Nov. 4 Special Election: What else is on the ballot in the Bay Area?

(KRON) — California voters head to the polls Tuesday to cast their vote on Proposition 50, a statewide ballot initiative that could pave the way for Democrats to pick up five additional congressional seats. The measure, which was introduced to counter Republican redistricting efforts in Texas, has been championed by Gov. Gavin Newsom and looks likely to pass, according to polls.

But while Prop 50 is the most high-profile initiative on Tuesday’s ballot, across the Bay Area, voters will weigh in on a number of other measures.

Alameda County ballot measures

In Alameda County, voters will decide Measure B, the Washington Township Health Care District, which would tax property owners 5 cents per square foot for 12 years. The measure aims to raise $13 million annually to upgrade equipment, reduce ER wait times, and maintain high-quality emergency and hospital care.

Marin County ballot measures

In the North Bay, voters will decide whether to recall Fairfax’s mayor and vice mayor.

Other Marin County measures include Measure J, which would create housing overlay zones on 12 commercial sites in Sausalito to allow senior, family, and affordable housing, and Measure K, which would allow up to 50 senior housing units on city property.

Santa Clara County ballot measures

In Santa Clara County, voters will decide Measure A, which could create a 5/8 cent sales tax for five years to raise $330 million annually for emergency, mental health, and public safety services to help offset federal funding cuts. Voters in Santa Clara County will also choose from four candidates for county assessor:

• Yan Zhao — Saratoga City Councilmember
• Rishi Kumar — Tech CEO
• Neysa Filgor — Assistant Assessor
• Bryan Do — Board member, East Side Union High School District

Sonoma County ballot measures

Petaluma voters will decide on Measure I, which would impose a $129 annual parcel tax for eight years to raise $3 million for Petaluma junior high and high schools to retain teachers, support STEM and writing programs, and keep class sizes small.

Voters will also elect a new Timber Cove Water District Director, voting for no more than three of the following four candidates:

• Robert Leihtner — Appointed incumbent
• John Rea — Incumbent
• Jess Weber — Biologist
• John Gray — Retired firefighter
