Voters in California who live more than 50 miles from a USPS regional mail center must mail their VBM ballots AT LEAST ONE DAY BEFORE ELECTION DAY to ensure they're postmarked on time and counted. Ballots mailed on ED will be postmarked the following day, making them ineligible.

Who will get elected to represent you and your community in government?

A YES vote means California will temporarily use new Congressional maps drawn by Democratic state officials to elect Congressional representatives in 2026, 2028 and 2030.

Troops stand guard without pay.

MAGA Mike Johnson has the Republican Congress on vacation while families lose healthcare.

Democrats are in DC fighting to save the ACA & pay for our military families.

I just signed legislation allowing the 800,000 rideshare workers in California to unionize.

California is determined to give working people a voice, to give them choice, give them dignity, and give them a say about their future.

Governor Newsom signs legislation allowing for rideshare workers in California to unionize.

Republicans shut down the government to gut healthcare and bankroll Trump’s illegal power grab. We must hold the GOP accountable for causing chaos just to appease a wannabe king. app.sosha.ai/s/8uRs2HDG

People of Illinois, we need your help.

Get your cell phones out – record what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors.

We need to let the world know this is happening – and that we won’t stand for it.

We can't afford to be violent that's what they want. Can we all just quit working. Quit buying. Speak out to everyone about why voting matters and why waiting for the perfect candidate to vote for opened the door to a 34 count felon. Can we care about democracy?
