Wacco Voter Guide for November 2016
Hello Fellow Voters!
I thought I'd gather up the most useful posts regarding the upcoming election for your voting pleasure (and edification).
Please reply if I missed something. I'm mostly interested in threads that have been posted to Wacco, but if you have an external link that you think is important that's fine to. I'll pin and update this post.
You are most welcome to start a new thread to discuss a race that hasn't been posted. Please use existing threads for further comments, even if you don't agree with the thread title.

Voter Guides
There's been a few good comprehensive voter guides posted:Non-Partisan
Partisan with reccomendations
President
I'm going to guess you don't need much help with this one.
But here's a good thread about Gary Johnson.
United States Senator
I don't think anything has been posted about this race! Kamala Harris seems to be the favorite of the progressives, though, and that's who the Sonoma County Democratic Party is endorsing. Loretta Sanchez's site is here.
United States Representative
Again, no discussion, but Jared Huffman came to our picnic and is a good guy!
State Assembly
No discussion, which is a pity, since former Santa Rosa City Council person, Roni Jacobi is challenging Marc Levine. Anybody want to start a thread?
County Supervisor - 5th District
The hottest race in the county is fought over here. Proceed at your own risk!
State Propositions

Proposition 57 - Reform CA’s broken parole and juvenile trial system
Good roundup of all State Propositions: By California Choices and KQED
Proposition 64 -Adult Use of Marijuana ActProp 64 - Adult Use of Marijuana Act - The Sonoma County Growers Alliance is against this. I think they are self serving and are just protecting their business interests, and not advocating good public policy. This one could use some more discussion.
Proposition 65 - Fake Environmental Fee to Support Plastic BagsSee Prop 67
Proposition 67 - Referendum to Uphold Ban on Single-Use Plastic BagsWest Sonoma County Union High & Union High School District
