Thank you so much for visiting my Election Website! Whether you are looking for direct voter recommendations, resources for doing your own research, or other political resources, I trust that you will find this site to be helpful. Can you please help us by sharing this site with your friends?
We have posted a fair amount of information which pertains to ALL California Counties (statewide offices, state propositions, boards of equalization…). Please keep checking back, as we will be adding much more information in the next few weeks.
Robyn Nordell's Recommendations for:
Governor and Other Statewide Offices:
Lt. Governor, Secretary of State, Controller, State Treasurer, Attorney General, Insurance Commissioner, Superintendent of Public Instruction, U.S. SENATOR
Boards of Equalization (4 different districts)
JUDICIAL Offices
CA Supreme Court & Appellate Justice Races (for the 6 districts in CA)… coming soon!
State Propositions
GOVERNOR: JOHN COX
John is a strong prolife, social and fiscal conservative who has been increasing rapidly in the polls! Check out his website for his “plan to fix California” and to see his ad, “Help Is On The Way!” Please pray for his success and urge everyone you know to vote for John Cox for governor!
LT GOVERNOR: no recommendation; just some thoughts:
Both candidates are far-left Democrats. Some of my conservative advisors speculate that Ed Hernandez is likely the better of the two poor choices, but we don’t really know for sure. (Conservative Senator John Moorlach is voting for Ed Hernandez.)
SECRETARY OF STATE: MARK MEUSER
Mark Meuser is a fiscal conservative. According to ElectionForum voter guide, Meuser would require voter ID, would investigate voter fraud, support a national voter integrity project, and is on board with ElectionForum’s “top Ten Family Value CA Issues.”
CONTROLLER: KONSTANTINOS RODITIS
Conservative voter guide, nancyspicks.com, says: Roditis “would do a great job as Controller. He is a successful Conservative OC Businessman, who believes in ‘staunchly limiting government’, and says that ‘over-bearing government regulations’ is stifling business growth in CA. He calls the High Speed Rail a ‘money pit’ and believes it should be de-funded.” Election Forum gives Roditis their highest rating.
TREASURER: GREG CONLON
Greg is a strong fiscal conservative and is highly qualified for this position. Conservative John Moorlach highly recommends Conlon.
ATTORNEY GENERAL: JUDGE STEVEN BAILEY
Judge Bailey would make an amazing attorney general! Judge Bailey is an excellent, well-qualified, Constitutional, fiscal, and social Conservative. He is currently a Superior Court judge in El Dorado County, w/ a wide, diverse background in CA law.
INSURANCE COMMISSIONER: Steve Poizner
Steve Poizner is a registered “Independent” and is greatly preferable to leftist opponent. Steve opposes changing Prop 13, opposes taxpayer funded abortions, wants more free market competition in the insurance industry, promotes health savings accounts, and opposes a Single Payer Health Plans.
SUPERINTENDENT OF PUBLIC INSTRUCTION: Marshall Tuck
Though not a conservative, Tuck is greatly preferable to his far-left opponent. Tuck is open to charter schools and is friendlier to parent rights.
U.S. SENATOR: No recommendation; Just some thoughts:
Two terrible candidates. Both Dianne Feinstein and Kevin de Leon are far-left Democrats. Feinstein is somewhat more moderate, but she has behaved despicably in the Kavanagh hearings. If you want to vote for one of the candidates, you might consider that 85-year old Sen. Feinstein is nearing the end of her career. If she wins, as most incumbents do, we may have an opportunity to replace her soon, while 51-year old De Leon could be in that office for decades.
BOARD OF EQUALIZATION
Dist 1: Republican Ted Gaines
Dist 2: Republican Mark Burns
Dist 3: Republican G. Rick Marshall
Dist 4: Republican Joel Anderson
