March 2024

This election has a bunch of kinda hard decisions on it and I’m taking longer than usual to figure out what to vote for (plus I got my county voters guide really late). At least I know to VOTE YES ON BERKELEY MEASURE H.

November 2022

Another November, another election. This election feels momentous nationally, as the outcome of Congressional elections could either enable or thwart the ability of the Biden administration to get anything done in Congress, and the outcome of many governor and state legislature elections could wrest abortion rights away from millions who haven’t already lost them. Here in Berkeley, the stakes may feel a bit lower, but there’s still a lot to be excited about on the ballot. Lots more below, but definitely vote Pamela Price for Alameda County DA and Alfred Twu for AC Transit director.)

June 2022

On my Berkeley ballot, there are many choices to make. But there are no propositions, and most elections involve a Democratic incumbent running against no serious opposition from the left.

But there are a few really important elections! Most importantly, make sure to vote for Alameda County Sheriff and District Attorney.

These are my thoughts on the September 2021 California Governor recall election. tl;dr: VOTE NO ON QUESTION 1. Make sure everyone you know VOTES NO ON QUESTION 1. Make sure you got your mail-in ballot, and return it to a dropbox if easy or to USPS if not, as soon as possible. Don’t dilly-dally on voting just because question 2 is confusing. This election is not about Gavin Newsom. This election is about the Republican Party of California and about a loophole in the recall process.
