Got the #California #primary #voter guide in the mail. (You can see it online at https://vig.cdn.sos.ca.gov/2026/primary/pdf/complete-vig.pdf)

There are some 60+ candidates for Governor. Some of them, well, the nicest way I can say this is that they would be well served if they sought professional help. Many of the candidate photos are less than flattering.

One candidate, Akinyemi Agbede, has a web site with videos of his workout sessions: https://thenextgovernorofcalifornia2026.net

Others that caught my attention:
* Frederic C. Schultz (page 18)
* Daniel Mercuri (page 22)
* Naomi Bar-Lev (page 22)
* Don J. Grundmann (page 24). Total neo-nazi shit here. So bad that the secretary of state had to add a disclaimer: “The views and opinions expressed by the candidates are their own and do not represent the views and opinions of the Secretary of State’s office”
* LivingForGod AndCountry DeMott (page 28) Once you get past the name, he’s not totally unreasonable.

I love reading my voter guides here in #WA

Some total wack-a-doodles but it's one way I am reassured that #Democracy isn't *entirely* dead here in the #USA , & that I could use that platform too, for a very small fee

Solidarity from #Tacoma!
