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.

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.

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. www.alansreynolds.com C0001327103 -ENG LA 174-031 STATEMENT OF JEFFREY PRANG CANDIDATE FOR ASSESSOR Age: 56 Occupation: Los Angeles County Assessor The Los Angeles County Business Federation and the Los Angeles County Federation of Labor agree: JEFFREY PRANG IS AN EXCELLENT COUNTY ASSESSOR.

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.

SHELLEY LUCE Water Scientist/President and CEO Heal the Bay M00005866ENG-3 LA 174-036 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. TERESA CASAZZA President & CEO STUART WALDMAN President, VICA BILL LA MARR Executive Director M00005866ENG-4 LA 174-037 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.

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.
