Carl DeMaio and Reform California have released their “Plain English” voter guide to give you an easy-to-understand explanation of the ballot measures and grade candidates running in Orange County.
California’s General Election is underway and ballots must be returned by November 8, 2022. With a bunch of confusing ballot measures and hundreds of candidates running for office, voters can feel overwhelmed and lost.
This “Plain English” voter guide makes voting simple – especially when it comes to the ballot measures and local offices that do not allow candidates to disclose their party affiliation. Endorsements below are given only to candidates who “passed the test” on these crucial criteria: opposing taxes, fighting crime, improving schools, creating jobs, and defending personal freedoms.
2022 offers a real chance for a wave election to block costly tax hikes and elect common-sense leaders - but to do that we need your help in turning out your friends, family and neighbors to vote and share this easy-to-understand voter guide with them!
How to Use the Guide – 8 Sections:
- Review Statewide Ballot Measures
- Review Your Local Ballot Measures
- Review Statewide Candidate Races
- Review Legislative Candidate Races (Congress/State Legislature)
- Review Your County Candidate Races
- Review Your City Candidate Races (unless you live in unincorporated area)
- Review Your School District Candidate Races
- Review Your Remaining Special District Candidate Races

Statewide Ballot Measures
Prop 1 — NO
Official Title: Constitutional Right to Reproductive Freedom. Legislative Constitutional Amendment.
Plain English Translation: Eliminates Any Restrictions on When Abortions Can Be Performed
Prop 1 is being sold publicly as merely a codification of a pro-choice position in the California state constitution but it actually goes far further than that. The actual text of this ballot measure would repeal the current ban on abortions after 23 weeks of a pregnancy and allow the right to a late-term abortion up to the moment of birth. Prop 1 would give California one of the most extreme abortion laws in the country. This measure may also interfere with existing state laws that allow for Sexually Violent Predators to be placed under mandatory chemical treatment to limit their sex drive and desires. Reform California recommends a NO vote.
Prop 26 — NO
Official Title: Allows In-Person Roulette, Dice Games, Sports Wagering on Tribal Lands. Initiative Constitutional Amendment and Statute.
Plain English Translation: Protects Tribal Gaming Rights, But Enriches Trial Lawyers Through More Frivolous Lawsuits
Prop 26 affirms the current practice of allowing only federally-recognized Native American tribes to operate roulette, dice games, and sports wagering on tribal lands, subject to compacts negotiated by the Governor and ratified by the Legislature. It would also allow on-site sports wagering at privately operated horse-racing tracks in specified counties for ages 21 and up. Unfortunately, the measure contains a “poison pill” to expand the use of the Private Attorneys General Act (PAGA) to allow unscrupulous trial attorneys to file frivolous lawsuits to shakedown small businesses. Reform California recommends a “NO” vote on Prop 26.
Prop 27 — NO
Official Title: Allows Online and Mobile Sports Wagering Outside Tribal Lands. Initiative Constitutional Amendment and Statute.
Plain English Translation: Allows Private Businesses to Engage in Online Gambling to Compete with Native American Tribes
Prop 27 would expand gambling in California beyond casinos currently operated by Native American tribes by allowing private businesses to operate online and mobile sports wagering for persons 21 and up. Native American tribes say this competition from private businesses will undermine their ability to fund programs for their tribes. Reform California recommends a NO vote.
Prop 28 — NO
Official Title: Provides Additional Funding For Arts And Music Education In Public Schools. Initiative Statute.
Plain English Translation: Earmarks Mandatory Funding from the Existing State Education Budget for Arts and Music Programs
Prop 28 is an earmark - or a requirement that the state spend at least a certain amount of funds from the state budget for the exclusive benefit of art and music programs. The earmark mandates that 1% of required state funding be set aside for arts and music programs and then allocates a greater proportion of the funds to schools serving more economically disadvantaged students. Earmarks are not free money - so any earmark will have to come at the expense of other important programs — including programs for fundamental academic areas like reading, writing, arithmetic, etc. Reform California recommends a NO vote.
Prop 29 — NO
Official Title: Requires On-Site Licensed Medical Professional At Kidney Dialysis Clinics And Establishes Other State Requirements. Initiative Statute
Plain English Translation: Imposes Costly Regulations on Kidney Dialysis Clinics to Benefit Organized Labor Unions
Prop 29 may be familiar to voters since it has been rejected TWICE before in 2018 and 2020. Why does it keep appearing on the ballot? Wealthy labor unions force the measure on the ballot in an attempt to impose new costly regulations on kidney dialysis clinics that would benefit the interests of the unions. Prop 29 requires specific medical personnel on site during treatment at outpatient kidney dialysis clinics - whether or not the personnel are even needed. The measure also increases mandatory state reporting and prohibits clinics from closing or substantially reducing services without state approval. A "no” vote keeps your doctors and clinics more independent from state control. Reform California recommends a NO vote.
Prop 30 — NO
Official Title: Provides Funding for Programs to Reduce Air Pollution And Prevent Wildfires by Increasing Tax on Personal Income Over $2 Million.
Plain English Translation: TAX INCREASE - Increases Income Taxes to Fund a Variety of New Government Programs
Prop 30 is a massive income tax increase - even though California already has the highest income taxes in the country of any state. Prop 30 imposes a 1.75% tax increase for personal incomes over $2 million. Revenue for the proposition aims to go toward climate change measures, but the definition of programs eligible for these new funds is quite broad as to allow the funds to be used in a wide-range of ways. Reform California recommends a NO vote.
Prop 31 — NO
Official Title: Referendum on 2020 Law that Would Prohibit the Retail Sale of Certain Flavored Tobacco Products.
Plain English Translation: Should California Ban the Sale of Flavored Tobacco?
Prop 31 is a “referendum” or question on whether a proposed state law should be implemented or rejected. State Senate Bill, SB 793, which prohibits the retail sale of certain flavored tobacco products and tobacco flavor enhancers. A “yes” vote would uphold and pass the law into effect, banning the retail sale of these flavored tobacco products. A “no” vote would overturn the law and tobacco companies would be allowed to sell flavored tobacco products in the state.
Local Ballot Measures
Measure G — NO
Official Title: Capistrano Unified School District SFID No. 3 Bond Measure
Plain English Translation: Shall the City Take Out $114 Million in Bonds to be Repaid by Taxpayers to Give a Line of Credit to a Poorly Managed School District?
Measure G is effectively a massive tax increase on city residents through a bond. Bonds are government loans that must be paid back by taxpayers. Moreover, this bond is being used as a replacement for improving efficiency with current resources. A NO vote blocks these backroom deals and saves taxpayers millions.
Measure H — YES
Official Title: Santa Ana Unified School District Term Limits
Plain English Translation: Impose a Lifetime Three-Term Limit on Board Members
Measure H imposes a lifetime limit of three terms on school board members. Local term limits help improve accountability and keep politicians in touch with their communities. A YES vote approves this measure.
Measure I — YES
Official Title: City of Aliso Viejo, Councilmember Term Limits
Plain English Translation: Impose Limit of Two Consecutive Terms on City Council
Measure I imposes a limit of two consecutive terms on city council members, with the ability to be elected to the council again after a two year break. Partial terms of less than two years to fill vacancies will not count against term limits if the partial term occurs prior to the two consecutive full terms. Local term limits help improve accountability and keep politicians in touch with their communities. A YES vote approves this measure.
Measure J — NO
Official Title: City of Anaheim, Anaheim Hotel Tax (TOT Measure)
Plain English Translation: Require Hotel Booking Websites to Collect Hotel Tax
Measure J is a massive tax increase on out-of-town guests. It imposes the requirement on hotel booking websites to collect and remit hotel occupancy taxes to the city of Anaheim at the city’s current rate of 15%, generating up to $3 million annually for the city. While the measure and proponents may argue this tax is paid by hotels and motels, they pass that fee onto guests. The City Council has engaged in rampant wasteful spending that needs to be fixed before they consider raising taxes on the people. A NO vote stops this tax increase.
Measure K — Neutral
Official Title: City of Costa Mesa, Ordinance to Revitalize Commercial and Industrial Areas and Protect Residential Neighborhoods
Plain English Translation: Ends Practice of Citizen Building Vetos
Measure K unravels the citizen-backed Measure Y, which allowed residents oversight on approving major development projects. Measure K exempts many projects from this oversight to make it easier for the city to greenlight the development of multiple new dense housing units. This measure aims to minimize elections and their costs and make building easier in the city. It will also further urbanize Costa Mesa.
Measure L — NO
Official Title: City of Huntington Beach, Charter Amendment Measure 1
Plain English Translation: Lessen Voting Rights of Residents and Allow City Council to Cancel Regular Meetings to Hide from Voters
Measure L is trying to confuse voters with language about restrooms and parks, when in fact it is about limiting voter input. Measure L weakens citizen voting rights and allows the city council to hide from public scrutiny. The measure amends the city charter to allow the city to construct restrooms or replace existing equipment on parks and beaches without any voter input, upending the previous voter-approved Measure C. It also allows for the mayor or a majority of the City Council to cancel regular meetings, so they can avoid answering to the public. A NO vote blocks this measure.
Measure M — NO
Official Title: City of Huntington Beach, Charter Amendment Measure 2
Plain English Translation: Allow City Attorney to Not Have Law School Degree Accredited by the America Bar Association, Weakening City Attorney
Measure M is the latest in the city council’s feud against the city attorney’s office, and in an attempt to weaken the city attorney, this measure removes the requirement for the city attorney to have a degree from a law school accredited by the American Bar Association. It also changes rules on filling vacancies and rules on required reporting by city officers. The city attorney should be a respectable attorney, with a degree from an American Bar accredited school. A NO vote keeps this common-sense requirement.
Measure N — NO
Official Title: City of Huntington Beach, Charter Amendment Measure 3
Plain English Translation: Make City Attorney Answer to City Politicians Instead of the Public; Weaken the Office of the City Attorney
Measure N seeks to make the city attorney answer to city politicians, not the public. The measure forces the city attorney to heed the direction of the City Council for all legal matters, putting their interests above the public’s. This measure contains dangerous wording that attacks the independence of the city attorney and could force them to comply with corrupt actions of a bad faith city council. A NO vote defeats this measure and keeps the city attorney’s client as the public, not the city politicians.
Measure O — NO
Official Title: City of Huntington Beach, Taxation on Cannabis Businesses
Plain English Translation: Increase Taxes By 6% on Pot Shops
Measure O is a massive tax increase on pot shops. While the measure claims to fund “homeless prevention,” “parks,” and “safety,” it contains loopholes that allow the funding to be diverted to any project the city wishes. A NO vote will block this tax increase.
Measure P — NO
Official Title: City of La Palma, La Palma City Services Measure
Plain English Translation: Increase the Hotel Tax by 4%
Measure P is a massive tax increase on out-of-town guests. While the measure and proponents may argue this tax is paid by hotels and motels, they pass that fee onto guests. The City Council has engaged in rampant wasteful spending that needs to be fixed before they consider raising taxes on the people. A NO vote stops this tax increase.
Measure Q — NO
Official Title: City of Laguna Beach, Municipal Code Amendment to Create an Overlay Zoning District and Require Voter Approval of Major Development Projects
Plain English Translation: Discriminate Against Small Businesses in Construction Contracts
Measure Q claims to be about limiting development, but it contains a poison pill. The measure is backed by major unions because the new development contracts are awarded to bidders that primarily use union labor. These arrangements discriminate against small and minority-owned businesses. A NO vote stops this measure.
Measure R — NO
Official Title: City of Laguna Beach, Municipal Code Amendment to Create a Hotel Development Overlay Zoning District and Require Voter Approval of Hotel Development Projects
Plain English Translation: Discriminate Against Small Businesses in Hotel Construction Contracts
Measure R claims to be about limiting development, but it contains a poison pill. The measure is backed by major unions because the new development contracts are awarded to bidders that primarily use union labor. These arrangements discriminate against small and minority-owned businesses. A NO vote stops this measure.
Measure S — NO
Official Title: City of Laguna Beach, Municipal Code Amendment to Create a Minimum Wage and Workplace Standards and Protections for Hotel Employees
Plain English Translation: Raise Hotel Room Costs to Guests by Increasing Minimum Wage to $18 for Hotel Employees
Measure S is a massive price hike on hotel guests. The measure establishes an $18 minimum wage for hotel employees. While proponents argue the wage will be paid by the hotel, it will actually be passed onto hotel guests through price hikes on room cost, dining, and other services. A NO vote blocks this price hike.
Measure T — NO
Official Title: City of Laguna Woods, Cannabis Business Tax Ordinance
Plain English Translation: Increase Taxes By 4-10% on Pot Shops
Measure T is a massive tax increase on pot shops. While the measure claims to fund “traffic,” and “law enforcement,” it contains loopholes that allow the funding to be diverted to any project the city wishes. A NO vote will block this tax increase.
Measure U — NO
Official Title: City of San Clemente, Appointive City Clerk
Plain English Translation: Shall the City Clerk be Appointed Rather Than Elected?
Measure U directly subverts the will of voters and allows potentially corrupt politicians to appoint their crony friends to positions of power. A NO vote keeps the City Clerk elected by the people.
Measure V — NO
Official Title: City of San Clemente, Appointive City Treasurer
Plain English Translation: Shall the City Treasurer be Appointed Rather Than Elected?
Measure V directly subverts the will of voters and allows potentially corrupt politicians to appoint their crony friends to positions of power. A NO vote keeps the City Clerk elected by the people.
Measure W — NO
Official Title: City of Santa Ana, Santa Ana Business License Tax Equity and Flexible Tax Holiday
Plain English Translation: Increase Business License Taxes and Fees
Measure W is a massive tax increase. The measure restructures the tax code to apply a flat tax on business licenses, but raises the rates on most businesses and allows them to increase year-over-year with inflation — now at record highs. While the measure argues it will shift the tax burden to big businesses and smaller businesses will pay less, that’s not true. Home-based businesses may pay less to start, but other small businesses will suffer an increase — and all rates will increase over time with inflation. A NO vote blocks this tax increase.
Measure X — YES
Official Title: City of Santa Ana, Charter Amendments
Plain English Translation: Impose Term Limits on Mayor and City Council
Measure X imposes a lifetime limit of three 4-year terms on city council members and 4 2-year terms on the mayor. Local term limits help improve accountability and keep politicians in touch with their communities. A YES vote approves this measure.
Measure Y — NO
Official Title: City of Westminster, No-Tax Increase Local Services Measure
Plain English Translation: Massive Tax Increase Extending Sales Tax Rate for 20 More Years
Measure Y is lying to voters on the ballot because it constitutes a massive tax increase. The measure would extend the current 1% sales tax rate that voters approved in 2016, and it would last for 20 more years. A NO vote blocks the tax rate from continuing, effectively giving city residents a massive tax cut! Vote NO to lower your tax bill.
Measure Z — NO
Official Title: City of Yorba Linda, Housing Element Implementation General Plan Amendments and Rezoning
Plain English Translation: Allow Dense Urban Development and Corrupt Backroom Deals for Contracts
Measure Z, on the surface, appears to allow for building new housing units — among them being affordable housing units. However, the measure contains a “poison pill.” New development contracts for the housing units are awarded to bidders that primarily use union labor. These arrangements discriminate against small and minority-owned businesses. A NO vote stops this measure.
