The votes are in, and the June Primary election results are already reshaping East Bay politics. This week, Steve Tavares, Trishala Vinnakota, and Justin Berton break down the surprising defeat of Oakland's Measure E parcel tax, the outcomes of revenue measures in Hayward and Castro Valley, and what the results could mean for future tax and bond proposals across Alameda County. In congressional politics, Aisha Wahab emerged as the clear frontrunner in the crowded 14th Congressional District race. We also analyzes Scott Sakakihara's strong performance in the 10th State Senate District contest, the latest developments in the Alameda County District Attorney race between Ursula Jones Dickson and Pamela Price, and what California voters signaled in the governor's race. Plus, what these results reveal about the political mood of East Bay voters heading into November—and an introduction to the newest member of the East Bay Insiders team.

It’s the most wonderful time of the year! For us at least. It’s California Primary season and we bring back our Voice of San Diego Primary Election draft. Each of our hosts went through and picked the races they were most curious and interested in. Andrea highlights the wide-open City Council District 8 race featuring four Democratic candidates. Jakob tracks how the California Teachers Association is spending millions to back Richard Barrera. Bella is watching the proposed tax on non-primary and corporate-owned homes and thinks it will pass due to anti-billionaire sentiment, despite a lot of realtor pushback. Scott details how Carl DeMaio is using strategic expenditures and deceptive voter guides in the State Senate District 50 and Board of Supervisors District 5 races to settle political grudges.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Sara Hernandez, an attorney, educator, and member of the Los Angeles Community College District Board of Trustees, is running for State Senate District 26, ans she joins me on this episode of What's Next, Los Angeles.District 26, currently represented by Maria Elena Durazo, is a dense, urban district centered in Los Angeles, including Downtown LA, Boyle Heights, Echo Park, and surrounding neighborhoods. It's home to largely Latino and immigrant communities, with a mix of working-class families and renters, and it sits at the center of many of the city's biggest challenges — from housing affordability and homelessness to economic inequality and access to public services.Hernandez has spent her career working at the intersection of education, housing, and public policy. She began as a middle school teacher in LAUSD, where she founded the nonprofit Helping Young People Excel, or HYPE, to support low-income students through high school and into college. Her work with students facing homelessness, food insecurity, immigration challenges, and barriers to opportunity led her to pursue a career in law and public service.After earning her law degree, Hernandez worked in Los Angeles City Hall, helping lead community revitalization efforts through investments in housing, transportation, infrastructure, and economic development. She now practices as a housing and environmental attorney and has done extensive pro bono work representing immigrants in asylum proceedings and assisting students navigating the DACA process.In 2022, she was elected to the Los Angeles Community College District Board of Trustees, where she has focused on expanding access to education, increasing enrollment, connecting students to housing resources, and growing apprenticeship programs in the building trades.Hernandez is also active in grassroots organizing, including founding DTLA Strong, a community group that helped significantly increase voter turnout in downtown Los Angeles.https://www.sarahernandez.com/What's Next, Los Angeles? is produced and hosted by Mike Bonin, in partnership with LA Forward.

That's on this episode of WNLA.Today we turn to the race for the State Senate seat in District 26, currently held by Maria Elena Durazo, who is termed out of office.District 26 is a dense, urban district centered in Los Angeles, including Downtown LA, Boyle Heights, Echo Park, and surrounding neighborhoods.

The American electoral foundation is shaking as reports of duplicate absentee ballots surface in key battlegrounds like Green Bay and Madison, Wisconsin. This episode dives deep into the administrative "errors" that skeptics argue are symptoms of a manufactured system designed to rob the will of the people. We examine the harrowing legal battle of patriot whistleblower Tina Peters, who remains imprisoned after uncovering alleged vulnerabilities in the voting machine matrix, while a "rotted" judicial system denies her basic motions for a fair hearing. From election integrity to the double standards of justice, we pull back the curtain on a political class that appears more interested in protecting its own power than the voices of the citizens it claims to represent.We are joined by Dr. Rich Guggenheim, an internationally recognized agricultural scientist and candidate for Colorado's State Senate District 25. Dr. Guggenheim shares his firsthand experience as a whistleblower facing disciplinary hearings for exposing the misuse of federal funds for DEI initiatives and discusses his relentless First Amendment battle against legislative "curation" of free speech. Later, we head to the streets of Philadelphia with activist John Allante McAuley. After being forcibly removed from a City Council meeting for opposing "ICE OUT" bills, McAuley breaks down the blatant violation of constitutional rights occurring in our urban centers and shares his mission to "Flip Philly Red" through raw, boots-on-the-ground engagement.This broadcast isn't just about identifying the problems; it's about the growing movement of Americans who refuse to be silenced by the manufactured chaos and division. We take a hard look at the "backstabbing" within the GOP, highlighted by Nancy Mace's revelations regarding the protection of radical figures, and contrast the treatment of patriots with those who profit from fraud and national disrespect. From the legislative halls of Denver to the council chambers of Philadelphia, the narrative is cracking. Watch as we expose the traps laid by the elite and empower you with the truth needed to reclaim accountability, representation, and the very soul of the nation.

A neighborhood leader and civil rights advocate, Ellen Evans is running for State Senate District 24.

She is the co-founder of the Doheny Sunset Plaza Neighborhood Association, where she has represented more than 2,000 households and led efforts to improve public safety, address homelessness, and support responsible housing development. She also serves as Vice President of her local Neighborhood Council, where she has worked on land use, wildfire preparedness, and environmental protections.Evans' background spans public policy, labor, and the arts. After graduating from Brown University, she worked as a union carpenter on major construction projects and later as a union apprentice film editor, eventually earning her M.F.A. in screenwriting from Columbia University. She has also been active in civil rights advocacy for decades, including work with Equality California Institute, where she helped lead efforts in the wake of Proposition 8.She says her campaign is focused on defending reproductive freedom and civil rights, fully funding public schools, tackling the housing crisis responsibly, investing in wildfire prevention, and growing the local economy to support working families and small businesses.https://www.ellen4senate.com/What's Next, Los Angeles? is produced and hosted by Mike Bonin, in partnership with LA Forward.

Democratic gubernatorial candidate Olu Brown joined the show to tackle Ron's queries on viability and the scant polling that doesn't have him on their radar. He spoke of his grassroots activism translating to his campaign while championing voting rights, education reform, healthcare expansion, and how he plans to tackle housing and transportation challenges across the state.Later, Jack Zibluk, a Democratic candidate in Georgia's State Senate District 53 race, discussed his runoff campaign and the strategy to boost turnout in northwest Georgia. Ron also took a closer look at the special election in Georgia's 14th Congressional District and what they mean for Shawn Harris' short-and-long term viability. Later, Ron reviewed Senate subcommittee testimony from David J. Bier of the CATO Institute, who confirmed - much to Senator Lindsey Graham's chagrin - that immigrants - including the undocumented - have lessened the federal debt by more than $14 trillion in the last three decades.

An important note: this discussion involves the March primary, NOT the ongoing special election runoffs in Houston's CD 18 and Tarrant County's State Senate District 9 - it is specific to the March primary's Election Day on Tuesday March 3, and specific to voters in Dallas and Williamson Counties.The county Republican Parties of Williamson and Dallas Counties have chosen to eliminate countywide voting sites on Election Day of the primary, Tuesday March 3 - which means that voters in those counties, who have become accustomed to voting with convenience through the final day, may be surprised to learn that they must vote at specific locations geared to their addresses on that last day of voting - a move guaranteed to result in the disenfranchisement of voters who find themselves in the wrong location, and out of time, as the 2026 primary election ends. To talk about how (and why) this has happened, we welcome Dallas Democratic Party Chair Kardal Coleman, and Williamson County Democratic Party Chair Kim Gilby.Everything you need to know to be sure your registration is in order and that you're ready to roll in this crucial mid-term election year can be found at https://govotetexas.org/.Thanks for listening!

Today on Steel News with Ann Vandersteel, we examine the unfinished business of January 6, through the eyes of a man who paid one of the highest prices.Stewart Rhodes, founder of the Oath Keepers, was convicted of seditious conspiracy and sentenced to 18 years in prison, despite never entering the U.S. Capitol. His sentence was later commuted, not pardoned, leaving his conviction intact and his civil exposure unresolved.As civil cases continue against President Trump under Reconstruction-era statutes like the Third Enforcement Act of 1871, and as courts deny presidential immunity by reframing Trump as a political candidate rather than a sitting executive, the legal architecture of January 6 remains very much alive.We explore how commutations versus pardons affect veterans' rights and benefits, how militia groups were legally isolated from Trump to preserve civil liability, and why the same laws once used after the Civil War are now being repurposed to reshape modern American politics.And in Segment Two, we bring the conversation home, to Michigan, where citizens like Chadwick Twillman, a candidate for State Senate District 35, are stepping forward to challenge unchecked government power at the state level, where the Constitution either holds or collapses.This is about oaths.Who keeps them.Who breaks them.And who finally says: enough.Follow: ANN VANDERSTEEL https://AnnVandersteel.comSPONSORS:https://AmericanMadeFoundation.orghttps://AmericanMadeAction.orgHEALTHY FOOD & BEAUTYSUPERFOODS https://VandersteelHealth.comReady to save big on your superfoods purchase?

In this week's AgNet News Hour, Nick Papagni and Lori Boyer sit down with Alexandra Duarte, almond grower and candidate for California State Senate District 4, to discuss the challenges facing rural communities, water management, and the future of agriculture. Duarte shares her campaign vision, emphasizing the importance of infrastructure, state and federal collaboration, and empowering the next generation of farmers. The episode also features an interview with Leslie Hickle and Eamonn Keogh from Farm Sense, showcasing innovative AI-driven solutions for real-time pest management in orchards. Alexandra Duarte: Fighting for Rural Communities and Agriculture Alexandra Duarte has spent decades in agriculture and understands firsthand the pressures on California's farmers. On the campaign trail, she's heard consistent concerns from sheriffs, educators, and local business owners: high costs of water and energy, staffing shortages, and limited rural resources. Duarte argues that California doesn't have a water shortage, but rather a “Sacramento problem”, and she's committed to working with both state and federal agencies to solve these challenges. Duarte highlights her strong relationships in Washington, including ties through her husband, former Congressman John Duarte, as a key asset for navigating agricultural policy. She plans to prioritize water management, infrastructure, and natural resources in rural communities, ensuring funding from Sacramento benefits the Central Valley, not just coastal regions. She also stresses the importance of supporting young farmers, promoting agricultural education through FFA and 4-H programs, and encouraging more farmers and business leaders to step into political roles. Farm Sense: AI Technology for Smarter Farming Following the main interview, the show turns to innovation in the field with Leslie Hickle and Eamonn Keogh of Farm Sense. Their AI-powered sensors provide real-time data on orchard pests, including navel orangeworm and codling moth, enabling growers to optimize treatment timing and reduce chemical use. With pricing comparable to traditional sticky traps and environmentally conscious benefits like reduced CO2 emissions, Farm Sense is helping farmers save money, improve efficiency, and move toward more organic practices. Growers can monitor pest populations via mobile devices, customize treatments based on life stage analysis, and reduce unnecessary labor. Hickle and Keogh emphasize that technology like this is critical as farming evolves, particularly in the era of AI and automation. Looking Ahead: Agriculture, Automation, and Small Business The conversation also touches on the broader challenges facing farmers and small businesses, including labor shortages, minimum wage pressures, and automation. Duarte and the AgNet team highlight the need for ROI-focused solutions that help small farms remain competitive, while new technology and delivery trends are reshaping rural economies. They also explore the role of consumers in supporting small businesses over large corporations, emphasizing sustainability and local community impact.

Veteran and former state representative Andrew Beeler, who served aboard the USS Decatur (DDG-73) and represented Michigan's 83rd and 64th House districts, is stepping up again, officially launching his campaign for Michigan's 25th State Senate District. In this episode, we walk through his journey from Naval officer to public servant, including his work fighting for veterans, championing education reform, and pushing for accountability in Lansing. Beeler reflects on what motivated him to run for the Senate, how his military experience shapes his views on service and sacrifice, and what he hopes to achieve for Michigan families, small-town communities, and veterans transitioning to civilian life. If you care about strong leadership, conservative values, and policies grounded in real-world experience, this is a conversation worth hearing.

Hello! Welcome to the first hour of the Civic Media Spotlight! We hope you enjoy your stay! We begin with the Maggie Dawn Show! Sarah Harrison, running for State Senate District 5, discusses her logistics expertise and commitment to addressing economic pressures, reproductive rights, and environmental issues, all while emphasizing practical solutions over partisan politics. And she is a champion Excel user (how cool is that)! We then shift our focus to Nite Lite with Pete Schwaba. He is joined by Travel Wisconsin's Logan Wroge for some trivia fun and talks about what is going on around our great state this fall. Next, we have Mornings with Pat Krietlow. Pat speaks with Jill Underly, Wisconsin Superintendent of Public Instruction, to talk about the annual “State of Education” remarks she recently delivered at the State Capitol. Underly explains how under the Trump administration, the federal government has become the biggest bully in our classrooms. And she addresses whether she thinks the public is recognizing how the legislature is shortchanging public schools, which is forcing a record number of local referendums asking people to raise their property taxes. To end the first hour of the Civic Media Spotlight, we have the John and Gordy Show discussing Tom Homan, the former acting director of ICE. Gordy mocked Tom Homan's voice by doing an over-the-top impression of him, comparing his voice to that of a professional wrestler. JAG found it particularly funny when Homan, in his passionate defense, began referring to himself in the third person, stating, "Tom Homan isn't going anywhere. Tom Homan is not shutting up."

Taylor, the first Democrat in decades to hold the office, has focused on mental health, human trafficking, and gang issues, replacing the controversial 287(g) immigration program. He aims to continue these reforms if re-elected. Baker, a former deputy featured on "Live PD," criticizes Taylor's handling of deputy retention and morale. He pledges to reinstate the Jail Dogs program and improve crime-fighting collaboration with other agencies, emphasizing public safety and crime reduction.

Then it was hit at the scene A Gwinnett County fire engine crew responded to a car accident at Buford Highway and Davenport Road, only for their fire truck to be sideswiped by another vehicle while they were assisting at the scene. This incident unfolded right in front of the Duluth Police Department Headquarters, adding to the chaos. The initial crash happened when a vehicle made a left turn in front of another. Fortunately, no firefighters were injured, but the intersection was temporarily closed, causing traffic delays as first responders managed the scene. STORY 5:  There are 20 legislative races on the ballot in Gwinnett In the upcoming November 5 election, about two-thirds of Gwinnett County's legislative seats are contested. Out of 31 seats in the Georgia General Assembly, 20 are up for grabs. Key races include State Senate District 48, where indicted incumbent Shawn Still faces Ashwin Ramaswami, and House District 105, with Farooq Mughal against Sandy Donatucci. Notable unopposed candidates include Chuck Efstration and Arlene Beckles. The election features several races with significant implications, such as those involving Gwinnett's Muslim legislators and efforts to shift district political balances. Break 3:   STORY 6:     TOP PRIORITIES: Gwinnett Candidates Talk Public Safety and Affordable Housing The Gwinnett County Commission District 1 race highlights key issues like public safety and housing affordability. Incumbent Democrat Kirkland Carden emphasizes crime reduction, while Republican Tim Le focuses on housing costs. The election could shift control of the commission, with three seats, including the chair and Districts 1 and 3, up for grabs. Chairwoman Nicole Love Hendrickson and her opponent John Sabic debate housing and development strategies. In District 3, Jasper Watkins III and Bobby Howard prioritize public safety and fiscal responsibility. The outcomes will influence the commission's approach to these critical issues. STORY 7:  Buford Reunion: Texas WR Isaiah Bond, Georgia DB K.J. Bolden Meet Saturday In the upcoming college football clash between No. 1 Texas and No. 5 Georgia, Texas' offensive success may depend on junior receiver Isaiah Bond's health. Bond, a key player with 369 yards and three touchdowns this season, is questionable due to an ankle injury. Georgia coach Kirby Smart acknowledges Bond's explosive talent, noting his speed and agility. If Bond plays, he might face former Buford teammate K.J. Bolden, a freshman defensive back for Georgia with impressive stats. Bond previously played at Alabama and was a standout at Buford High, while Bolden is a five-star prospect with a strong high school record.   We'll have final thoughts after this.   Break 4: Ingles Markets (Salts) 8 Signoff – Thanks again for hanging out with us on today's Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast.

Happy Saturday! Guest Shelby Doyle, National School Choice Awareness Foundation, joins to discuss the latest Kansas conversation of school choice, the first year of open enrollment, creating more competition in education industry, micro schooling and more.  Guest Stephen Owens, State Rep and candidate for State Senate District 31, joins to discuss latest on the campaign trail.

Yvette Valdes-Smith knows firsthand how spiraling housing costs have made Beacon unaffordable to many. Yvette and her husband rented in Beacon for years, but moved to Fishkill when they realized they couldn't afford to buy a home here.  “We shouldn't have to struggle with paying our utility bills, our rent and our mortgages,” she says in our interview. “Affordability is critical to me and to pretty much every voter I've spoken to. And housing is a huge issue. It's going to require us not being NIMBY about things. We have to increase housing stock.”   Raised in Isla Verde, Puerto Rico, Yvette went to college in New York, became a public school teacher and started a family before winning a seat on the Dutchess County Legislature, where she is Minority Leader. Now she's running for NY State Senate District 39 on the Democratic ticket.  In addition to housing affordability, her campaign is focused on issues like abortion rights, gender-affirming care, gun safety and youth services.  “We need more youth services,” she says. “I'm a mom. I've experienced the lack of childcare in this county. I've experienced youth programs closing or not being available. Think about summer camps, how they'll go online and they'll be gone in three seconds.”  But winning won't be easy. The current State Senator in the seat she's running for, Republican Rob Rolison, is a seasoned pol who won the spot by about 7,000 votes two years ago. In this episode, she talks about what it will take to beat him – including lots and lots of canvassing in purple and red areas of the district.  Senate District encompasses Beacon along with parts of Putnam, Dutchess and Orange counties.
