CFRW Ballot Measure Positions

It's that time of year again! Election time! This November, we will be voting on 11 statewide ballot measures. The California Federation of Republican Women take official positions on each of the ballot measures, aiming to arm our members with the information and tools to educate voters across the state leading up to the election. In the coming weeks we will provide in-depth analysis and rationale on each of the 11 propositions, along with talking points, a "one-sheet", and pros/cons so that our members can efficiently and effectively educate Californians of their November ballot.

The CFRW reaches our official ballot measure positions through a consensus of our CFRW Voting Body. The Voting Body is made up of the State President, the three State Vice Presidents, and the three Division President's. Those seven women carefully consider research, analysis, and recommendations made to them by the CFRW Advocate and the Ballot Measures Analyst. After a consensus is made on each measure, so is our official position. Today, we will only be listing the 11 propositions and our CFRW positions. In weeks leading up to the election there will be more information made available to our members about the propositions and our positions as well. General Election Ballot Measures
