Elections in California
There are two different types of primary elections in California. The results of the primary election determine the candidates
who will run in the general election in November. The types of primary elections are:
Presidential (Party-Nominated/Partisan Office)
• Office on the ballot: U.S. President
• Who can vote: Only voters who registered with the same political party as the candidate (the Democratic, American
Independent, and Libertarian parties allow voters who registered with no party preference to vote in their primary).
• Result: The candidate who moves on to the general election is the candidate nominated by their national political
party and may not be the candidate that was elected by popular vote in the California primary election.
California Open Primary (Voter-Nominated Offices)
• Offices on the ballot: U.S. Senate, U.S. House of Representatives, statewide offices, and state legislative offices
• Who can vote: Any voter may vote for any one candidate in each contest, regardless of party preference.
• Result: The top-two candidates, regardless of party preference, who receive the most votes in each primary contest
move on to the general election. After a top-two primary, a general election must be held even if one candidate
receives a majority of the vote (at least 50 percent +1) and even if there is only one candidate in the primary election.
California's open primary system does not apply to candidates running for U.S. President, County Central Committee, or local
offices. Non-partisan offices (such as judges, county supervisors, city council members, and school board members) remain
open to all eligible voters.

Elections in California
The Top Two Candidates Open Primary Act requires that all candidates for a voter-nominated office be listed on the
same ballot. Previously known as partisan offices, voter-nominated offices are state legislative offices, U.S.
congressional offices, and state constitutional offices.
In both the open primary and general elections, you can vote for any candidate regardless of what party preference
you indicated on your voter registration form. In the primary election, the two candidates receiving the most votes —
regardless of party preference — move on to the general election. If a candidate receives a majority of the vote (50
percent + 1), a general election still must be held. Even if there are only two candidates for an office in the open
primary, a general election for that office is still required.
California's open primary system does not apply to candidates running for U.S. President, County Central
Committee, or local offices.
California law requires that the following information be printed in this pamphlet
Party-Nominated/Partisan Offices
Political parties may formally nominate candidates for party-nominated/partisan offices at the primary election. A
nominated candidate will represent that party as its official candidate for the specific office at the general election and
the ballot will reflect an official designation. The top vote-getter for each party at the primary election moves on to the
general election. Parties also elect officers of county central committees at the primary election.
A voter can only vote in the primary election of the political party he or she has disclosed a preference for upon
registering to vote. However, a political party may allow a person who has declined to disclose a party preference to
vote in that party's primary election.
Voter-Nominated Offices
Political parties are not entitled to formally nominate candidates for voter-nominated offices at the primary election.
A candidate nominated for a voter-nominated office at the primary election is the nominee of the people and not the
official nominee of any party at the general election. A candidate for nomination to a voter-nominated office shall have
his or her party preference, or lack of party preference, stated on the ballot, but the party preference designation is
selected solely by the candidate and is shown for the information of the voters only. It does not mean the candidate is
nominated or endorsed by the party designated, or that there is an affiliation between the party and candidate, and no
candidate nominated by the voters shall be deemed to be the officially nominated candidate of any political party. In this
sample ballot booklet, parties may list the candidates for voter-nominated offices who have received the party's official
endorsement.
Any voter may vote for any candidate for a voter-nominated office, if they meet the other qualifications required to vote
for that office. The top two vote-getters at the primary election move on to the general election for the voternominated office even if both candidates have specified the same party preference designation. No party is entitled to
have a candidate with its party preference designation move on to the general election, unless the candidate is one of
the two highest vote-getters at the primary election.
Nonpartisan State Offices
Political parties are not entitled to nominate candidates for nonpartisan offices at the primary election, and a
candidate at the primary election is not the official nominee of any party for the specific office at the general election. A
candidate for nomination to a nonpartisan office may NOT designate his or her party preference, or lack of party
preference, on the ballot. The top two vote-getters at the primary election move on to the general election for the
nonpartisan office.

HO W TO USE THIS SAMPLE BALLOT
1. POLITICAL PARTY PREFERENCE: If you are not sure about your political party preference, look at the
front of this booklet or at the address label on the back cover. You may also check your political party
preference on our website at www.voteinfo.net or by calling (951) 486-7200.
If you chose a political party preference when registering to vote you will be issued an official ballot which
will include that political party’s U.S. Presidential and central committee candidates. Voter-Nominated and
Nonpartisan contests will also be included.
2. NO PARTY PREFERENCE AND NONPARTISAN: If you did not indicate a political party preference or
you registered with an unqualified political party, then you will be issued the No Party Preference /
Nonpartisan ballot. Your ballot will include congressional, state legislative, and nonpartisan contests, not
U.S. Presidential Candidates. However, for this election, three parties are allowing cross over voting for
their Presidential Candidates. You may request one of the following ballots:
Democratic Party
American Independent Party
Libertarian Party
3. PARTISAN OFFICES in the SAMPLE BALLOT
Look at the sample ballot pages that follow. Find the sample ballot pages for the appropriate political
party, in order to review your official ballot choices for partisan offices.
If you are a no party preference voter and you choose to vote the nonpartisan ballot, you will not find any
of the presidential candidates on your ballot.
4. VOTER-NOMINATED AND NONPARTISAN SAMPLE BALLOT PAGES
All voters are eligible to vote on the voter-nominated and nonpartisan portion of the ballot. Following the
party sample ballot pages are the voter-nominated and nonpartisan offices, and state and local
propositions and measures. The exact issues and offices on your ballot correspond to the location of your
residence address, according to what jurisdictions have seats to fill and/or questions to ask.

RANDY FOX, Republican
OCCUPATION: Councilman / Businessman / Pastor
EDUCATION AND QUALIFICATIONS:
AGE: 57
I am running for Congress because, like you, I care about our community
and we deserve better. My name is Randy Fox and I humbly ask for your
vote to work for a stronger Riverside County.
PRIORITY 1 – PUBLIC SAFETY AND THE THREAT OF DOMESTIC
TERRORISM
The San Bernardino terrorist attack proved that with proper planning,
preparation and resources our first responders can come together and
execute a strategy that stops domestic terrorists dead in their tracks. As
your Congressman, I will work with my colleagues to ensure our region
has the resources and support to protect our families.
PRIORITY 2 – EMPOWER JOB CREATORS AND GET PEOPLE HIRED
It’s simple: we need jobs! We must give job creators the relief they need
to hire more people. Only then can we attract more businesses and job
creators can thrive.
PRIORITY 3 – TRANSPORTATION AND TRAFFIC RELIEF
Current construction has become increasingly burdensome. I have successfully
worked to find local solutions to improve efficiency and relieve local commuters,
so that you can spend more time with loved ones.
I am a Pastor.
I am a Businessman.
I am a City Councilman.
I have dedicated my life to helping families come together to overcome
homelessness, drug abuse, and other life altering challenges - encouraging
them to improve their situation by making healthy choices and building lives
of hope, faith and personal responsibility.
I would like to do more and I ask for your vote.
Please vote Randy Fox for Congress 2016. Thank you!

EDUCATION AND QUALIFICATIONS:
Dear Neighbor,
Since being elected to Congress, I’ve been working hard for the communities
of Riverside County and fighting for the commonsense reforms we need
to fix Washington.
As your Representative, I have expanded access to healthcare for our
veterans, fought for the middle class, worked to create good paying jobs
in the Inland Empire, and stood up to the leaders of both parties to protect
Social Security and Medicare.
My office has secured more than $2 million in benefits owed to veterans
and held regular town hall meetings to understand local priorities. I
introduced legislation to strengthen our schools, rein in the abuses of
the for-profit college industry, make it easier for veterans to go back to
school, and support the creation of advanced manufacturing jobs.
I will continue to fight for the middle class by supporting job-creating local
investments like the UC Riverside Medical School, for comprehensive
immigration reform, and against tax cuts for billionaires and corporations
who want to ship American jobs overseas.
Prior to being elected to Congress, I dedicated my life to public service
as a high school teacher and Riverside Community College Trustee.
Those roles prepared me to be an effective advocate for local schools,
businesses, veterans, seniors, our military, and middle class families.
I am proud to have the support of local leaders from throughout Riverside,
Moreno Valley, Jurupa Valley, and Perris.
I respectfully ask for your vote so we can continue to grow our economy
and fix Congress.
I’m a small businessman not a politician.
It’s no secret that Washington is in desperate need of real leadership.
National security, public safety, cumbersome regulations and our economy
are key issues that require a leader who seeks solutions and not political
grandstanding.
I want to be at the forefront of the movement to restore the basic values
that are the bedrock of this country, God, family, community and service.
It is time for a good sense approach to government. We need to make
government bureaucracy smaller so each individual becomes “bigger’’.
Let’s create jobs by strengthening American businesses, both big and
small, through less regulation and reduced taxes. Let’s put more money
in people’s pockets! Financial freedom means more control over their
lives. There is nothing more American than personal liberty.
I have been married to Shelley Nuhn since 1984. Together we have
owned and operated several businesses for more than thirty years. Today
we own and operate Shepherd Realty Group and Outlook Escrow Inc.
here in Riverside.
I am proud to have established and built my real estate business, raised
my 2 daughters and a life here in Riverside. Helping people find good
quality jobs is rewarding and a trait I hope I can carry on to Congress.
I am ready to serve in Congress as part of the solution, not the status quo.

Vote Doug Shepherd and I pledge to serve you with honesty, honor and
integrity.

JOSE MEDINA, Democratic
OCCUPATION: Teacher / State Assemblymember
EDUCATION AND QUALIFICATIONS:
Dear Voter
Sacramento is broken and out of touch with the people of California. I am
seeking your vote to move forward with common sense legislation.
As a resident and business owner in the district, I have fought to assist
others and create more job opportunities. I have met with community
leaders, business owners, and students to understand the obstacles they
face daily. Everyone states that opportunities are limited.
The politicians in Sacramento don’t feel the impact of their decisions, they
only enjoy the benefits given to them by the special interest that influenced
their vote. It’s time to change Sacramento and give the power back to the
voters.
I would be honored to receive your vote for the 61st Assembly District. I
commit to you that I will be accountable, effective and productive. I will
make decisions based on what is best for my community and not the special
interest of lobbyists.
My top priorities will be:
1. Safer Communities and keeping criminals off the streets.
2. Effective Programs without bigger government.
3. Business Friendly Environment to create stable and higher paying
jobs in our region.
I will ensure that my office is:
1. Available to listen to my constituents.
2. I will not just make appearances for photo opportunities, I will
participate and get involved in my communities.
3. I will vote for what is best for our communities and not what
big government wants in Sacramento.
I have served Riverside County families as a classroom teacher, Community
College boardmember, and State Assemblymember. I have dedicated my
life to preparing our children for success, improving our schools, creating
new opportunities for middle class families, and delivering a healthier
economy for our community.
As a classroom teacher and Community College boardmember, I helped
improve academic standards in the classroom, put more students on the
path to college or a career, and invested in job training programs to give
students the opportunity to succeed. I am proud to be a part of what we
accomplished at the local level. However, local change was not enough.
l ran for State Assembly to bring the priorities of Riverside County to
Sacramento.
As your State Assemblymember, I delivered the necessary funding to
complete the UC Riverside Medical School, delivered the first on-time
balanced state budget and surplus in over a decade. I supported policies
to pay down our state debt, eliminate waste, secure over one billion dollars
to improve classroom standards, pass the state water bond to combat
the drought and promote small business growth and economic investment
with new tax credits and new jobs.
As your State Assemblymember, I have worked tirelessly and will continue
to work to deliver meaningful improvements in our quality of life. It would be
an honor to continue representing and fighting for Riverside County.
Please join teachers, firefighters, small business owners, and the Democratic
Party in supporting my re-election.

Vote Hector Diaz for 61st Assembly District.

oCCUPation: Homicide Prosecutor
edUCation and qUalifiCationS:
DAVID W. DUKE
OCCUPATION: Attorney
EDUCATION AND QUALIFICATIONS:
As a veteran homicide prosecutor for Riverside County, I have dedicated
my career to putting murderers, gang criminals, drug cartel leaders, child
molesters and rapists behind bars. I do this to make our community a
better place. With your vote and support, I will take that experience to
the Superior Court bench where I pledge to always uphold the United
States Constitution and laws of California, to be fair but firm with the
accused, yet honor those victimized by crime and other injustices. I am
proud to be endorsed by the Riverside County Deputy District Attorney
Association ― the prosecutors who work to keep us safe ― and by
twenty Superior Court Judges who know my work firsthand.
Local police chiefs, police associations, crime victims and three former
Presidents of the Riverside County Bar Association endorse my candidacy
for Judge because they understand my dedication to public safety and
my commitment to justice for all.
My wife and I are parents of a 5-year old girl and longtime residents of
Riverside County. I am committed to making our community safe and
our justice system fair, firm and respectful to everyone who enters my
courtroom. I would be honored to receive your vote. Thank you.
www.StrunskyforJudge.com.
For the past decade, our Courts have been severely backlog with criminal
and civil cases. Riverside County needs a judge who will be fair, impartial,
and adheres to the Constitution.
As an experienced trial lawyer, I bring a diverse legal background from real
estate law and professional liability to human rights and I am prepared to
preside over any legal matter.
Experience
Over 30 years practicing law, representing and protecting property owners,
children, victims and business owners. Author of five books.
Education:
B.A. University of Michigan, 1980
J.D. Washington University School of Law, 1984.
Public Safety
As your next judge, I will ensure violent criminals are held accountable for
their actions. Our community needs a judge to be tough on crime especially
with the implementation of AB 109(California’s Prison Realignment).
In 1990, my wife, Laura and I formed two international non-profit organizations
that help children who have been victimized, abandoned or persecuted and
provide them with foster care and adoptive placement.
Our Courts are too valuable to be left in the hands of someone who puts
politics over public safety.

I humbly ask for your vote on Tuesday June 7th 2016.

EDUCATION AND QUALIFICATIONS:
Dear Friends,
I am a candidate for RCOE, District 3 because I believe we can do more
to extend education and career opportunities to our community.
As a Moreno Valley resident for 28 years, we raised our daughter here; I
served on PTA Boards, School District Committees, City Committees, cofounded the synagogue here and I spent 8 years as a volunteer educator
teaching acceptance and tolerance.
My husband of 35 years chose teaching as his 2nd career. I should
say it chose him! I run a small business as my 2nd career choice.
You never know when a passion to do something different will drive
you and your education choices open yet again. I come from a family
where the kind of educational opportunities you chose and what you
do with it is up to you.
I will be active and visible in RCOE District 3 and be your voice and
power to continue to provide the services youth and adults need for
educational opportunities and success for your lives and that of your
families.
The super highway to success starts and finishes with your educational
opportunities.

These are significant times in public education. It has never been more
important for local school districts, charter schools, and the Riverside
