Donald Trump, Republican
President
Description:
Our 45th President of these United States of America, duly elected by an electoral vote majority of 304-227.
MarinGOP:
Despite unrelenting attacks from the mainstream media and being subjected to the Democrat Party’s unfounded investigations and impeachment, Donald Trump has negotiated trade agreements that help Americans, improved Border Security and implemented policies that led to the lowest unemployment levels in a half-century. All Americans benefited from his policies.
He stands up to our enemies by promoting Peace through Strength. He appoints judges who rule on the law as written, not judges who make law.
He will lead us through the COVID-19 epidemic making the hard decisions that balance public health and economic security. He has our unqualified endorsement for reelection. Keep America Great!

Measure A - Novato School District
Description:
Novato
MarinGOP:
Novato Unified School District has been plagued by waste and budget problems for years. The school board has no coherent plan to address budget shortfalls except to burden homeowners with more taxes.

NO 10,890 (45%) WINNER required 2/3 majority
Our approach to local tax measures is as follows: Good schools and public safety agencies are essential to any community, but these tax increases are being used to finance shortfalls in funding employee pensions and benefits. Despite repeated warnings from financial experts, local officials have not come up with realistic sustainable policies. To get these measures passed, they employ scare tactics such as massive layoffs of teachers and other essential employees. This is bad policy, as these add-on taxes make it harder for young working families to live in Marin.
Vote NO!
Measure B - Tamalpais Unified High Parcel Tax
Description:
MarinGOP:
Tamalpais Unified High School District wanted to double the parcel tax in 2018, but agreed to half that increase in exchange for a local taxpayer group’s endorsement. In the meantime, the new school board promised to come up with a sustainable budget. The Board reneged on its agreement and had the chutzpah to ask for the rest of the increase only 15 months later. We feel this is an insult to taxpayers.
Results:
Yes 36,296 (64%)
No 20,563 (36%) WINNER required 2/3 majority.

Measure C - Marin Wildfire Prevention Authority Parcel Tax
Description:
Marin
MarinGOP:
Marin’s Board of Supervisors is seeking a parcel tax to support fire prevention measures supervised by an unelected board. We feel that there is adequate funding for these measures and this is best handled by local fire departments and city councils that are accountable to the public. Belvedere and Tiburon agreed with us and opted out of the countywide measure.
Results:
Yes 75,638 (71%) WINNER required 2/3 majority
NO 31,200 (29%)

Measure D - San Geronimo
Description:
MarinGOP:
Supervisor Dennis Rodoni, who represents the San Geronimo Valley, engineered a backroom deal with the Trust for Public Land to purchase the San Geronimo Golf Course and return it to a wild state, supposedly to protect the salmon in San Geronimo Creek. This was done without input from the residents, against the law which states land use changes are decided by public vote. There is no evidence that the golf course operations were harming the salmon. After hearing from both sides, the Marin GOP endorses Measure D, which restores the right of the people to determine use of the land.

Measure I - Smart Train
Description:
Sonoma and Marin
MarinGOP:
The SMART Train has been a boondoggle from its inception. An overpaid, incompetent, unelected board of directors is asking for a renewal of the ¼ cent sales a full nine years before its expiration and wants to extend it through 2059. Ridership has been dismal, despite fares being subsidized by taxpayers by 80% of the cost! The COVID-19 epidemic has encouraged more to work from home, further obviating the need for an underused commuter rail. It’s time to stop putting good money after bad.

Proposition 13 - School Bonds
Description:
Proposition 13 - Authorizes Bonds for Facility Repair, Construction, and Modernization at Public Preschools, K-12 Schools, Community Colleges, and Universities
MarinGOP:
This statewide measure bears no resemblance to the iconic tax cutting measure passed 40 years ago. It authorizes Bonds for public schools and colleges and will only add to the state’s massive debt. The California School System has had adequate funding for years, but has been plagued by waste. A recent audit revealed that billions of dollars remain unaccounted for. Don’t add to the problem. Vote NO.
Results:
Yes 4,304,013 (47%)
No 4,856,154 (53%) WINNER required 2/3 majority.
California Proposition 13 was the first statewide education-related bond issue that voters rejected since 1994.
