Two U.S. Senate Contests on Ballot
The office of U.S. Senate will have TWO separate contests on the
November 8,2022, General Election ballot. You may vote on both.
The first contest is the regular election for the full 6-year term of
office beginning on January 3,2023 (full term). The second contest is
a special vacancy election, since the current officeholder is
temporarily filing a vacancy, for the remainder of the term ending on
January 3, 2023 (partial/unexpired term).
Redistricting and Voting
To get an updated count of the country's population, the U.S.
Constitution requires a federal census every ten years. California
uses that census data to redraw the Congressional, State Senate,
State Assembly, and State Board of Equalization districts based on
population changes. The independent California Citizens
Redistricting Commission (CCRC) uses the new census data to
redraw the Congressional, State Senate, State Assembly, and State
Board of Equalization district boundaries. The boundaries for local
districts, such as county supervisorial, school districts, community
services districts, special districts, and city council districts, are
drawn by those governing bodies and not by the CCRC.
Changes in representation for San Luis Obispo County is as follows:
2011 2022
Congressional
24th District 19th & 24th Districts
State Assembly
35th District 30th & 37th Districts

ELECTIONS IN CALIFORNIA
The Top Two Candidates Open Primary Act requires that all
candidates for a voter-nominated office be listed on the same
ballot. Voter-nominated offices include state legislative offices,
U.S. congressional offices, and state constitutional offices.
ln both the open primary and general elections, you can vote for
any candidate regardless of what party preference you indicated
on your voter registration form. ln the primary election, the two
candidates receiving the most votes - regardless of party
preference - move on to the general election. lf a candidate
receives a majority of the vote (at least 50 percent + 1), a general
election still must be held.
California's open primary system does not apply to candidates
running for U.S. President, county central committee, or local
offices.
Write-in candidates for voter-nominated offices can still run in the
primary election. However, a write-in candidate can only move on
to the general election if the candidate is one of the top two vote-
getters in the primary election. Additionally, there is no
independent nomination process for a general election.
Voter-N om i nated Offices
Political parties are not entitled to formally nominate candidates
for voter-nominated offices at the primary election. A candidate
nominated for a voter-nominated office at the primary election is
the nominee of the people and notthe officialnominee of any party
at the general election. A candidate for nomination to a voter-
nominated office shall have their qualified party preference, or lack
of qualified party preference, stated on the ballot, but the party
preference designation is selected solely by the candidate and is
shown for the information of the voters only. lt does not mean the
candidate is nominated or endorsed by the party designated, or
that there is an affiliation between the party and candidate, and no
candidate nominated by the voters shall be deemed to be the
officially nominated candidate of any political party. The parties
may submit a list of the candidates for voter-nominated offices
who have received the party's official endorsement, which will be
printed in the county voter information guide.
FP-CAELECTTONS_I sLo66_004
Any voter may vote for any candidate for a voter-nominated office,
if they meet the other qualifications required to vote for that office.
The top two vote-getters at the primary election move on to the
general election for the voter-nominated office even if both
candidates have specified the same party preference designation.
No party is entitled to have a candidate with its party preference
designation move on to the general election unless the candidate
is one of the two highest voter-getters at the primary election.
Nonpartisan Offices
Political parties are not entitled to nominate candidates for
nonpartisan offices at the primary election, and a candidate at the
primary election is not the official nominee of any party for the
specific office at the general election. A candidate for nomination
to a nonpartisan office may not designate their party preference,
or lack of party preference, on the ballot. The top two vote-getters
at the primary election move on to the general election for the
nonpartisan office. Any candidate for a nonpartisan office who
receives a majority of the vote (at least 50 percent + 1) in the
primary election will be elected to that office and the contest will
not appear on the ballot for the general election.
REQUIREMENTS FOR FIRST TIME VOTERS
The Help America Vote Act requires first time federal voters to
show identification when voting. You will be required to show your
current valid photo l.D. and/or a copy of one of the following that
shows your name and address when you go to the polls on
election day: Current utility bill, bank statement, government
check, government paycheck, or a government document. You
will be required to send a copy of one of the above documents
with your voted vote-by-mail ballot. lf you have questions about
your status as a First Time Voter, please contact us.

How Your Vote is Counted
Polling places close at 8:00 pm on Election Night, but it can take a few
hours for all locations to report results, and weeks before the final totals
are known. Ever wondered why? Here's a quick look at what happens to
your ballot after you cast it.
Election Night
. The first results are posted shortly after 8:00 pm - these are the
Vote by Mail ballots that were returned and processed early.
. After that, we must wait for the first of the polling places across
the county to complete their paperwork, pack up their supplies,
and return the ballots - this can take more than an hour.
o As polling places report in, their results are tabulated and
compiled into countywide results.
o The posted results are updated periodically throughout the night.
. When all polling places have reported, the Election Night counting
is done; however, there are still more ballots to count and a lot
more work to do before the results become official (see below).
Ballots counted after Election Day
. "Last Minute" Vote by Mail Ballots: Vote by Mail ballots that
arrive the day before or on Election Day either by mail, returned at
a polling place or deposited in a Ballot Drop Box, are processed,
and counted in the days after Election Day and therefore are not
included in the election night results reporting.
r Postmarked Vote by Mail Ballots: Under California law, ballots
may be counted even if they arrive after Election Day, as long as
they are received by mail no later than 7 days after the election and
are postmarked on or before Election Day.
. Missing or Mismatched Signature: A voter's signature on the
returned vote-by-mail identification envelope must compare with
the signature(s) in the voter's registration record. lf the voter did
not sign the ballot envelope, or if the elections official has
determined that the signature on the envelope does not compare
to the signature(s) of the voter in the voter's record, the ROV will,
provide the voter with the applicable notice to cure the missing or
mismatched signature. This notice must be returned to the ROV no
later than 2 days prior to the certification of the election.
. Provisional Ballots: These are the last ballots counted because
they must be researched and verified; it may take a few weeks, but
every valid vote will be counted.

Occupation: City Councilmember / Teacher
Education and Qualifications: Dear Neighbor,
It has been my privilege to work as a public school teacher for the last 20 years, and to serve my
community as a local City Councilmember. As a mother of two and a public servant, I want to
help build a brighter future for Calitornia and protect the things we love about the Central Coast.
As a City Councilmember, I have worked to reduce homelessness, improve city services:and
outreach, protect our environment and open space, and support local workers and businesses
throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. I am running for State Assembly to advance these values
and causes across California, and to be a responsive and effective advocate for the residents of
our dishict.
As a public school teacher, I have worked with children with special needs, and as a bilingual
educator, I have helped develop curriculum for students learning English. My classroom
experience has taught me that we need more investment across public education, from early
childhood education through the UC and CSU systems.
My campaign for State Assembly has been endorsed by more than 300 organizations and
leaders, including groups who represent Central Coast firefighters, paramedics, nurses, law
enforcement personnel, teachers, school employees, and grocery workers.
I would be honored to earn your vote for State Assembly. lf you have questions or thoughts about

Education and Qualifications: I'm Vicki Nohrden and l'm running to be your voice in the
California Assembly. From jobs to education, our legislators are taking us for a ride to the far
extremes. Our state government is increasingly ineffective, unbalanced, and out of touch.
Small businesses are shuggling to survive. What do legislators do? They introduce legislation to
ban independent contractors and impose harmful new regulations, taxes, and fees on
businesses throughout the state. 0ur public schools struggle to provide quality education, leaving
students behind. What do legislators do? They prioritize divisive, politically driven measures
instead of working to support academic success. Our children are paying the price.
Our state had a $90 billion budget surplus last year, yet homelessness remains at crisis levels.
What do legislators do? Mismanage funding and shirk accountability, preventing the
implementation of viable solutions.
I am running for office to help fix our failing model which rewards party loyalty over problem-
solving. A proven leader in non-profit and business for over two decades, my public service
includes standing up for children, families, and victims of crime while bridging party lines to make
local government work for local people. I will take that experience and approach to our state
government, working to represent you in the State Assembly.
It's time to bring checks and balances to Sacramento and most importantly, it's time for a leader
who listens. Thank you for your vote. Learn more about me at www.ElectVicki.com or email me
at Vicki@ElectVicki.Com. Feel free to call me (831) 200-5922.

Corte de Familia
Educaci6n y Gualificaciones: Mi nombre es Vicki Nohrden y quiero ser su representante en la
Asamblea de California. Ya sea en lo laboral o lo educativo, nuestros legisladores nos han
llevado de un extremo a otro. Nuestro gobierno estatal es cada vez m6s ineficiente,
desbalanceado y alejado de la realidad.
Los pequenos negocios est6n teniendo dificultades para sobrevivir. iQu6 hacen los
legisladores? Aprueban leyes para prohibir a los contratistas independientes e imponen nuevas
regulaciones dafiinas, impuestos y tarifas a los negocios a lo largo delestado. Nuestras escuelas
priblicas estdn teniendo problemas para proveer una educaci6n de calidad, arriesgando el
aprendizaje de los estudiantes. ;Qu6 hacen los legisladores? Le dan prioridad a medidas
divisoras y con trasfondo polltico, en vez de kabajar para garantizar el 6xito acad6mico.
Nuestros hijos est6n pagando las consecuencias.
Nuestro estado tenia un excedente de presupuesto de $90 mil millones el ano pasado. Sin
embargo, la tasa de personas sin hogar afn permanece en niveles criticos. ;Qud hacen los
legisladores? Administran mal las linanzas y evaden sus responsabilidades, lo que evita que se
implementen soluciones viables.
Me estoy postulando para el cargo para ayudar a corregir nuestro fallido modelo, que pone la
lealtad al partido por encima de la resoluci6n de problemas. Como lider en organizaciones sin
fines de lucro y en negocios por mds de dos d6cadas, mi servicio al ptblico incluye mantenerme
firme en nombre de los niflos, las familias y las vlctimas del crimen, mientras unifico las lineas
del partido para que el gobierno local trabaje para la gente local. Llevar6 esa experiencia y
acercamiento hacia nuestro gobierno estatal, trabajando para representarlo a usted en la

Es la hora de mostrar cuentas claras a'sacramento, y, a0n mds importante, es la hora de tener

Education and Qualifications: My career in SLCUSD spanned thirty-one years: fifteen years

Cuesta College for ten years. My Latino students and their parents were always grateful that I

undergraduate and graduate degrees were in spanish language and spanish Lingulstics.
All four of our children received their public education through SLCUSD. Therefore as a parent
of former students and grandparent of cunent SLCUSD students, I feel very strongly lhat parents'
voices must be heard, honored, and considered while implementing school bo-aid policy. I do
believe that parents should be the primary source for instilling morals and values as they raise
their children.
I maintain for myself haditional family values and morals, yet hold strongly to the need to be
courteous, mindful and non-judgmental of other value systems.
As a former teacher I believe that educators need to be free to exercise artistic and creative
license in their classrooms while teaching to the established educational standards.

fired and reinstated through non-binding Arbihation, worked another 10 years. My Pension is

voluntarily dismissed by the Dishict Attorney in 2020.I am a strong preservationist, tight with a
buck, determined to reduce both expenditures and fees.
lwould make parking free, change Parking Enforcement personnel into Rangers and have them
respond to non-emergency calls for service. This will reduce SLOPDs call load by 90% allowing
them to successfully address street crime. Free parking combined with closing streets would
have our downtown back on its feet in a matter of months. I would clean up Laguna Lake Park,
Laguna Lake Creek and San Luis Creek and keep them clean. I feelthese actions are immediate,
visible and long needed improvements to the quality and safety of living in the City of San Luis

permitting, legal, accounting and similar costs; independent annual financial and performance
audits; a customary conshuction contingency; demolition and disposal of existing shuctures; the
costs of interim housing and storage during construction including relocation and construction
costs incurred relating to interim facilities; rental or construction of storage facilities and other

construction; costs of relocating facilities and equipment as needed in connection with the
projects; interim classrooms and facilities for students, adminishators, and school functions,
including modular facilities; federal and state-mandated safety upgrades; addressing unforeseen
conditions revealed by construction/modernization and other necessary improvements required
to comply with existing building codes, including the Field Act; access requirements of the
Americans with Disabilities Act; and costs of the election; bond issuance costs; and project
administration during the duration of such projects, as permitted by law.
The Diskict may alter the scope and nature of any of the specific projects that are
described above as required by unforeseen conditions that may arise during the course of design
and construction. ln the event that a modernization or renovation project may result in higher
costs than new construction, this bond measure authorizes land acquisition, relocation and
construction and/or reconstruction, and all costs relating thereto, for said reasons or,
alternatively, based on other considerations deemed in the best interest of the District by the
Board of Trustees. ln addition, authorized projects include paying and/or prepaying interim or
previously obtained financing for the types of projects included on the project list, such as bond
anticipation notes, and includes prepayment of lease payments to acquire title to facilities and/or
equipment previously financed. Projects may also be undertaken on a joint use basis with other
public entities.
Approval of this bond measure does not guarantee that the proposed projects will be
funded beyond the local revenues generated by the measure. The Dishict's capital needs
currently exceed the amount of bonds the voters are being asked to authorize. The District plans
to pursue funds from other sources to advance the identified projects to the extent possible. lf
matching funds from the State or any other source become available, they will be used for and
applied to the Bond Project List.
The order in which particular projects are listed is not intended to suggest priority for
funding or completion, and itemization of projects in the list above does not guarantee that all
such projects will be undertaken. Project priorities will be determined by the Board of Trustees.
The ability of the District to undertake and complete the listed projects is subject to numerous
variables including the adequacy and availability of sufficient funding sources. The Dishict is
unable to anticipate all unforeseen circumstances which may prevent some of the projects listed
above from being undertaken or completed.
The Bond Project List shall be considered a part of this
ballot proposition, and shall be reproduced in any official
document required to contain the full statement of the
bond proposition.
IMPARTIAL ANALYSIS OF MEASURE C.22
This measure will determine whether the San Luis Coastal Unified School District ("the
District,,) shalt issue $34g million in bonds for the purpose of acquiring real property and
improving school facilities within the District. The measure has been placed on the ballot by the
District's Board of Trustees and will become effective only if fifty-five percent (55%) of the voters
of the District vote "yes" on the measure.
0n November 7,2000, the voters of California passed "Proposition 39," amending
Article XlllA, section 1(b)(3) of the California Constitution. That amendment authorizes the
District to incur bonded indebtedness to finance the construction, reconstruction, rehabilitation,
or replacement of school facilities, in accordance with certain accountability requirements. To
implement the requirements of Proposition 39, the Legislature enacted the "Strict Accountability
in Local School Conshuction Bond Act 0f2000" (Educ. Code, S 15264, et seq.).
lf approved, this measure will authorize the District to issue up to $349 million in
general obligation bonds, bearing interest at rates not to exceed legal limits. Bond proceeds will
be used to fund projects identified in the full text of the measure. The proceeds from the sale of
the bonds will be used only for modernization, expansion, acquisition, construction,
reconstruction, rehabilitation or replacement of school facilities, including furnishing and
equipping of school facilities and for no other purpose, including teacher and employee salaries
and other school operating expenses. Approval of the measure does not guarantee that any
particular project will be funded.
Principal and interest on the bonds will be payable from the proceeds of ad valorem
taxes levied annually on taxable real property within the District. These taxes are in addition to
the property taxes cunently levied on District taxpayers. The amount of the increased taxes each
year will depend upon the amount needed to pay the principal and interest on the bonds. The
District's Tax Rate Statement, which accompanies this analysis, reflects an "estimate" of the
maximum property tax levies required to service the bonds. The actual tax rates depend on
numerous factors including, but not limited to, the amount of bonds issued and outstanding at
any one time, applicable interest rates, market conditions at the time of bond sales, when bonds
mature, the timing of project needs and changes in assessed valuations within the District.
Performance and financial audits must be performed annually to ensure that bond
proceeds are spent only as specified in the measure, and an independent citizens' oversight
committee will monitor expenditures and provide additional oversight. Bond proceeds will be
deposited in a separate account. While any bond proceeds remain unexpended, annual reports
will be filed with the District Board stating the amount of bond proceeds received and expended
in that year and the status of any project funded or to be funded from bond proceeds.
A "yes" vote on this measure is a vote in favor of the issuance of $349 million in bonds
to be used for the purposes set forth in the measure.
A "No" vote on this measure is a vote against the issuance of $349 million in general
obligation bonds for the purposes set forth in the measure.

TAX RATE STATEMENT FOR MEASURE C.22
An election will be held in the San Luis Coastal Unified School District (the "District") on
November 8,2022 to authorize the sale of up to $349,000,000 in general obligation bonds. The
following information is submitted in compliance with Sections 9400-9404 of the Elections Code
of the State of California. Such information is based upon the best estimates and prolections
presently available from official sources, upon experience within the Dishict, and other
demonstrable factors.
Based upon the foregoing and projections of the Dishict's assessed valuation, the following
information is provided:
1 . The best estimate of the average annual tax rate that would be required to fund this bond issue
over the entire duration of the bond debt service, based on estimated assessed valuations
available at the time of filing of this statement, is 4.91 per $100 ($49 per $100,000). lt is currently
expected that the tax will be collected until fiscal year 2058-59.
2. The best estimate of the highest tax rate that would be required to fund this bond issue, based
on estimated assessed valuations available at the time of filing this statement, is 4.91 per $100
($49 per $100,000) of assessed valuation. This rate is projected to apply in each fiscal year that
the bonds are outstanding.
3. The best estimate of total debt service, including principal and interest, that would be required
to be repaid if all the bonds are issued and sold will be approximately $664,838,397.
These estimates are based on projections derived from information obtained from officialsources
and are based on the assessed value (not market value) of taxable property on the County's
official tax rolls. ln addition, taxpayers eligible for a property tax exemption, such as the
homeowner's exemption, will be taxed at a lower effective tax rate than described above.
Property owners should consult their own property tax bills and tax advisors to determine their
property's assessed value and any applicable tax exemptions. The attention of all voters is
directed to the fact that the foregoing information is based upon projections and estimates only,
which amounts are not maximum amounts and durations and are not binding upon the District.
The actual debt service, tax rates and the years in which they will apply may vary depending on
the timing of bond sales, the par amount of bonds sold at each sale and actual increases in
assessed valuations. The timing of the bond sales and the amount of bonds sold at any given
time will be determined by the District based on the need for project funds and other
considerations. Actual assessed valuations will depend upon the amount and value of taxable
property within the District as determined by the County Assessor in the annual assessment and
the equalization process.

San Luis Coastal Unified School District
ARGUMENT IN FAVOR OF MEASURE C.22
Our schools and children that attend them are the most important assets in our community and
should be our number one priority. From higher achieving students to greater neighborhood
safety, quality schools make a difference. Today, these schools are old, and we need your help
bY voting yes on Measure C-22.
The majority of schools in San Luis Coastal Unified School District are outdated. On average,
school facilities are nearly 64 years old. Del Mar Elementary was first built in 1960, Pacheco
Elementary in 1953, and Pacific Beach High, one of our oldest, includes buildings from 84 years
ago.
The district has recently made major school improvements especially at our local high schools.
We've constructed and renovated classrooms, updated facilities, labs and infrastructure, and
increased energy-efficiency. However, our work is not done.
lf approved, Measure C-22 would continue our investment to our neighborhood schools,
improving the quality of education, while also adding area construction jobs and stimulating the
local economy.
Measure C-22 renovates outdated classrooms, restrooms and facilities including:
. Making safety and security improvements, including fencing, fire alarms, camera and
communication systems, and door locks,. Repairing or replacing leaky roofs,. Upgrading and modernizing 50-60-year-old classrooms, restrooms and school
facilities,. Making handicapped accessibility improvements, and. Updating inadequate electrical systems.
Measure C-22 protects taxpayers and makes financial sense by ensuring:
o All funds are spent locally and can't be taken by the state.. Spending must be reviewed/annually audited by an independent citizens' oversight
committee.o Funds can only be spent to improve local schools, not for teacher or adminishator
salaries.
Measure C-22 upgrades and renovates old and inadequate classrooms, improves the education
of local children, and maintains the quality of our community. lt's a smart investment in our kids
and community. That's something we can all support.
Please join us and VOTE YES ON MEASURE C-22!
