Ford Presidential Library THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON June 2, 1976 MEMORANDUM FOR: KAY PULLEN \~ FROM: MILT MITLER ~ SUBJECT: "Marienda" at Monterey, California on June 5, 1976 The "Marienda" is an annual celebration com­ memorating the establishment of the City of Monterey, California. On June 5, 1976 they will celebrate their 206th anniversary. The event is sponsored by the Monterey History and Art Association, Mr. Raymond Smith, President (408-624-1593). Attendees will be only History and Art Association members - about 750. The event will be held in the Pacific Building near Fisherman's Wharf (buildings belong to the State Parks and Fisheries Administration). It starts at 12:00 noon with a reception and barbeque. Among the special guests will be "La Favorita", the Queen of the event who comes from an old line California family, and her princesses and a Duena and Mayor Peter Coneiglio along with the Spanish Counsel General from San Francisco. Following lunch there is a cake cutting ceremony and entertainment. This is a colorful and festive occasion which has been in existance for about 25 years. It is not a Bicentennial event. Rep. Paul (Pete) Mccloskey, who represents California's 12th District, was first elected in 1967 to fill the seat left vacant by the death of Rep. Arthur Younger. The GOP primary attracted attention that year, because Mccloskey defeated Shirley Temple Black. Mccloskey has had tough primary fights either election since. He first attracted national attention on the war issue, and in 1972 challenged President Nixon in the New Hampshire primary. He also spoke out early on Watergate. The 12th (it has been redistricted since his first election) is basically a Democratic district, where George McGovern got 49 percent of the vote in 1972. The district includes high-income, liberal leaning Menlo Park, Palo Alto, where Stanford is located, and the suburbs of Portola Valley and Woodside. It also includes ro me middle-cass factory suburbs. The ecology movement has been strong in this area. In 1974, President Ford helped McCloskey's campaign, a favor he returned in New Hampshire. He graduated from Stanford University and is a He is the father of two sons and two daughters. -0- Rep. Burt Talcott, a Republican from California 1 s 16 District, was first elected to Congress in 1962. The district is noted for its scenic beauty, including the Monterey cypresses at Carmel's Pebble Beach and the mountainous Big Sur coast. The 16th also contains some of the nation•s richest farmland, including the lettuce fields of the Salinas Valley and the artichoke fields near Watsonville. Talcott is from Salinas as was the late John Steinbeck. More than eight percent of the District's voters are college students from California State Polytechnic in San Luis Obispo or the University of California branch at Santa Cruz. Talcott, considered by the Almanac of American Politics as one of the most strait-laced members of Congress, is a member of the Appropriations Committee. In 1972 and 1974, Talcott has had a tough fight with a Mexican-American candidate. In 1974, Talcott was the target of liberal and environmental groups, but won a narrow (2,000 vote} victory. He is married and has one son, an Air Force Captain. He graduated from Stanford University and is a lawyer. -0- Rep. Shirley Pettis, who was elected to fill her husband's seat after his death in a plane crash, represents California's 37th District. The district is one of the largest geographically in the country. It includes all of San Bernardino County (20,000 Square Miles) and most of Riverside County. It stretches almost from the ocean to the Colorado River. The district includes upper-income parts of San Bernardino and its suburb of Redlands and Palm Springs and other desert towns with heavy populations of retired people. Mrs. Pettis won more than 50 percent of the vote in a field of Democrats and Republicans in the special election, but it is expected she will have difficulty retaining the seat. Mrs. Pettis, a 7th Day Adventist, had managed the family ranch and helped operate Magentic Tape Duplicators Co. and Audio Digest Foundation before her election to Congress. She has two children, a son and a daughter. She was active in the Congressional Wives Club and the Congressional Wives Prayer Group. is divided between two Congressional districts, the 8th and the 9th. Both are represented by Democrats. Rep. Bonald Dellums represents the 8th District, which includes ®akx.amixs the north Oakland black ghetto. Dellums, a former social worker and Berkley city councilman, was first elected in 1972. Rep. Forney (Pete) Stark, who also was first elected in 1972, represents the 9th District. This district includes the suburbs of Oakland and the East Bay area across from San Francisco. Stark, a wealthy banker and former board member of Common Cause, is a member of the Ways and Means Committee. The Oakland Tribune is still owned by the family of the late Republican Sen. William F.

  • Open Primaries and Top Two Elections: Proposition 14 on California’S June 2010 Ballot
    Open Primaries and Top Two Elections: Proposition 14 on California’s June 2010 Ballot by Molly Milligan OPEN PRIMARIES AND TOP TWO ELECTIONS: PROPOSITION 14 ON CALIFORNIA’S JUNE 2010 BALLOT By Molly Milligan Center for Governmental Studies ForewordForewordForeword The Center for Governmental Studies (CGS) has studied California governance issues for more than 25 years. This study, “Open Primaries and Top Two Elections: Proposition 14 on California’s June 2010 Ballot,” began shortly after its provisions were passed by the Legislature as part of the budget deal on February 20, 2009. In a compromise that broke a stalemate that had persisted for six months, the Legislature gained the vote of Republican Senator Abel Maldonado to pass the budget (needed to achieve a two-thirds majority) in exchange for placing his proposal to change the election system in California on the June 2010 ballot. Maldonado’s proposal is now known as Proposition 14. It would require the use of open primaries in elections for state and most federal officials. Under such a system, a voter can vote for any candidate running for a particular office regardless of his or her party affiliation or that of the candidates; the top two vote getters in the primary, and no other candidates, contest a general election run off to determine the winner of each seat. CGS examined the possible electoral outcomes under such a system, using voter registration and participation data, and campaign finance information. We believe our study provides a fascinating snapshot of California voters in 2010 and presents valuable information to help voters determine how to vote on this important issue.
