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:
(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 Sonoma 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 205 votes
in Sonoma 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 Sonoma County, the
vote was 79,408 (54.8%) to 65,650 (45.2%).
- 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 Sonoma County, the
vote was 61,104 (42.2%) to 83,535 (57.8%).

In Sonoma County, the vote was 88,015 (60.4%) to 57,759 (39.6%).

everything else), except for this year. Peace and Freedom urged you to vote
