Local Candidates

Senate in Los Angeles County.
U.S. House of Representatives
Alice Stek is the Peace and Freedom Party
candidate for U.S. House of Representatives in the 36th District, which
goes along the coast from Venice to Torrance, including Marina del Rey,
El Segundo, Hermosa Beach, Manhattan Beach, and Redondo Beach, then
cuts inland around Palos Verdes to include Lomita, West Carson, Harbor
City, and most of San Pedro and Wilmington. She received 124 votes, all
of which were in Los Angeles County.
State Assembly

Peace and Freedom Party Central Committees
The Peace and Freedom Party candidates for the 180 Central Committees
seats in Los Angeles County are:
- 48th Assembly District:
9 seats, one candidate, election cancelled.
- 53rd Assembly District:
6 seats, six candidates, election cancelled.
- J. Kevin Bishop (Mar Vista)
- Cindy Varella Henderson (Mar Vista)
- Peggy Lee Kennedy (Venice)
- Jim Smith (Venice)
- Alice Stek (Venice)
- Suzie Williams (Venice)
In the elections cancelled due to too few candidates, the registrar of voters
declared those candidates who qualified elected to the Central Committees.
Local Measures
There were a number of county and municipal measures that were on the ballot
March 2nd in Los Angeles County, but the Peace and Freedom Party only took a
position on one:
- Measure R (Los Angeles USD): $3.87 billion of bonds for school construction.
The rich should be taxed to pay for needed schools, not given investment
opportunities to buy bonds whose interest will be exempt from income taxes.
The Peace and Freedom urged you to vote NO on R. Despite our opposition, the
bonds passed by a vote of 335,230 (63.7%) to 191,028 (36.3%).
Statewide Candidates
President of the United States
The two candidates for the Peace and Freedom Party nomination
for President of the United States who appeared on the March 2nd ballot
were:
- Walter F. "Walt" Brown (1,938 votes for 40.7% statewide,
579 votes for 46.5% in Los Angeles County)
- Leonard Peltier (2,809 votes for 59.2% statewide,
664 votes for 53.5% in Los Angeles County)
(In addition, there were 5 write-in votes cast for Israel Feuer, who
qualified as an official write-in candidate as chair of a P&F delegation,
of which none were cast in Los Angeles County. Originally, the name of
Mumia Abu-Jamal was to appear on the
presidential ballot, but he decided just before the deadline for
withdrawing that he did not want to be considered for the Peace and
Freedom Party's Presidential nomination.)
The March Presidential Preference Primary was not binding on the
Peace and Freedom Party; the actual choice of a Presidential
candidate will be made at our August 2004 convention by the
members of the State Central Committee who were elected in the
March primary.
United States Senator
The Peace and Freedom Party candidate for U.S. Senator is
Marsha Feinland. She received 1,142 votes
in Los Angeles County, of 4,864 in the entire state.
Statewide Measures
There were four propositions on the statewide ballot March 2nd:
- Proposition 55: School Facilities Bonds. Peace and Freedom did not take a
position on this measure, because we generally oppose bonds but realize
that these are for a good purpose. The bonds were approved, by a vote of
3,239,706 (50.9%) to 3,130,921 (49.1%) statewide. In Los Angeles County, the
vote was 658,845 (51.7%) to 616,086 (48.3%).
- Proposition 56: the Budget Accountability Act. Peace and Freedom
urged you to vote YES on 56. The measure failed
to pass despite our support, by a vote of 2,185,868 (34.3%) to 4,183,188
(65.7%) statewide. In Los Angeles County, the
vote was 433,010 (33.8%) to 846,384 (66.2%).
- Proposition 57: Deficit Bonds. Peace and Freedom urged you to vote
NO on 57. The measure passed despite our
opposition, by a vote of 4,056,313 (63.4%) to 2,348,910 (36.6%) statewide.
In Los Angeles County, the vote was 813,035 (63.2%) to 473,418 (36.8%).
- Proposition 58: Prioritize Balanced Budget (above human needs, and
everything else), except for this year. Peace and Freedom urged you to vote
NO on 58. The measure passed despite our
opposition, by a vote of 4,535,084 (71.2%) to 1,841,138 (28.8%) statewide.
In Los Angeles County, the vote was 888,866 (69.4%) to 393,341 (30.6%).
