STATEMENT OF JUDY CHU
PARTY PREFERENCE: DEMOCRATIC
UNITED STATES REPRESENTATIVE, 27th DISTRICT
I'm honored to serve the people of the 27th Congressional District, and
respectfully request your vote. I am running for re-election to Congress in
orderto:
Reduce traffic gridlock by ensuring the completion of the Gold Line to
Claremont, Montclair and the Ontario Airport.
Bring iobs to this district. Two out of three news jobs are created by small
businesses, and that is why, as a member of the House Small Business
Committee, I brought two Small Business Development Centers to this area,
and improved the ability for small businesses to get loans.
Establish a Veterans Health Clinic in the San Gabriel Valley. It is not right
that our veterans have to travel long distances to get basic healthcare.
Protect the San Gabriel Mountains as a natural and recreational
resource. I worked to get President Obama to declare them a national
monument, and successfully defended them when the current administration
proposed removing the designation. Now we need to ensure the successful
completion of the plans that will provide permanent improvements to these
mountains with better trails, signage and a visitor's center.
Stop the opioid crisis. To stop the senseless deaths, I have introduced bills to
improve the quality of sober living homes, to provide non -drug alternatives to
opioids and to increase psychology services to those in recovery.
I'm supported by the California Teachers Association, National Nurses
United, California Association of Highway Patrolmen, Sierra Club, Pasadena
Firefighters Association, and Planned Parenthood Action Fund.
I'd be honored to have your support, too.

REPRESENTANTE DE ESTADOS UNIDOS, 27° DISTRITO
Tengo el honor de servir a las personas del 27° Distrito del Congreso, y
respetuosamente les pido su voto. Me postulo para la reeleccion al Congreso
para realizar to siguiente:
Reducir la paralizacion del trafico asegurando la finalizacion de la Gold
Line hacia Claremont, Montclair y el Aeropuerto de Ontario.
Atraer trabaios a este distrito. Dos de cada tres nuevos empleos son creados
por pequenas empresas, y es por eso, como miembro del Comite de Pequenas
Empresas de la Camara, traje dos Centros de Desarrollo de Pequenas
Empresas a esta area, y mejore la capacidad para que las pequenas empresas
obtengan prestamos.
Establecer una Clinica de Salud para Veteranos en San Gabriel Valley.
No esta bien que nuestros veteranos tengan que viajar largas distancias para
obtener cuidados de la salud basicos.
Proteeer las Montanas de San Gabriel como un recurso natural v
recreativo. Trabaje para que el Presidente Obama las declare un monumento
nacional, y las defendi exitosamente cuando la administracion actual propuso
eliminar la designacion. Ahora debemos asegurar que se completen
exitosamente los planes que proveeran mejoras permanentes a estas montanas
con mejores sendas y letreros, y un centro de visitantes.
Detener la crisis de ovioides. Para detener las muertes sin sentido, he
presentado proyectos de ley para mejorar la calidad de los hogares para vivir
sobrios, para proveer alternativas sin drogas a los opioides y para aumentar
los servicios psicologicos para las personas en recuperacion.
Cuento con el respaldo de la Asociacion de Maestros de California, de
Enfermeros Unidos a Nivel Nacional, de la Asociacion de Miembros de
Patrullas de Carreteras de California, del Club Sierra, de la Asociacion de
Bomberos de Pasadena y del Planned Parenthood Action Fund (Fondo de

STATEMENT OF ALAN S. REYNOLDS
PARTY PREFERENCE: NONE
MEMBER OF THE STATE ASSEMBLY, 41st DISTRICT
We live in the greatest district in the country. At least it should be. We should
be the hub of innovation, technology, next generation jobs and development,
driven by the best Universities in the world, located right here (CalTech,
Harvey Mudd, etc) and JPL next door. Tech/idea transfer for our future should
be high priority.
Our legislators should spend more time integrated with the people of their
districts. I propose less time (2 days a week, 25 weeks a year) in Sacramento
with cronies, lobbyists, and courting donors; more time listening and
responding with everyday people.
Do you want an engineering based problem solving mentality, focused on
listening, representing, and developing collaborative solutions? Innovating?
An Independent, I'm focused solely on issues affecting our everyday lives and
futures and the people of our district, not Sacramento cronyism. This is
possible, here. We're 56% 3rd Party/NPP/Republican, 12%+ (June Primary)
anti-establishment Democrat (even more for Bernie), so most of us (68%+ at
least) are ready for a different perspective, we just have to vote for it.
A former City Commissioner, a Real-estate Agent with a small local broker,
Real Estate Heaven, and an Engineer who has worked with innovation, my
hands-on focus is our housing, next -gen jobs, and local economy for the next
2 years.
Now is the time. Time for a different way of looking at things. Time to look
past party brands which seem to define less and less. Time for direct input and
people driven solutions.

STATEMENT OF JIM MCDONNELL
CANDIDATE FOR SHERIFF
Age: 58
Occupation: Los Angeles County Sheriff
Sheriff Jim McDonnell started as a neighborhood police officer and rose
through the ranks, rising to second -in command at LAPD and then becoming
Chief of Long Beach Police before being elected Los Angeles County Sheriff.
He knows first-hand that Sheriffs deputies must listen to and respect the
residents they serve. McDonnell is focused on developing closer relationships
between deputies and the community, because improving communication will
build trust to create safer neighborhoods.
Sheriff McDonnell was elected four years ago after the former Sheriff, who
was convicted in a corruption scandal, resigned in disgrace. McDonnell's
top -to -bottom reforms have ushered in a new era of accountability and
transparency; he worked with the Supervisors to establish the Civilian
Oversight Commission. McDonnell provides public access to data on
use -of -force and deputy -involved shootings, and has empowered the Internal
Affairs Bureau to investigate misconduct and address problems within the
Department.
That is why Sheriff Jim McDonnell is supported by a bipartisan coalition
including Los Angeles County District Attorney Jackie Lacey, Los Angeles
Mayor Eric Garcetti, County Supervisors Hilda Solis, Kathryn Barger and
Janice Hahn, and former Los Angeles Mayor Richard Riordan. They have
seen up -close how McDonnell has worked to reform the Sheriffs
Department, and they know he is the honest, open, and effective law
enforcement leader we need.
C0001332005 -ENG LA 174-033
IMPARTIAL ANALYSIS OF MEASURE W
By Mary C. Wickham, County Counsel
Approval of Measure W ("Measure") would authorize the Los Angeles
County Flood Control District ("District") to levy a special tax ("Tax")
annually on parcels within the District, which encompasses cities and
unincorporated areas of the County, beginning with fiscal year 2019-20, and
continuing until ended by the voters. The Tax shall be levied at a rate of
2.5 cents per square foot of impermeable area, except as exempted.
Impermeable area is area covered by materials or constructed surfaces such as
buildings, driveways, concrete, pools and other hardscaped areas.
Impermeable area does not include vegetated and other natural permeable
areas where water penetrates through the ground. The Measure was placed on
the ballot by resolution of the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors
(`Board"), acting also as the governing body of the District on July 17, 2018.
If passed, the Tax is estimated to generate $300,000,000 annually.
Proceeds from the Tax shall be used to fund projects and programs consistent
with the expenditure plan in an ordinance ("Ordinance") amending the
District Code establishing the Los Angeles Region, Safe, Clean Water
Program. The Ordinance shall become effective only if the Tax is passed.
Projects include, but are not limited to; increasing stormwater capture and
reducing urban runoff pollution which may increase water supply; improve
water quality; and provide community investment benefits as defined in the
Ordinance.
An independent Regional Oversight Committee consisting of subject matter
experts shall prepare progress reports on whether the goals of the Measure are
met, and submit recommendations to the Board. The Board shall cause
independent financial audits to be conducted to determine compliance with
the terms of the Ordinance. All Tax funds shall be deposited in a special
account. The County Auditor -Controller shall file an annual report with the
Board stating the amount of funds collected pursuant to the Ordinance.
The Auditor -Controller shall place the tax on the secured roll, and the County
Treasurer and Tax Collector ("Treasurer") shall collect the Tax for fiscal year
2019-20 and subsequent fiscal years at the same time, in the same manner,
and subject to the same penalties and interest as for ad valorem taxes collected
on behalf of the County. All laws and procedures regarding exemptions, due
dates, installment payments, corrections, cancellations, refunds, late
payments, liens, penalties, and collections for the secured -roll ad valorem
property taxes shall apply to the Tax. All property that is otherwise exempt or
partially exempt from ad valorem property taxes shall also be exempt from the
Tax in such year. Additionally, upon application, low income senior -owned
Parcels may be exempt. The District shall establish and administer a Tax
appeals process.
This Measure requires a two-thirds (2/3) vote for passage.
M00005866ENG-1 LA 174-034
ARGUMENT IN FAVOR OF MEASURE W
YES ON W.
Water is life. Yet in Los Angeles County, water is scarce and much of it is
polluted.
MEASURE W creates the Safe, Clean Water Program, a comprehensive
action plan to increase local water supplies, clean up contaminated water to
protect public health and the environment, and prepare our region for drought.
Every year more than 100 billion gallons of rainwater flow down our gutters
and out to the ocean. Wasted. Measure W will modernize Los Angeles
County's outdated water infrastructure to capture and save more rainwater,
enough for more than 2.5 million people – one quarter of our County's
population.
Polluted stormwater exposes our kids and neighborhoods to toxins, results in
beach closures after every rainstorm, and makes people sick. Measure W will
protect public health by keeping trash, liquid toxins, and infection -causing
bacteria out of local waters.
Extreme heat and more frequent and severe droughts are the new normal.
Measure W will help us prepare for future droughts by capturing more
water when it does rain.
Thousands of tons of trash—everything from plastics to cigarette butts to
syringes—enter our storm drains, flow out to sea, and wash onto our beaches,
killing thousands of dolphins, birds, and other marine life. Measure W will
protect Los Angeles County rivers, lakes, bays, and beaches by reducing
stormwater pollution.
Measure W includes strict accountability requirements, including an
independent oversight committee and independent annual audits. All revenue
will be spent on local projects to improve our local water quality and increase
our local water supplies.
The time to act is now. Let's ensure our children and grandchildren have the
clean water they need – before the opportunity dries up.

REBUTTAL TO ARGUMENT IN FAVOR OF MEASURE W
Vote NO on Measure W.
Absolutely amazing. The proponents make a lot of unsupported claims and
avoid telling you what Measure W really is. A brand new parcel tax to the
tune of $300,000,000 a year. That will last FOREVER! On your home and
the businesses of LA County. They don't even tell you how much you will
actually have to pay in brand-new taxes. Why are they hiding this
information? Or are they afraid to even mention it?
And you will be taxed for what? Not one project is listed. Where is the "plan"
they claim to have for your money? When will any project be built? Without
any information, how can you have any idea what you might get for sending
in your hard-earned money?
So, not only do you not know how much this brand-new parcel tax will cost
you, you have no idea what this permanent tax will accomplish. Just send in
more of your money and trust the bureaucrats to spend it wisely? We have
heard that before and know it does not work. So don't be fooled again.
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.
It is well known we have an affordable housing crisis, a homelessness crisis,
over 25% of our people living in poverty, struggling small businesses, and
some of the highest tax rates in the country, so this is not the time for another
permanent parcel tax.
Join community leaders, taxpayers and small businesses -- Vote NO on
Measure W.

ARGUMENT AGAINST MEASURE W
Stop the Forever Rain Tax. Vote NO on Measure W.
The Board of Supervisors wants to raise your taxes, again!
HOW MANY TAXES ARE ENOUGH?
We already pay the nation's highest income, sales and gasoline taxes! The
politicians added a parcel tax in 2016; are proposing this tax in 2018 and are
planning more increases for 2020. When will it stop?
This rain tax on your property will add $300,000,000 to local tax bills. They
claim it will clean up dirty storm water and generate more water local supply.
No one would argue with those goals, but this is not the proposal to get that
done.
The problem is there are:
No projects,
No plan,
No schedule,
No guarantees, and
No end to the tax.
The politicians are merely saying, "Give us the money and we'll figure out
what to do with it later."
Living and working in Los Angeles County is already out of reach for most
residents; homelessness is the highest in the nation, transportation is
gridlocked, and the County wants to make it worse by increasing the cost of
living and adding yet another forever tax.
And this tax is only on private property owners. Major publicly owned
sources of pollution won't pay a dime of this tax; ports and airports are
tax-free! It doesn't just rain on private property. This tax should be the
responsibility of every source of pollution, not just the individual homeowners
and businesses of Los Angeles County.
WE ALREADY PAY FOR CLEAN WATER
The politicians are taking advantage of the drought to raise our taxes. But
local, state and federal laws already protect our waterways and oceans from
climate change, and we pay for water sustainability, storage and conservation.
This tax proposal simply isn't ready. Vote NO on Measure W

REBUTTAL TO ARGUMENT AGAINST MEASURE W
We can't afford to stick our heads in the sand. Water is scarce in our
area - and drought, pollution, and a century -old system threaten our water
supply.
Here are the facts:
Yes on W will benefit every community in Los Angeles County by
implementing local, priority projects to capture more water and clean up
sources of drinking water.
Yes on W means guaranteed local control of all funds, with independent
oversight and public audits.
Yes on W will fund specific projects identified and designed by clean water
experts.
Yes on W will implement a comprehensive action plan supported by public
health professionals, community leaders, businesses, environmental groups,
homeowners, teachers and firefighters.
Read the plan for yourself. safecleanwaterLA.org
Yes on W will remove toxins and trash from neighborhoods, rivers, and
streams throughout Los Angeles County including the Los Angeles River,
San Gabriel River, Rio Hondo and Santa Clara rivers; Malibu and Ballona
creeks; Dominguez Channel, Arroyo Seco, Tujunga Wash, Santa Monica Bay,
San Pedro Bay, and our iconic beaches and ocean.
Yes on W will help the economy by investing in solutions that make local
water supplies more reliable, helping our community and local businesses
weather the next drought. We can act now and pay a little, or watch the
problem get worse and pay a lot more later.
Yes on W means cleaner, safer water for our children, families, rivers, lakes,
bays, ocean, and marine life.
We need Yes on W now for a smarter water system and more secure water
future.

CANDIDATE FOR MEMBER OF THE CITY COUNCIL
CLAREMONT CITY GENERAL MUNICIPAL ELECTION
Age: 36
Occupation: Business Owner
My mother wrestled with mental health and addiction her entire life. She
didn't have much but before she passed, she opened a recovery home for
those in need. Inspired by her example, I left home using all of my savings to
travel the country, campaigning for the leaders our nation needed. Eventually
I found a new home in Claremont at Pitzer College. There I saw how I could
help the thousands of people I met who were struggling in a world stacked
against them. Since then, I have dedicated myself to serving underfunded
candidates in underserved communities. But serving my country, starts at
home in the community I love. As your council -member, I will fight to ensure
that you have: a roof over your head that you can afford, food on your plate,
and the opportunity to make the best of your talents; renewable energy that
reduces our carbon footprint; an innovative, tech -savvy government that taps
into one of our greatest assets -our college students; and a balanced city
budget, so that we have the resources needed to serve everyone who enjoys
and resides in our great city.

STATEMENT OF ZACH COURSER
CANDIDATE FOR MEMBER OF THE CITY COUNCIL
CLAREMONT CITY GENERAL MUNICIPAL ELECTION
Age: 41
Occupation: Professor/Commission Chair
I first arrived in Claremont in 1995, and feel fortunate to be part of such a
vibrant and welcoming community. As an educator, my passion is inspiring
students to public service careers. As a resident, I bring the same energy to
improving our city's governance. As Traffic and Transportation
Commissioner I have built a track record of accomplishments:
- When LA Metro attempted to eliminate our Metrolink stop, I led the effort
to alert residents to fight back and save it.
- Hearing residents' concerns about excessive train noise, I led the effort to
construct a Quiet Zone, improving safety and our quality of life at no cost
to the city.
Claremont faces challenges ahead, and I'm ready for the hard work to meet
them as a member of the City Council. If elected, I pledge to work with the
council and community to:
- Manage the extension of the Gold Line, and the development of the area
south of the Village, to ensure it serves our needs and fits the spirit of
Claremont.
- Balance the city budget—without overburdening residents or cutting vital
services—through broadening the tax base and seeking grant funding.
I humbly ask for your vote.

Claremont establishes itself as a leader in forging innovative, effective
