WHICH CA STATE CANDIDATES TO VOTE AND SUPPORT?
With a few weeks to go to the primaries, and many in CA voting by mail, it
is important we do all we can for those candidates that support California
Health Rights.
As non-profit, A Voice for Choice Advocacy cannot endorse a candidate or
tell you who to vote for. However, Christina and a few others have created
a Candidate Support Guide and Voter Guide identifying the candidates who
will further California Health Rights and vaccine choice, and those who will
not. We recommend you check out California Families for Health Rights
(www.cafamiliesforhealthrights.org
<[link removed]> ) to help determine who you
should vote for and who you should support with your time and money.
Important Note: There are only a handful of races in the California Assembly
and Senate elections that are competitive and whose results will change the
trajectory of CA Health Rights and Vaccine Choice. All districts are listed
for voting purposes in the California Families for Health Rights Voter Guide
([link removed]
ide), BUT if you wish to contribute your money and/or time, we recommend you
to contribute specifically to those identified by CA Families for Health
Rights (* <[link removed]>

to our cause, even if they are not in your district. For more xxxxxxrmation

You will also see there are many districts without a candidates identified.
If you identify candidates in your district for State Assembly or Senate who
support Health Rights and Vaccine Choice, please enter them here:

Financial donations to support candidates.
The limit for individual campaign donations for CA Senators or Assembly
Members is $4,700 per candidate, per year. Donations can be made to
candidates in any district. AVFCA recommends you donate to their campaigns
directly, with a note specifically saying "Donated in the interest of
California Families for Health Rights". This will amplify your individual
donation, as it groups all donations made to a candidate under one umbrella
statement, making them realize that the mission is an important one in
getting them elected.
Volunteering to support candidates
Get in touch with the candidate or their campaign office and find out how
you can volunteer your time. This may include:
* Registering people to vote
* Precinct walking
* Canvassing
* Phone banking
* Helping with candidate meet and greets
* Putting together yard signs
* Data entry
* Social medial posts
* And much more
Only 25% of those who live in a district vote in the primary, so it is very
possible to sway primary elections. California State Senate and Assembly
primaries put through the two candidates who greatest number of votes rather
than the candidates from the two parties with the greatest votes. This is
unique to CA and is the reason why we have a super-Democrat majority because
democrats are running against democrats in most districts, and also the
reason we have to find and educate Democrats on the issue. If you want to
