November 2024 Voter Guide and Election Results
As we enter this new political era, we are called to redouble our local, regional, and state efforts to build a more resilient Bay Area. Beyond the nail-biting presidential elections, there are local and regional races that will deliver impactful transformation to our lives in California and the Bay Area. Read our editorial “Resilience Strongholds At the Local Level” on the election results here.
Among the 15 propositions and measures that Greenbelt Alliance assessed and endorsed this cycle, at least 10 resulted in wins so far.
Most impactful will be Proposition 4— also known as the California Climate Bond—which passed with 58% of the votes. This vital new policy will inject a historic $10 billion to fight climate hazards like flooding, droughts, and wildfire—while allowing the state to preserve precious natural resources and ensure the health and safety of our communities. This will be the largest investment and most significant financial commitment in the state’s history to address our worsening climate crisis. Check out our full voter guide results below:
