JUDGES: The Editor of this publication feels that politicizing our Judicial 
by subjecting them to election by the public is unconscionable since even 
the most astute political followers have very little information on the 
qualifications of the Judge. TV Ads and Commercials are limited to those 
who can afford it, and by the way, to run a campaign, it costs more than a 
Judges annual salary. Our society might be better served if we developed 
a process whereby Judges are selected by their peers or legal organizations 
who are well aware of the ‘candidates’ background and abilities. That being 
said, MVNews is endorsing the following candidates for Judge:

 Office No. 39 George Turner

 Office No. 48 Erica Wong

 Office No. 97 La Shae Henderson (No Relation) 

 Office No. 135 Steven Yee Mac

 Office No. 137 Tracey M, Blount

STATE MEASURES:

2 YES - BOND FOR SCHOOLS

3 YES - RIGHT TO MARRY 

4 YES DRINKING WATER/FIRE REVENTION

5 YES AFFORDABLE HOUSE

6 YES INCARCERATE LABOR

32 NO MINIMUM WAGE

33 YES RENT CONTROL

34 NO PRESCRIPTION DRUGS

35 YES MEDICAL FUNDING

36 YES INCRESAED SENTENCING 

COUNTY MEASURES:

MEASURE A YES

A "yes" vote supports repealing the Measure H tax and replacing it with a 
sales tax of 0.5% with revenue going to affordable housing, mental health 
and addiction treatment, and services to children, families, veterans, 
domestic violence survivors, seniors, and disabled people experiencing 
homelessness.

MEASURE G NO

Shall the measure amending the Los Angeles County Charter to create 
an elected County Executive; create an independent Ethics Commission 
to increase restrictions on lobbying and investigate misconduct; establish 
a nonpartisan Legislative Analyst to review proposed County policies; 
increase the Board of Supervisors from five to nine elected members; 
require County departments to present annual budgets in public meetings; 
using existing funding sources with no additional taxes to implement, as 
detailed in the charter amendment ordinance, be adopted?
