The votes are in!!!
PDB members cast their votes last week on Benicia’s non-binding referendum, Measure D, as well as several of the State Propositions, all of which will appear on our November 3 ballot.
Following an informative meeting on September 8, members voted on our digital poll here on the PDB website. The overall position of our members is very evident, with Benicia Measure D and several of the state propositions receiving nearly 100% of the votes. Here’s how the voting went:
PDB Member – Measure D and State Propositions |
||||||
| LOCAL BENICIA MEASURE D – Cannabis | State Proposition 15 – Taxes | State Proposition 16 – Affirmative Action | State Proposition 17 – Suffrage | State Proposition 18 – Suffrage | ||
| % YES | 92.0% | 100.0% | 92.0% | 100.0% | 92.0% | |
| % NO | 8.0% | 0.0% | 8.0% | 0.0% | 8.0% | |
| State Proposition 20 – Law Enforcement | State Proposition 24 – Business | State Proposition 25 – Trials | |
| % YES | 20.8% | 50.0% | 100.0% |
| % NO | 79.2% | 50.0% | 0.0% |
Note that our PDB vote on state propositions is only advisory. Local Democratic clubs must follow the positions taken by our California Democratic Party on state propositions. NONETHELESS and interestingly, Progressive Democrats of Benicia voted entirely in sync with our California Dem Party: YES on 15, 16, 17, 18, and 25, NO on 20, and NEUTRAL on 24. (PDB took no position on propositions 14, 19, 21, 22, and 23, and we refer you to the Party’s positions.)
