Ballot measure to streamline environmental permitting for building projects fails

California voters have rejected Proposition 45, a bid by the California Chamber of Commerce, home-builder consortiums and some affordable housing advocates to streamline the permitting process for certain building projects through the California Environmental Quality Act. Polls had shown voters closely split over the measure leading up to Election Day, and it took several days of ballot counting for the Associated Press to call the race at 5:34 p.m. Saturday with an estimated 76% of votes counted. About 56% of voters opposed Prop. 45 and about 44% had cast a yes vote. The measure needed a majority to become law. Though on first blush it appeared a ballot measure deep in the weeds of environmental policy, Prop. 45 led to one of the more contentious ballot fights in this election cycle . Environmentalists, labor unions and public health organizations were at the heart of what ultimately became a sprawling coalition against the measure, while a wide range of business and agricultural interests, particularly the California Building Association, supported the campaign in favor. Proponents argued Prop. 45 was what the state needed to jumpstart an era of construction that would ease its cost of living and housing crises. Opponents accused the

Salinas voters reject bid to repeal rent stabilization

A ballot measure to repeal rent stabilization in Salinas was defeated Tuesday after the final batch of election night results came in. Measure H, if passed, would have repealed four tenant-related ordinances, including a requirement that all rental units be part of a citywide registry. After the final election night report from the County of Monterey Elections Department, “no” votes led by 59.1% to 40.9%, with 11,590 votes opposed and 8,013 in favor. Protect Salinas Renters, the community group behind the No on H campaign, said in a statement that “the results of Measure H are clear: Salinas voters turned out in force to stand with renters and working families.” “This wasn’t just an election, it was a movement,” the statement continued. “It began when community groups and residents first started organizing for protections after intense rent hikes during the pandemic hit the community hard. The movement picked up pace when a newly elected city council majority voted to strip away critical renter protections in 2025. Since then, tenants, labor unions, community organizations, and concerned residents united under a shared understanding: families deserve stability, dignity, and protection from displacement. “Our gratitude runs deep for every volunteer who knocked on doors,

In California Senate District 4 election, Duarte has lead over Brandon in early returns

Editor’s note: Election result numbers in the story will continue to be updated. The numbers in the graphic below are the most up-to-date. Republican Alexandra Duarte held an early lead over Democrat Jaron Brandon on Tuesday night in California’s closely watched Senate District 4 race, as both candidates expressed optimism about their chances and emphasized the rising cost of living as a major concern for voters. Early, unofficial election results showed Duarte leading with 123,606 votes, or 52.2%, compared with 113,160 votes, or 47.8%, for Brandon, according to the California Secretary of State’s Office. Additional ballots remained to be counted, and the outcome had not been determined. Duarte, a Modesto-area farmer and the wife of former Republican congressman John Duarte, spoke with The Bee at a Republican election watch party at Ten Pin Fun Center in Turlock. “We’re watching the ballots come in,” Duarte said. “We’re cautiously optimistic about this.” Brandon, a Tuolumne County supervisor, spoke at a Democratic election-night gathering at the North Valley Labor Federation in downtown Modesto, where he described the experience of awaiting election returns as a roller coaster. “I feel really good about the results that we’re seeing,” Brandon said. “But, you know, also we
