They’re calling it the “silver tsunami” and it’s the reason why homecare—in-home support for the elderly, the sick and people with disabilities—is the fastest growing industry in America. In California alone there are 372,000 homecare providers taking care of 448,000 people through the state’s In-Home Supportive Services (IHSS) program.

    Page 1 Introduction! Hello, and welcome to the DSA-LA Electoral Politics committee’s voter guide to the elections on June 5, 2018. There’s a lot to vote for this year, so we decided to do the research on every contested race on the ballot so you could know who and what you’re voting for when you mark those little dots in the polling booth. Given the huge number of races pertinent to LA county, we decided to create a cheat sheet with our recommendations—many of which represent “lesser evil” calculations. Only Gayle McLaughlin for Lieutenant Governor and Steve Dunwoody for Assembly District 54 have been endorsed by DSA-LA as a whole, so please don’t take these suggestions as the recommendation of the entire chapter—these are just what a few dedicated DSA members in the Electoral Politics committee came up with after hours of researching the races through a pragmatic leftist lens. If you scroll down to a particular race, you’ll see that the information provided varies slightly between races—this was a long and communal effort, but we decided to share as much information as seemed useful for you to make a considered choice. Often, we omitted Republican or Libertarian candidates—if you’re reading this, we don’t imagine you’d vote for them anyway—and occasionally we limited our research to the candidates with a decent chance of winning. Table of Contents Page 2 You might also notice that many of these races are either literally or practically uncontested, or that most of the candidates seem bland, hazily defined, and mildly corrupt.
