Has the Alameda County Green Party produced the promised voters guide for the June 2018 election? If so, where might it be found? I didn't see on the website.<br>

<div dir="ltr">Hello Standing General Assembly delegates,<br>
<br>
In a strong voter turnout, 100 out of 116 SGA delegates voted in the election that ended at 11:59 PM on April 1, 2018.
<br>
<br>

SUMMARY OF OFFICIAL VOTE RESULTS<br>
See detailed list further below.<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
Bylaws Interpretations and Bylaws Amendments were approved, with the required two-thirds majority, with two exceptions, ID 159 and ID 160.<br>
<br>
Thank you for participating as a Standing General Assembly delegate for the Green Party of California.
<br>
<br>
Best regards,<br>
Green Party of California Standing General Assembly Vote Administrators<br>
