance has not considered taking a position on any state ballot measures. However, the El Dorado County Transportation Commission, District 1 County Supervisor Rusty Dupray, and several others holding positions of responsibility have endorsed Proposition 1A and Proposition 1B. 1A closes a loophole which has been used to divert Proposition 42 gasoline sales tax funds to uses other than road and transportation projects. 1B is the Highway Safety, Traffic Reduction, Air Quality, and Port Security Bond Act. County officials expect to be able to benefit from this measure to fund improvements on the US 50 corridor.
Such improvements are a key goal of the Citizens Alliance. We recommend that our members devote special attention to reviewing Proposition 1A and Proposition 1B when deciding how to vote.
