Mark your calendar for NOVEMBER 8, 2022! Hemet has lots going on and your vote can make a difference! There is a critical measure on the ballot, MEASURE H. If you were living in Hemet in 2016, Measure E was on the ballot, a $.01 tax that was intended to support additional police and fire protection.
Yogi Berra would be dancing at the ballot boxes if he were around today because, up and down the ballot, it will be déjà vu all over again in November around Southern California.
California voters for the second time in a year, will decide whether to keep Gov. Gavin Newsom in office. Newsom is running for a second term leading the state, carrying the momentum of soundly defeating a recall attempt and another massive budget surplus.
With the turn of the calendar to 2022, Republicans are not only looking to the 2022 midterm elections but to the prospect of Donald Trump running in 2024. Trump is hugely popular with the party’s base and that popularity freezes the plans of other possible candidates for the 2024 nomination. Trump’s hold on that nomination is brittle, however, because of his age. On election day in 2024 Donald Trump will be 78 years old. That is one year older than Ronald Reagan’s age when he left office in 1988.
Overall, I felt that we were accomplishing a lot in the city and I felt that I had more to do. We’re not finished with what we started. I hope that one full term will help finish it and I can get out and let somebody else come in.
