SUMMARY OF OFFICIAL VOTE RESULTS
See detailed list further below.

The Coordinating Committee vacancy was filled by Josh Jones. The three
vacancies for alternate seats on the GP-US delegation, in order of ranking,
were Rodolfo Cortes Barragan, Timeka Drew, and Jesse Townley. The General
Assembly minutes from June 2017 were approved.

The Ballot Measures were endorsed except for a result of “Oppose” for ID
141, Proposition 70, regarding the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Reserve Fund.
The GPCA endorsements are in alignment with recommendations that will be in
the Voter Guide produced by Alameda County for the June 2018 primary
election.

The approval of both Bylaws Interpretations enabled the SGA to vote for the
GP-US vacancies (as reported above), and for endorsements of
ballot-qualified Green statewide candidates. Also  passed was the
Endorsement Policy Amendment (ID 155) that enabled us to endorse non-Green
statewide candidates who qualify to be on the California ballot, including
Peace and Freedom, and No Party Preference candidates, in races where there
were no ballot-qualified Green candidates.

With three exceptions, all candidates were endorsed. The three exceptions
were “No Position” for Governor candidate Chris Carlson, and for both
Secretary of State candidates Michael Feinstein and Erik Rydberg.

Bylaws Interpretations and Bylaws Amendments were approved, with the
required two-thirds majority, with two exceptions, ID 159 and ID 160.

Thank you for participating as a Standing General Assembly delegate for the
Green Party of California.

Best regards,
Green Party of California Standing General Assembly Vote Administrators
