Alameda County Primary Ballot

Click link to sign up to track your ballot ​- Endorsement codes appear at bottom of page

Fold ballot along existing creases, insert the two ballot cards separately into return envelope.

IT IS A JUNGLE: In our terrible “Top Two” Primary system, the ONLY way to get any conservative onto the November ballot is to vote for ONE Republican per Office in the Primary. With two or more Republicans listed, we split the conservative vote, yielding TWO progressive Democrats on the November Ballot and NO conservative candidates. We have a Special Election in CD14 to replace Eric Swalwell (THAT ballot sent to CD14 voters on May 16).

Dear moderate Democrats “without a party” or registered as NPP: Please vote for the restoration of California economy, especially if the most appealing candidate is Republican.

Party Clash: Carl DeMaio (CA75) of Reform California (RC) reported that the 2025 California bi-annual GOP Convention voted AGAINST: (1) energy independence and (2) deporting illegal border crossers. The California GOP mood was anti-Trump at that 2025 convention and in 4/2026. DeMaio explicitly advocated on 2/2026 to cease donating to the California GOP. He repeated this on his podcast after 4/16. Even so, the CAGOP endorsements after 4/15/2026 matches his own.

CALIFORNIA


Governor 

CAGOP requires 60% of the delegates to endorse. Both Bianco and Hilton received middle 40%. Both CAGOP and supporters of RC were split 50/50. Carl DeMaio requests that you check political polls collected on his website prior to casting your ballot, asking us to vote for the leading candidate. Both are good men.

Review latest polling on CA Governor's Race here. As of 5/10, Hilton leads at 19% to Bianco 13%. The Independent edition of 5/21 spotlighted the eight leading candidates for Governor, endorsing Xavier Becerra.

  • Chad Bianco - R - (First column on ballot, halfway down) Riverside County Sheriff - Spoke at TVR 9/2025 and CRA, COCO, ACRP, and HB endorsed - First elected in 2018 and re-elected in 2022 - Has over 4000 employees reporting to him - “We are being led down a path of complete government control and socialism,” Bianco said. “This is no longer Democrat versus Republican. It is sane versus insane.” He is tired of how the government has failed California. Bianco would like to abolish the state income tax, laws driving farmers and ranchers out of business, and leave environmental regulation to the federal government. “The number one job of government is public safety,” Bianco said. His May 2026 accusation of Steve Hilton being funded by Democrat PACs is a mystery. The big contributors to Hilton are not Democratic PACS as of 4/18 according to Transparency USA.

  • Steve Hilton - R - (First column on ballot, halfway down) Small Business Owner - Spoke at CRA 2/2026 and Trump, Charlie Kirk, Rep. Kevin Kiley (now an Independent), and Vivek Ramaswamy endorsed - Commentator and Author - Hilton kicked off campaign in April 2025 in Huntington Beach, a bulwark of conservative resistance. Hilton wants practical solutions to rebuild a “ladder of opportunity,” so every Californian can have a great job and a great home — though many are ideas that the progressive Legislature is unlikely to ever support. A former Fox News host and, back when a UK citizen, policy advisor to former British Prime Minister David Cameron. Mid-May 2026 hit by “Organizations Opposing Republican Candidates for Governor” claim he is a Trump copy, which becomes a siren song for Trump supporters but possibly the Democrats think Hilton will thus be easier to defeat in November. The May 2026 blow-up about the Epstein files was an inquiry by an underling during Steve’s time in the UK asking for contact with Woody Allen (which never panned out). This is guilt by association, even though no association existed.

  • Leo Zacky - R - Farmer/Businessman/Broadcaster - Spoke at CRA 2/2026 - A poultry farm heir and perennial candidate who only received 1.3% of the 2022 gubernatorial primary and barely 0.1% in the 2021 recall election, seeded his campaign in April 2025 with $50,000 of own money.

  • James Athans, Jr - R - Real Estate Agent

  • Patricia De Luca Basualdo - R - Real Estate Broker

  • Randeep S Dhillion - R - Economist/Farmer/Businessman

  • Rafael M Hernandez - R - Businessman/Songwriter/Author

  • Alicia Olivia Lapp - R

Secretary of State

 Controller / Comptroller 

  • Herb Morgan - R - Chief Investment Officer - Spoke at TVR 9/2025 and CAGOP, COCO, RC, CRA and HB endorsed, ACRP recommended - Roger Riffenburgh wrote: Investment professional Herb Morgan says, “My campaign puts every state dollar on a public, daily, blockchain ledger.” He plans to provide ledger software to every state agency and require them all to use it. Morgan has lengthy experience in investment management and financial operations.  After several financial positions as a senior vice president, Morgan founded the investment company Efficient Market Advisors in 2004 and served as its CEO and chief investment officer. It was acquired in 2017 by Cantor Fitzgerald, a global financial services firm, where he now serves as chief investment officer of one of its divisions.  His leadership and financial management experience qualifies him well to oversee the large sums of money in California’s enormous budget. Some key functions of the state controller are: 1) to maintain the accounting system of the state government, 2) serving as an internal auditor to audit funds spent by state agencies, and 3) to supervise local government finances.

Supervisor - Third District (San Leandro-San Lorenzo-Alameda-Oakland)

  • No competition - SKIP

District Attorney

  • URSULA JONES DICKSON - D, appointed Incumbent - ursulajonesdicksonforda.com - Her literature shows experience for this role and extensively backed by Democrat leaders and groups. She did not attend 3/18 Debate, but Price complained at length that Jones Dickson accepted funding from Sheriff’s Organization and undoing work that Price started in charging Sheriff Deputies [for criminal neglect].

  • GOPAL KRISHAN, family law/immigration trial attorney - Endorsed by HB - electgopal.com - 3/18 Debate quotes: “Rehabilitation is a privilege, not a right. They have to prove that they are worthy. Otherwise, punishment is the default.” and “It is not the DA responsibility to prosecute the Sheriff’s Office for inmate deaths. That is an administrative issue [within the Sheriff’s Office] unless evidence of foul play.”

  • PAMELA PRICE - D, Civil Rights Attorney, former District Attorney, ousted by 63% in Recall Election - www.pamelaprice4da.com - 3/18 Debate quote: Price favors rehabilitation over punishment and said “We will see deaths in our jail at an unacceptable rate.

Flood Control & Water Conservation District Director, Zone 7 - Vote for 4 - See The Independent, 4/30/2026 and 5/8/2006, for seven candidate statements. “This is a geology/technology oversight role, and the ones that I endorsed are either knowledgeable of geology or have experience with large multi-million projects. The key issues are drilling two new wells in such a way not to spread the PFAS contamination plume, the huge cost to create a pipeline to chain of lakes and coordinating with various Water Boards to provide alternate reservoirs to ameliorate risk of currently getting 90% of water from a single source. Most candidates seem agreed not to distract from Zone 7’s good reputation for protecting our drinking water supply” - Harry (HB)
