SACRAMENTO, CALIF. – Assemblymembers Adam Gray (D-Merced), Kristin Olsen (R-Riverbank), and the Independent Voter Project jointly announce the introduction of a new state constitutional amendment,  ACA 13, that would create a single nonpartisan presidential ballot so that all California voters have an opportunity to cast a ballot for the candidate of their choice, regardless of their political affiliation, in taxpayer-funded presidential primaries.

In modern politics, Hillary Clinton's feat is amazing, and we shouldn't take anything away from her come-back ability to fight and win after losing the 2008 primary to President Obama. But the modern media is taking it a bit far to call her the first female presidential nominee, especially when Jill Stein was the Green Party's nominee in 2012 and is likely to be the party's nominee again in 2016.

The Republican and Democratic parties are facing an interesting dilemma this year. How do party members get behind their respective nominees and their campaigns and vote for them even if they have strong feelings against the nominee's positions and their perceived lack of personal integrity?

SAN DIEGO, CALIF. - Robert Hickey and Mara Elliott will face each other in the November election, taking the top two spots in the race to be San Diego's next city attorney. Rafael Castellanos, Gil Cabrera, and Bryan Pease got third, fourth, and fifth place, respectively.

Hickey got 29.61% while Elliott secured 24.31%.

SAN DIEGO, CALIF. - The hotly contested race in San Diego City Council District 1 is currently too close to call as many late and provisional ballots still need to be counted. Democrat Barbara Bry is currently just shy of the 50 percent plus one threshold to avoid a November runoff against Republican Ray Ellis.

District One includes the communities of Carmel Valley, La Jolla, Torrey Pines, University City, and nearby communities.

Democracy Now! turned its attention to California’s primary Tuesday, focusing on the excitement surrounding 600,000 new registered voters in the last two months and what that means with the current presidential primary rules in the state.

San Diego, CALIF. - Kevin Faulconer will not be facing a November runoff as the Republican incumbent earned 58% of the vote in the 2016 Primary election.

Independent candidate Lori Saldaña finished second with 22% and Ed Harris has 19%.

The numbers will likely move a bit more as there are still 285,000 mail provisional ballots to be counted in the county.

I've never liked the lesser-of-two-evils type of election. It's bad politics and the voters deserve better.

But after Tuesday night, the near end of the primary season, the cold math becomes a race between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump for the White House.

SACRAMENTO, CALIF. - California Attorney General Kamala Harris and U.S. Rep Loretta Sanchez became the first two candidates from the same party to move on to the general election in a U.S. Senate race in California. The race guarantees that no matter who wins, history will be made in California.

SAN DIEGO, CALIF. - San Diego City Councilmember Scott Sherman (R) won re-election in San Diego's 7th District Tuesday night, avoiding a November election by winning approximately 62% of the vote. Sherman beat Democrats Justin DeCesare and Jose Caballero.
