These things show up in mailboxes every year, but since some people are still fooled by them, let me set the record straight.
The “Voter Information Guide for Democrats” is NOT the Democratic Party’s slate card. This misleading piece of junk comes out of a political consulting firm in Sherman Oaks, where hack Larry Levine has been using it for years to trick voters. There are no real endorsements here; the piece is a giant campaign ad, a for-profit operation where endoermsements are either for sale to the highest bidder or just stuck on there randomly to give credibility to the paid positions.
This year’s card says No on H; the Democratic Party has endorsed Yes on H. But PG&E paid a lot of money to be on the card, so the card carries PG&E position.
Ignore it. Toss it in the recycling bin. Vote Yes on H.
