June Primary Election Results
Election Update: SEIU Wins Major Victories, Defeating Prop. 98 and Helping Scores of Working-Family-Friendly Candidates Advance

In the June primary election, SEIU helped defeat the dangerous and deceptive Prop. 98, which would have gutted rent control and environmental laws and made it nearly impossible to build public works, by a 61% (No) - 39% (Yes) margin. We also helped pass real homeowner protection, Prop. 99, in a 62.5% (Yes) - 37.5% (No) vote.
  For the California Assembly races – in a remarkable sweep – in every district where we endorsed a candidate, we won, and a 2/3 majority of SEIU-backed candidates won their Senate seats as well. In Congress, we helped Mike Lumpkin (D, CD 52) win his primary in the only district without an incumbent running. And in a closely watched, key local race, SEIU and labor allies helped lift longtime champion of working people Senator Mark Ridley-Thomas above the crowd in his L.A. County Supervisor bid, positioning him well for a November run-off.
