Here are my thoughts on ballot items for this primary election:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Joseph R. Biden.<\/strong><\/span> Because, you know… Women’s reproductive rights, human rights, the Supreme Court, climate change, American workers, Russia, truth, dignity, the future of democracy in the US, ….<\/p>\n\n\n\n Adam B. Schiff.<\/strong><\/span> Longtime supporter of the San Gabriel Valley’s interests in the House. Strong businesslike presentation of the impeachment case against the former president.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Judy Chu.<\/strong><\/span> In Washington, Judy Chu looks after the interests and sensibilities of Pasadena and the San Gabriel Valley. Let’s re-elect her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Yes.<\/strong><\/span> Build more facilities for mental health care, drug\/alcohol treatment, and housing for people experiencing challenges with mental health, drugs, and alcohol. Directs counties to use their portions of funds for similar needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Jeff Chemerinsky.<\/strong><\/span> Violent crime is down in LA County, but property crime is up. People believe that criminals run rampant, but I am not convinced of the validity of their fear-mongering. Chemerinsky brings a healthy balance between “don’t bother arresting anyone” and “lock up everyone for decades.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n Kathryn Barger.<\/strong><\/span> Continue serving the needs of \u2013 and solving problems for \u2013 the huge portion of the county that runs from South Pasadena, across mountains and deserts, up to the Kern County line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Victor M. Gordo.<\/strong><\/span> Victor grew up in Pasadena, has served our city for years, knows us and our neighbors, and works to meet the needs of our city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Yes.<\/strong><\/span> These three measures clean up language in the City Charter and also enable better methods for contracting with service providers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sandra Armenta<\/strong><\/span>. Rosemead City Council member and teacher who claims to have the most balanced approach to legislating, taxing, and spending.<\/p>\n\n\n\n John Harabedian<\/strong><\/span>. Pasadena resident who shared with the LA Times: “I believe every Californian should have an affordable place to live, a job that pays a livable wage, access to quality affordable healthcare, access to natural resources like clean water and open space to survive and thrive, and access to the best free education possible.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n Following recommendations of the LA Times Editorial Board:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Here are my thoughts on ballot items for this primary election: National Elections Presidential Primary Joseph R.
