California LP activist Ted Brown has requested that libertarians "please
forward this to all LP lists in California."
The
Secretary of State has posted the certified list of candidates
for the June primary election:
There
are only 6 Libertarian candidates:
Attorney
General - Jonathan Jaech
CD 7 -
Art Tuma
CD 25
- David Koster Bruce
CD 33
- Mark Matthew Herd
CD 51
- Michael Benoit
AD 8 -
Janice Bonser
However,
it turns out that there are 21 offices where only one candidate
filed. It is now easy to qualify and run as a write-in
candidate. Between April 7 and May 20, you just need to collect
40 valid signatures from any registered voter in the district, and
you would become a certified write-in candidate. There is no
cost. If you receive more write-in votes than any other
write-in candidate, you become one of the "Top Two" and
move on to the November election. The Peace & Freedom Party
qualified three candidates this way in 2012. We tried it in two
districts, but they were the same districts as P & F, and their
candidates got more write-in votes.
Anyway,
here are the districts:

Castaneda is going to run for this one.
