During the podcast, Garamendi spoke of his opposition to most propositions to be decided in November. In fact, he only expressed support for three props: 1, 3 and 12. All three are bond measures.
Here are his positions:
- Prop 1A – Support
- Prop 2 – Oppose
- Prop 3 – Support
- Prop 4 – Oppose
- Prop 5 – Oppose
- Prop 6 – Oppose
- Prop 7 – No Position
- Prop 8 – Oppose
- Prop 9 – Oppose
- Prop 10 – Oppose
- Prop 11 – Oppose
- Prop 12 – Support
Analysis: Classic Garamendi
John Garamendi has been running for Governor ever since he became Lieutenant Governor. He even wanted to run in the 2003 recall election when he was Insurance Commissioner but was pressured out by Democratic Leadership.
His angle has always been to dramatically increase spending for education, infrastructure and social services; therefore, it isn’t surprising to see he supports bonds for just those things: Props 1A and 3 are infrastructure spending and Prop 12 is for Veterans Services.
