Voters Protect Transportation Investments in Bridge and Road Safety and Pass Measures to Fund Housing for Veterans, Working Families and the Homeless

By voting no on Proposition 6, the citizens of California have ensured that communities will have the funding they need to continue critical transportation improvements in cities throughout California, for families and future generations.
 
With the passage of Propositions 1 and 2, California can now take an important step in addressing the affordable housing crisis with funding to build much-needed housing for veterans, working families and those experiencing homelessness or at risk of becoming homeless.
 
While votes are still being counted, it appears that Proposition 3, which would have provided resources to make additional investments in water infrastructure, will fail by a narrow margin.
 
Election results are reported from the Secretary of State’s website. Final vote counts have not yet been made official.
