One of the reasons why I think that everyone reading the Flashreport should help Tom McClintock in his campaign for Liuetenant Governor of California is McClintock's strong, decisive leadership on policy issues both in the legislature, and before Californians on the ballot.
Back in early August, Senator McClintock took positions on every matter on the November election and listed all of his positions (along with explanations for them) on his campaign website.
I took the opportunity to take a look at the website of Tom McClintock's opponent, John Garamendi, to see where he stands on the statewide ballot measures -- and there was nothing there. You can't even tell from his site if he has a position on Proposition 83, the Jessica's Law measure!
But Garamendi is in good company as I meandered through the websites of our Republican candidates for statewide office. Apparently from my quick review, Tom McClintock is the only major party candidate running who is sharing positions on all of the measures on the November ballot -- and in fact has placed a very prominent link on the home page of his website to his ballot measure positions so his supporters can get his input before voting.
I don't agree with every one of McClintock's positions (well, I agree with all but one -- he is voting for Proposition 1E, the Levee Bonds, and I am voting no) -- but I most admire that he taken public positions on all of the measures. I will list them below -- and challenge other candidates to send me their positions so I can post them as well. I'd especially like to hear from John Garamendi on Jessica's Law...
How will Tom McClintock be voting on the ballot measures?
Prop. 1A Transportation Funding Protection: YES!
Prop. 1B Transportation Bond: NO!
Prop. 1C Housing Bond: NO!
Prop. 1D Education Bond: NO!
Prop. 1E Levee Bond: YES!
Prop. 83 Jessica’s Law: YES!
Prop. 84 Park Bond: NO!
Prop. 85 Parental Notification: YES!
Prop. 86 Cigarette Tax: NO!
Prop. 87 Oil Tax: NO!
Prop. 88 Parcel Tax: NO!
Prop. 89 Taxpayer Funding of Campaigns: NO!
Prop. 90 Protect Our Homes: YES!

Dan, Have you been peeking at my absentee ballot again? My position is the same as yours... I agree with Tom McC's recommendation except for 1E.
Cheers!
Mark
Could you please share more on your views? Thanks. :o)

I haven't seen any polling numbers on Tom - do you have any? I hope he wins!
I really hope Tom McClintock wins the lieutenant governorship. That would make me happy.
"I haven't seen any polling numbers on Tom - do you have any? I hope he wins!"
Yep. The latest Field Poll and LA Times poll found it a dead heat. The Times Poll had McClintock ahead by a point and I think the Field Poll had Garamendi ahead by 2 points or something. But it's an absolute dead heat.
Good sign for conservatism in a state like California . . .
Thanks for posting. Glad to see our next Lt. Gov. get out in front of the issues. Off topic, any sites you can recommend regarding judicial confirmation? We have got a long list on the ballot and I am not finding good resources to evaluate their performance.
What county are you in?
Thanks for the post and the ping. I have not paid much attention to the props this year. Tom's positions are always a good guide for me.
