For this midterm election, it is crucially important to voters to show up at the polls.  There needs to be a strong voter turnout to send a message that American voters are paying attention, engaged and want their voices heard.  NBLC is pleased to announce our endorsements for this November’s election:

NO on Proposition 6:  Repeals the 2017 fuel tax and vehicle fee increases (SB 1) to fund road, bridge and highway repairs and requires a public vote on future increases. If passed, it would remove funding for the Marin/Sonoma Narrows, local road improvements and impact safety.

NO on Proposition 10:  Repeals the Costa-Hawkins Rental Housing Act and allows local governments to enact rent control.  If passed, it would depress future housing construction and worsen the housing crisis.
