Since 2000, we’ve elected just three people to three or more terms, all for good reasons. We've voted out incumbents after a single term — including one of Measure E’s authors — also for good reasons. Three members of the current council are in their first terms.

Don't be fooled by Measure E. Term limits sound good, but a study covering all 50 states found that forcing out experienced lawmakers hands power to unelected staff and paid lobbyists. Laguna Beach voters should decide who serves, not an arbitrary rule.

Prop 43 needs only 50 percent plus one statewide to pass. Then it forces your town, your fire district, and your school district to hit 66.7 percent. Top money: a business PAC funded by Trump backer Peter Thiel. NO on 43.

CALIFORNIA BALLOT • NOVEMBER 3, 2026
VOTE NO ON PROP 43
66% YES. STILL FAILS.
Prop 43 makes local tax measures that voters put on the ballot need two thirds to pass, not a majority.

Prop 40 taxes billionaires who lived in California on January 1, 2026. Prop 42 blocks new taxes starting on that exact date. That is not a coincidence. Vote NO on 42 to protect the billionaire tax. #NoOn42 #YesOn40 #California cadem.org/endorsements/ @cademocrats.bsky.social

CALIFORNIA BALLOT • NOVEMBER 3, 2026
VOTE NO ON PROP 42
If Prop 42 gets more yes votes than Prop 40, it could block the billionaire tax even if Prop 40 passes.
Google billionaire Sergey Brin gave
$122 million
this to the group behind Props 41 and 42. State filings show it.
JANUARY1, 2026
1.3 million
Prop 40 taxes billionaires who lived in California on this date. Prop 42 blocks new taxes starting on this same date.
Californians could lose Medi-Cal under Trump's cuts. Prop 40 sends 90 percent of its money to health care.
READ THE FINE PRINT
Prop 42 voids any measure on the same ballot that conflicts with it, if Prop 42 gets more yes votes.
California does not tax you today just for owning stocks or savings. Prop 40 mostly leaves retirement accounts alone.

Americans have voted by mail since Lincoln's reelection in 1864. Soldiers, seniors, disabled and rural voters have counted on it ever since. Trump calls it fraud, then uses it. Do not let him talk you out of your ballot.

You cannot hack a mail-in ballot.
You can't keep a mail-in ballot in line all day.
You can't tell a mail-in ballot the machines aren't working.
You can't send armed men to watch a mail-in ballot.
You can't erase a mail-in ballot with a power outage.
You can't lose a mail-in ballot.
You can track it like a package.
Trump has voted by mail himself. He knows it works.
Trump does not want to stop cheating. Trump wants to stop counting. "Find 11,780 votes..."
This is why Trump is so
DESPERATE to stop mail-in voting.
