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, 97 votes for 26.5% in San Francisco County)
Leonard Peltier (2,809 votes for 59.2% statewide, 269 votes for 73.5% in San Francisco 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 San Francisco 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 349 votes in San Francisco County, of 4,864 in the entire state.

There were four propositions on the statewide ballot March 2nd:
