Thank you, @spencerpratt for your comforting words. I believe that we as a people are blessed to live in the US. I’ve also felt the calling to participate in the political arena. It’s something I’ve never done - strangers and friends say I have a future there. I hope to meet you.
I’m never gonna be that pompous, condescending, know-it-all who’s gonna lecture you on who to vote for today. I don’t even like voting for people. I vote for policy. I vote for principles.
Politicians are rental cars: use em to get where you wanna go, then broom em and never think about em again. Don’t get attached to the person. They are flawed, fallen human beings like anyone else, and they will most certainly let you down, eventually.
I’m not a fan of Machiavellian strategizing with elections…I think that kind of scheming is hubristic, and it can often backfire. I prefer to just vote my conscience, and trust that God will guide the right outcome. That doesn’t mean immediate “victory” in any given race…God’s timeline is much deeper and it exceeds our limited vision. Sometimes things need to get worse before they can get better. Sometimes things are better than you even realize.
I respect my supporters far too much to instruct any of you how I think you should vote…I won’t even demand that you DO vote. All I will ask is that you reflect on the fact that you can vote. We forget, so easily, just how blessed we are to be Americans. It’s not luck. We don’t have magical soil. We have a legacy of brave and brilliant and principled men who fought and died to forge our destiny here, setting us apart from every other human civilization.
Every day I think about how I can honor their sacrifices that I’m not worthy of. I felt a call to run for office. I feel an undying duty to advocate for my community…I don’t know if I’m earning my American birthright, but it is always on my mind. I feel the weight of America’s grace just as heavily as I feel the glory of God’s grace. Heidi and I are so, so blessed.
If I can be forgiven just one moralizing lecture point today: have gratitude.
Gratitude is the ultimate virtue that precedes all other virtues, and it is the skeleton key that unlocks joy in even the darkest times in your life. Many people will be devastated and disappointed by the outcomes today…the rest will cheer today, but will be disappointed 6 months from now when your victory celebrations wane and your lauded candidate inevitably lets you down.
Gratitude. Thank God you can vote today without getting beheaded. You can vote however you want today…and while some of my fellow former Mayoral candidates may not realize this…you don’t even have to tell anyone who you voted for. You can just…do you.
I will continue to remind you all…Jesus has the wheel. You will adapt and overcome whatever happens today. Or in the case of Gavin Newsom’s CA, 48 days after the polls close.

I cannot believe how messed up @MedicareGov is. I’ve spent hours trying to get something fixed so my husband can get the coverage he paid for. I’m told it’s fixed but it wasn’t. I’m at my wits end. We are being hounded by the MD to pay out of pocket. @SaraJacobsCA

I changed jobs and am now with @AnthemBCBS . In four months I’ve already had to deal with a prescription payment issue and a denial of care recommended by my physician. Why does it need to be this hard?

What a nightmare trying to get help when your health insurance provider makes a mistake. It should not be like this. Hours on the phone and I still have hoops to jump through. It wasn’t my fault but I’m having to spend time fixing it. @SaraJacobsCA may be my next call.

Huntington Beach has become a battleground in California politics. We’re one of the last cities willing to stand up to Sacramento, defend local control, support public safety, and protect the character of our community. That’s why this race matters.
I’m fighting hard to keep common sense and local control in Huntington Beach, but I need your help getting our message directly to voters. We’re raising money now for our next round of mailers to cut through the political noise and make sure residents hear directly from us.
If you can donate, even $25, $50, or $100, it makes a real difference. And if you can’t donate, sharing this message helps too. Help us keep Huntington Beach independent, patriotic, and focused on the people who actually live here:

SD Taxpayers OPPOSES Proposition 3: California Children’s Education and Health Care Protection Act
Proposition 3 would permanently remove the 2030 expiration date from the top-bracket income tax surcharge voters approved as temporary in 2012 and extended in 2016. Permanence forecloses a tax-rate reduction already scheduled under current law, it deepens the state's reliance on a small and unusually volatile group of filers who supply roughly half of all personal income tax revenue, and it removes the state's ability to revisit that rate structure without returning to the voters.

This bill is a Trojan Horse.
Billionaire Tax ! You mean the “Everyone Tax”
Hiding behind the Narrative “Billionaires Tax” they will be coming after all of us. This is just the beginning.
If this gets Approved the State of California will have the ability to expand this to everyone, without it coming back to the Voters, that ability is on page 26.
“50310. Legislative Authority.
The Legislature may amend the 2026 Billionaire Tax Act, by statute passed in each house of the Legislature by rollcall vote entered in the journal, two-thirds ofthe membership concurring, ifthe statute is consistent with and furthers the purpose…..”
Billionaire Tax or Everyone Tax !!
I attended 2007 #ACMAwards in #LasVegas &watched @taylorswift13 sing Tim McGraw to @TheTimMcGraw. I’ll never forget it. I wish her & @tkelce joy and blessings. Anyone know how I can gift them some of my famous oatmeal raisin cookies? #TakingAChance @newheightshow #LongShot

And remember, they lost 30+ billion of that unemployment money to fraud. So it never even went to the people who needed it.
Update:
California's unemployment insurance debt to feds is nearing $22 Billion.
Every business in the state is shouldering the debt with big payroll tax hikes bc state leaders put nothing toward the principal.
@RepVinceFong is pushing to change that:

UPDATE: Looks like no deal. Going to trial tomorrow.
The city of #SanDiego has reportedly struck a deal in the trash collection lawsuit.
"– For two years, the fee would be rolled back to $29 per month, which is what city leaders first estimated to voters the fee would be, before increasing it to as much as $43 per month.
– The Lincoln Club Business League and associated campaign committee would stop their effort to repeal the fee completely.
– The city would take over billing for trash, instead of through property tax bills. (This would be a large expense for the city, to bring collection in house.)
– Former City Attorney Mike Aguirre and Maria Severson, who are representing the plaintiffs, would be able to collect their legal fees from the city. The campaign committee working to repeal the trash fee would also be reimbursed by the city for the money it has spent."

The settlement has yet to be accepted by the city and will be discussed at today's closed session council meeting.

This is CA gov ballot. What a hot mess. Why is there no line dividing columns? One could fill in bubble to the right of a candidate instead of left and vote for an unintended candidate. @SteveHiltonx

This @60Minutes piece on California's high speed rail disaster is incredible. From the comparison to costs in other countries to the questions about where the money went (consultants, lawyers, vendors), and how much supporters like Gavin Newsom have moved the goalposts. Time's Up

For years, California leaders accused oil companies of price gouging at the pump, but a state investigation found no evidence of that. Instead, a CBS News California investigation found what's really driving the highest gas prices in the U.S. cbsloc.al/3PPOHwW

Here's MY deal with you San Diego...
I'm not a babysitter.
You know I am more qualified than @ScottPetersSD and I will represent you better.
My family's health and safety took over my life in the midst of my campaign though...
You wouldn't vote for me if I abandoned family and I wouldn't want you to...
If things go "as planned", which is a long shot... I will represent San Diego to my fullest and utmost capabilities...
Please understand that I am campaigning with BOTH hands tied behind my back.
I'm packing my mom's apartment. Not campaigning. I'm being crushed by insurance and tax quants. All of which will make me even more qualified to fight for you...
BUT... I will be just a write-in candidate. And we do have awesome success stories but they are limited and I am realistic.
That said... I am still fighting... but I have several battles before I can rejoin the main fight. I need help from Patriots!
Can you fight for me while a take a few weeks off to get my mom settled?
@LukeSlywaker @slave_2_liberty @RichardPBailey_ @KUSINews
I was skeptical, but @NULASTINnatural lash and brow serum really work! My lashes are long and full, and my sparse brows have filled in. So glad I took the chance and tried them. I think you’ll love these products. Use my link to purchase rc-refer.com/maryanne-l14jja
