ENDORSEMENTSRemember to vote June 5. To assure timely delivery, mail ballots by June 1!
Politics is important to all of us, but to healthcare workers in particular, since government funds and regulates healthcare. Many of the issues that aff ect us are decided by elected leaders. And those elected offi ce holders can help us in our workplaces. These endorsements were voted on by NUHW stewards and leaders in each district after interviewing candidates and reviewing their platforms.

PROPOSITIONS
Proposition 68: California Drought, Water, Parks, Climate, Coastal Protection, and Outdoor Access For All Act of 2018.Would authorize $4 billion in general obligation bonds for state and local parks, environmental protection and restoration projects, water infrastructure projects, and fl ood protection projects. Assuming a 3.5 percent interest rate over a 30-year period, the bond issue would generate $2.53 billion in interest, meaning the state would spend $6.53 billion to pay off the bond issue.
Proposition 69: Motor vehicle fees and taxes: restriction on expenditures: appropriations limit. Would require that revenue from the diesel sales tax and Transportation Improvement Fee (TIF) be dedicated for transportation-related purposes. As of 2018, the state constitution prohibited the Legislature from using gasoline excise tax revenue or diesel excise tax revenue for general non-transportation purposes. The amendment would require the diesel sales tax revenue to be deposited into the Public Transportation Account, which was designed to distribute funds for mass transportation and rail systems. Proposition 69 would require the TIF revenue be spent on public streets and highways and public transportation systems.
Proposition 70: Greenhouse Gas Reduction Reserve Fund. Would require a one-time two-thirds vote in each chamber of the Legislature to use revenue from the State Air Resources Board’s auctioning or sale of greenhouse gas emissions allowances under the state’s cap-and-trade program.
Proposition 71: Ballot Measures — Eff ective Date. Would move the effective date of ballot propositions from the day after the election to the fifth day after the secretary of state certifies the election results, which occurs no later than the 38th day after the election.
Proposition 72: Property Tax, New Construction Exclusion: Rain Water Capture System. Would allow the Legislature to exclude rainwater capture systems added to properties after January 1, 2019, from counting as new construction.
GOVERNOR — Gavin NewsomGavin Newsom is uniquely well-placed to move us forward and achieve Health Care for All. As mayor of San Francisco, Newsom executed a fi rst-in-the-nation program to provide universal access to health care for city residents. He understands the challenges of expanding coverage and has a track-record of building consensus to get the job done.
