For the November 2020 Presidential General Election, all voters will be mailed a ballot. This will help to reduce exposure to COVID-19 while allowing you to exercise your right to vote. To protect the health and welfare of all San Diegans, we encourage you to vote your mail-in ballot from the safety and comfort of your home. Here are a few strategies to help make the voting process not only safer, but more convenient as we head into flu season with COVID-19 still looming. VOTE SAFER 2020 FP-02-30-1-ENG SD 087-002 You may also deposit your sealed ballot at any one of 126 convenient drop-off locations around the county. Or, you may drop it at the Registrar’s office or at any polling place. Tip: Mail Ballot Voters who decide to vote at their polling place should BRING their Mail Ballot to be SURRENDERED, then a new ballot will be issued. WILL THERE BE POLLING PLACES? Yes. In fact, polling places throughout the county will be open for four days, October 31 through November 3. Be prepared. There will be fewer locations than in prior elections, so your polling place has most likely changed. Be sure to go to your assigned polling location. Look on the back cover of this pamphlet to find your assigned poll. If you decide to vote in-person, don’t be surprised, lines may be long! Be Vote Ready. Mark your selections on your sample ballot in advance so when you go inside the voting booth, you can quickly fill in the official ballot. We encourage older adults and people with underlying medical conditions to avoid long lines and crowded polling places by acting early. If you need to vote in person you should take advantage of early voting: • At the Registrar’s office beginning October 5, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. • At your assigned polling place or the Registrar’s office Saturday, October 31 through Monday, November 2, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. • All will again be open on Election Day when the voting hours will change to 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. but we urge you not to wait. Avoid delays by voting early! Bring your mask. The Registrar of Voters is adhering to the County’s public health orders and will make reasonable accommodations when needed to ensure the health and safety of all election workers, voters and observers to our office and polling places. YOUR VOTE. YOUR CHOICE. YOUR HEALTH. Waiting until Election Day can be a hectic time of last-minute decisions. Or with a little preparation, you can vote early, and the experience can be not only safer but more convenient and easier for all. Either way, we will ensure every eligible vote is counted. VOTE SAFER 2020 FP-02-30-2-ENG SD 087-003 methods. You may request to have a ballot brought to an accessible location as near as possible outside the polls.

Representative, 49th District With our national government torn apart by partisanship, it seems like not much is getting done in Congress. But Mike Levin, in just his first term, has an impressive track record of working for bipartisan, common sense solutions to local and national problems. Mile Levin co-sponsored bipartisan relief packages to lessen the devastating public health and economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. He hosts a weekly COVID-19 Virtual Town Hall with medical experts to inform and assist residents. Mike Levin works to defend and expand the Affordable Care Act to extend healthcare to all, lower prescription drug prices, and protect those with pre-existing conditions. As Chair of the Veterans’ Affairs Subcommittee on Economic Opportunity, Mike Levin passed 11 bipartisan bills to enhance healthcare, education, housing and job prospects for America’s veterans. His legislation ensures that grievously injured veterans have access to adaptive technologies to improve their lives. Mike Levin secured $146 million to substantially upgrade facilities at Camp Pendleton and provide a pay raise for our troops. Mike Levin led efforts making the cleanup of San Onofre’s radioactive waste a top federal priority. He secured $300 million to keep raw sewage from the Tijuana River from contaminating our beaches. Mike Levin funded work to prevent the erosion of our district’s coastal bluffs. As a member of the Select Committee on the Climate Crisis, Mike Levin is a nationally-recognized leader in combatting global climate change. That’s why San Diego County nurses and teachers say Mike Levin has earned re-election to Congress. UNITED STATES HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES 49th District BRIAN MARYOTT Mayor/Financial Planner Like most Americans, I’m fed up with the lack of results from Washington. Federal and State governments have failed us in the COVID-19 response-from the lack of testing, to the months of delays that our neighbors are experiencing in receiving their unemployment checks, to the lack of a coherent plan to safely get our children back to school. As your Congressman, I will hold government accountable and deliver results for families, small businesses, veterans, and seniors. In business, I worked my way from washing dishes to managing hundreds of employees and billions in client assets. As Mayor, I’ve worked with Democrats and Republicans, business, community groups and law enforcement to make our city a safe place to live and raise a family. I’ll take that bipartisan approach to Congress. As a father, I’m concerned about our children’s future; rising debt the environment, quality healthcare, and now the uncertainty of our education system. My Priorities: Taxes: end taxes on Social Security benefits; make tax cuts permanent for working families. SAFE Communities: secure the border to stop the inflow of drugs and the heartbreak of human trafficking. Oppose defunding the police. Endorsed by SD Deputy Sheriff’s Association, OC Sheriff Don Barnes. Environment: protect our beaches and environment with sensible, science- based approaches. Healthcare: Give you more control over your healthcare, doctors and HAS options; Protect pre-existing conditions: Initiate reforms to improve Medicare and Veterans care. I would be honored to have your vote. www.MaryottForCongress.com SD 087-018 CS-0376-1 STATE ASSEMBLY 76th District TASHA BOERNER HORVATH California State Assemblymember Dear Neighbor, Thank you for your courage in making your voice heard and shaping how we will come back from this tragic pandemic. As your State Assemblymember, I have championed legislation to buy emergency supplies of PPE for our nurses and doctors, and introduced a bill to make telecommuting easier for workers. My staff and I have worked extended night and weekend hours to help constituents file unemployment claims, and we’ve called and text messaged thousands of local seniors in order to check on their wellness during these unprecedented times. My record in the State Assembly includes successfully fighting to restore mental health services at Tri-City Medical Center, securing $1.5 million to expand the Veterans Resource Center at Mira Costa College, and supporting legislation to improve wildfire preparedness. I have also co-authored bills to reduce pollution from plastics, ensure safe drinking water, and guard against sea level rise due to climate change. I’m a mom, businesswoman, and a former PTA leader who got my start in public service by fighting to get a stop sign installed near my kids’ school. I have a proven ability to cut though red tape, bring people together, and achieve tangible outcomes that improve our quality of life. I’m honored to have the support of local firefighters, nurses, teachers, police officers, and leaders from throughout Carlsbad, Encinitas, Oceanside, and Vista. I hope to earn your vote so that I may continue to serve our district. Tasha Boerner Horvath (760) 237-0350 www.Tasha4Assembly.com STATE ASSEMBLY 76th District MELANIE BURKHOLDER Mental Health Therapist Government’s first responsibility is keeping people safe. Jobs, education, law-enforcement, homelessness, healthcare (including COVID response) and our freeways have been neglected. The legislature has placed onerous laws on everything I just mentioned while allowing the homeless population to suffer. So consumed in partisanship, they are ignoring basic services we pay for and deserve. I’m a decorated USSS Agent, therapist, businesswoman, wife and mom. Our children shouldn’t have to move away to live a middle-class life. As your Assemblywoman, I’ll work to make California affordable by voting to lower taxes, making middle-class life attainable again. I’ll ensure classrooms have the resources they need while holding schools accountable for results. I will not defund the police, rather, encourage enforcement of the law so we’re safe. I’ll improve our roads so we’re not stuck in traffic everyday. I’ll defend our parental and property rights. The legislature we have now isn’t going to get California back on track. We need more balance, common-sense and laser-focus on doing the job for the people. Currently, big money Sacramento special interests select our representatives. They don’t care about our daily problems, only in getting special treatment at our expense. I’ll work for our community, not lobbyists. We can make the California Dream attainable to everyone, again, by changing the legislators who have failed us and holding new ones accountable. I’ll take the same fight to Sacramento that I took to the streets of Los Angeles when I was chasing bad guys in the Secret Service. www.melanieforassembly.com SD 087-019 CS-CWO1-1 COUNTY OF SAN DIEGO Judge of the Superior Court - Office No. 30 TIM NADER Deputy Attorney General Tim Nader upholds the rights of law-abiding citizens to safe homes, streets and schools. He is a proven supporter of the rights of crime victims, civil rights, the environment, and the Constitution. Nader is an experienced prosecutor, child support lawyer and civil litigator. As Mayor of Chula Vista, Nader conducted hundreds of legal hearings, expanded the Police Department, and started programs giving troubled young people skills and guidance to turn their lives around. The combination of law enforcement and community programs reduced crime. “No municipal official did more for public safety than Tim Nader.” – Jesse Navarro, Former San Diego Police Officer and Special Assistant to the District Attorney (Retired) Nader supports tough sentences, but that’s not enough. Nader supports realistic reform without compromising public safety. As a college trustee, Nader supports programs that educate inmates before release, reducing recidivism and making everyone safer. Judges’ decisions affect your freedom from crime, your health, and your family. Our courts shouldn’t serve political agendas. Senators and Presidents are not above the law. Nader will decide cases on evidence and the Constitution – not “alternative facts.” Please protect one another during the pandemic – Wear a mask and socially distance.

SD 087-022 PR-09A0-G-1 CITY OF CARLSBAD (This Measure will appear on the ballot in the following form.) MEASURE G CITY COUNCIL COMPENSATION Shall Title 2, Chapter 2.04, Section 2.04.010(A) of the Carlsbad Municipal Code be adopted to prohibit city council compensation adjustments from exceeding the amount established by the San Diego Regional Consumer Price Index, to require the city council to either make or waive a compensation adjustment in January of each year, and to prohibit the city council from enacting retroactive increases for years in which the city council waived a compensation adjustment? This measure requires approval of a simple majority (50% plus 1) of those voting on the measure. Full text of this measure follows the argument. CITY ATTORNEY IMPARTIAL ANALYSIS The City Council placed Measure G on the ballot. If voters pass the Measure, the Measure will confirm the method contained in Carlsbad Municipal Code Section 2.04.010(A) for making adjustments to City Council compensation (base salary). The method was enacted by the City Council in 2018 and allows the City Council to consider a compensation adjustment in January of each year. The City Council may either make a compensation adjustment up to the amount established by the San Diego Regional Consumer Price Index or permanently waive a compensation adjustment for the upcoming year. The Measure prohibits the City Council from enacting retroactive compensation adjustments for years in which the City Council waived a compensation adjustment. The annual fiscal impact of the Measure depends on the annual increase in the San Diego Regional Consumer Price Index and whether the City Council decides to make or waive a compensation adjustment. If the voters pass the Measure, the City Council may not change the method without further voter approval. If the voters do not pass the Measure, the compensation method will remain in effect, but the City Council may change the method without the need for voter approval. /s/ Celia A. Brewer City Attorney, City of Carlsbad The above statement is an impartial analysis of Measure G. If you desire a copy of the measure, please call the City of Carlsbad’s City Clerk’s Office at 760-434-2808. SD 087-023 PR-09A0-G-2 ARGUMENT IN FAVOR OF MEASURE G In July of 2020, the Carlsbad city council voted unanimously to place this measure on the ballot for the resident’s consideration. If adopted, Measure G would prohibit city council compensation adjustments from exceeding the amount established by the San Diego County Consumer Price Index. The measure would require the city council either make or waive a compensation adjustment in January of each year. It would also prohibit the city council from enacting retroactive increases for years in which the city council waived a compensation adjustment. The primary role of the city council is to define policy direction for the city and act as the city’s legislative body. The position is part-time. Currently, Carlsbad city council pay is comparable to similar size cities in North San Diego County. Measure G is a model for good governance because it keeps focus on public service, rather than on compensation. Vote YES on Measure G.

FP-05-04-ENG SD 087-028 SSAVE OUR CITRUS! A new plant disease called Huanglongbing that kills citrus trees has been found in Los Angeles, Orange, and Riverside counties in backyard citrus. While this disease has not yet been found in San Diego County, early detection is key to protect our citrus trees. WHAT IS HUANGLONGBING? Huanglongbing, also called citrus greening, is a fatal citrus disease vectored by a pest called the Asian Citrus Psyllid. The fruits of an infected tree remain small and green with bitter juice and drop early. The leaves have asymmetrical discoloration and the tree loses leaves. An infected tree eventually becomes unproductive and dies. WHAT YOU CAN DO: - Inspect your citrus trees monthly for disease symptoms and Asian Citrus Psyllid. - Do not move citrus plants and fruit with stems and leaves out of quarantine areas or across state or international borders. - Plant new trees that come from reputable, licensed nurseries. - Cooperate with agricultural officials.
