  • Congressman Ron Packard Joins Advisory Board
    The Lares Institute. For Release: September 26, 2011. For Release: 3:00 p.m. (EST) Hon. Ron Packard Joins Lares Institute Advisory Board September 26, 2011. The Honorable Ron Packard has been selected to join the advisory board of The Lares Institute, a think tank that researches issues related to emerging technology, information governance and legal process management. He joins Executive Director Andrew Serwin, and Senior Research Advisor, Dr. Larry Ponemon. “I am very pleased to have Congressman Packard join our advisory board, and to have the opportunity to work with him once again”, said Andrew Serwin, Executive Director of the Lares Institute. Congressman Ron Packard was first elected to Congress on November 2, 1982 by a write-in vote – only the fourth successful write-in candidate in the history of the United States Congress. Congressman Packard served for 18 years, representing the 48th District in Southern California. He routinely captured over 70 percent of the vote in his reelection campaigns. He retired from the Congress on January 3, 2001 and currently is the Senior Partner in Packard Government Affairs, a San Diego and Washington based consulting firm. Ron Packard was born on January 19, 1931 in Meridian, Idaho, where he spent his youth and attended high school. After studying at Brigham Young University and Portland State University, he entered the University of Oregon Dental School and received his D.M.D. degree in 1957. From 1957 to 1959, Packard was stationed at Camp Pendleton, California on duty with the U.S. Navy Dental Corps. Following his service in the Navy, he relocated his family and practice to the Carlsbad area and founded the Packard Dental Clinic.

  • Legislators of California
    The Legislators of California March 2011 Compiled by Alexander C. Vassar Dedicated to Jane Vassar For everything With Special Thanks To: Shane Meyers, Webmaster of JoinCalifornia.com For a friendship, a website, and a decade of trouble-shooting. Senator Robert D. Dutton, Senate Minority Leader Greg Maw, Senate Republican Policy Director For providing gainful employment that I enjoy. Gregory P. Schmidt, Secretary of the Senate Bernadette McNulty, Chief Assistant Secretary of the Senate Holly Hummelt , Senate Amending Clerk Zach Twilla, Senate Reading Clerk For an orderly house and the lists that made this book possible. E. Dotson Wilson, Assembly Chief Clerk Brian S. Ebbert, Assembly Assistant Chief Clerk Timothy Morland, Assembly Reading Clerk For excellent ideas, intriguing questions, and guidance. Jessica Billingsley, Senate Republican Floor Manager For extraordinary patience with research projects that never end. Richard Paul, Senate Republican Policy Consultant For hospitality and good friendship. Wade Teasdale, Senate Republican Policy Consultant For understanding the importance of Bradley and Dilworth. A Note from the Author An important thing to keep in mind as you read this book is that there is information missing. In the first two decades that California’s legislature existed, we had more individuals serve as legislators than we have in the last 90 years.1 Add to the massive turnover the fact that no official biographies were kept during this time and that the state capitol moved seven times during those twenty years, and you have a recipe for missing information. As an example, we only know the birthplace for about 63% of the legislators. In spite of my best efforts, there are still hundreds of legislators about whom we know almost nothing.

The maps show mail ballot precincts from the 2002 general election in selected portions of Orange and Alameda counties. Executive Summary Advocates of mail ballot elections predict that voting by mail will produce higher turnout and allow voters to become more informed. Our study tests these predictions by taking advantage of a “natural experiment” in which many California voters are assigned to vote by mail because they live in less populous precincts. By matching these mail ballot precincts with traditional polling place precincts that contain voters with similar demographic characteristics, we are able to observe the effects of voting by mail on comparable groups of voters taking part in the same elections. We find that: • Voting by mail does not increase turnout in presidential and gubernatorial general elections. In fact, turnout was 2.6 to 2.9 percentage points lower in mail ballot precincts, according to our analysis of two general elections held in representative samples of 18 and 9 counties. • Voters who cast their ballots by mail in general elections are more likely to skip downballot races, another finding that runs counter to the expectations of vote-by-mail advocates. • However, voting by mail appeared to bring an average 7.6 percentage point turnout increase in local special elections, which have much lower participation rates overall.
