PROTECT OUR PLANET — VOTE CLIMATE
California is holding an election primary on June 2, with the headline race to select the top two candidates for Governor to replace the termed-out Gavin Newsom. The SR Steering Committee voted unanimously to endorse Tom Steyer for Governor of California as Tom is generally considered the strongest environmental champion of all the 60+ candidates on the ballot. Here is a link to a voting scorecard created by the Center for Biological Diversity Action Team which will give you much more information in helping to understand why SR is strongly endorsing Tom Steyer: https://centeractionfund.org/wp-content/uploads/Updated-California-Governors-Race-Environmental-Scorecard-April-2026.pdf
In addition, Brad Waite is seeking people to actively support Tom’s campaign by making phone calls to voters to encourage them to vote for Tom. His campaign is holding at least one phone banking session a day, sometimes two. When you sign up for a session, their campaign staff will provide brief but effective training on how to use their phoning platform to make the calls without your need to dial or use your own phone. They also provide scripts you can follow for most of the conversations you’re likely to have with the voter. For anyone interested but hesitant, Brad will do personal individual or very small group trainings to get you comfortable enough to get started. And we can even do the phoning in person someplace here in Rossmoor if that will help.
Contact Brad at bradwaite@comcast.net or on his cell phone at (925) 285-4146. With the primary coming up on June 2 and ballots already mailed out, time is of the essence. Invite your friends and family! If we can get 10+ callers for our own session, we can hold it any time we want as long as it is during socially acceptable hours, usually 9AM to 9PM.
