I'm a Republican in California. Vote for John Cox for Governor. Straight Republican votes. Vote Yes on Prop 6 (Repeal Gas Tax) - Vote NO on all other Propositions.
United States Senator - THIS IS OUR DILEMMA - Dianne Feinstein or Kevin De Leon. (Do we vote Feinstein in and hope she gets arrested - or vote her out and get stuck with De Leon for years?);
There are several Judicial positions for Associate Justice on the Supreme Court. Does anyone have a good reference for who to vote for in this category?

In key California House races, Republicans are turning out early and big
With the midterm elections just days away, there’s little indication that California is seeing a “blue wave” of Democratic votes, at least in the early returns of vote-by-mail ballots — and in some key races that will help determine control of the House, Republican voter response has been strong.
There are still a lot more ballots to come in, cautioned Paul Mitchell, vice president of Political Data Inc., which supplies voter information to a variety of political campaigns. But so far, according to a mail ballot tracker he runs, Republican votes are keeping pace with the number of Democratic ballots.
“Looking at the comparable numbers, the statewide mail ballot returns at this point are running about 40 percent higher than the primary, 1.7 million to 1.2 million,” he said…
But the boost might not be helping Democrats. In the Walters vs. Porter race, for example, Democrats made up 31 percent of those who received mail ballots, while Republicans made up 37 percent. As of Monday, however, the total number of ballots coming back favored Republicans, 45 percent to 31 percent.

I was born in California. All of my friends and family somehow ended up in Texas like me. California stopped being the California I knew and loved a long time ago. If the Republican spirit comes back into California, and some of the ridiculous bullshit laws out there start getting removed, I might come back to buy a small home. I dream of walking on the California beaches again. But it's just too painful to go there and visit, knowing that the entire state is just a shadow of it's former self. Back when I was there in the 90s, it was a paradise; it still had it's problems, but it had a massive amount of charm. Now, they can't keep up with the amount of people leaving the state. When they've had enough of pandering to illegal invaders, hopefully some common sense will come back.

I know exactly what you mean. I grew up in the SF Bay Area and now live in Dallas/Ft Worth. California was a beautiful childhood for me. I did not become conservative until I became a Christian which is why I came to Texas: Bible School. Most of my family still lives there but the cost of living is outrageous. I bought a home for $70,000 in Dallas which looked like a mansion compared to the $250,000 hovel my sister bought in San Diego. If CA doesn't go red they will be dead by the exodus of people who can't afford to live there.
The City of SF is so filthy because of blue politics that a Geek invented a CrapApp to report the locations of human and animal waste on the sidewalks so the city can send out clean up crews. California is literally a sick place to live in today.
I actually downloaded the SnapCrap app just to see how bad the problem was. It's worse than I thought. San Francisco might be on track record to become the worlds largest public toilet. I was told by some people I still know out there that there are people openly defecating near public transport areas. Who wants to see that?
My sister is a proud graduate of USC, and she's a registered doctor here in Hutto. Her apartment for when she attended college was 6000 a month for an apartment that was tiny, cramped, and covered in lime and rust. Out here, in Lubbock and Pflugerville, she got an apartment three times the size for less than 2400 a month! Lubbock always smells weird, that's not that big a deal, but the cost of living in California is just crazy. Housing prices out there are going to collapse, and everyone who owns expensive property is suddenly going to scream at the government for running their livelihoods into the ground. The housing market is just not sustainable, especially with the amount of people leaving. There's people in Texas who say that they are upset that all the Californians are voting for the same policies that caused California to vanish up it's own butthole, but that's not even a problem, there's five times as many conservatives as there are liberals here, and every year that goes by, more liberals convert to the conservative side because they are surrounded by a group of people that they really truly want to be a part of. More Californians are waking up every day. Maybe when California becomes better, and more Californians like us are encouraged to finally make our way back home, we can turn California back into what it could be.

there's zero reason to vote democrat unless you were dropped on your head repeatedly as a child.

I suffered several head injuries as a child and I'm still voting all Republican.
