This independent guide covers ballot measures and selected candidate contests for both locations. District boundaries determine your complete ballot. Candidate descriptions identify parties or ballot occupations; they are not a full assessment of policy platforms. Candidate statements are self-authored claims, not official endorsements. Summaries are paraphrases, not legal text or endorsements. Campaign claims and analytical tradeoffs are labeled. An argument’s appearance in an official pamphlet does not make it an election office’s position.

Measure research: October 16, 2026. Chronicle endorsements last checked October 23, 2026. Scheduled checks publish verified endorsement changes through November 4; this is not a live feed. Follow the official links for corrections, full legal text, fiscal analysis and rebuttals.
