Meet your Prop 50 explainer: County Clerk
James Kus!
When you need to understand election law, you go to the expert who administers elections.
James Kuss isn't here to tell you how to vote.

He's here to explain:
✅What the legal language actually means
✅How redistricting works in practice
✅What changes under Prop 50
✅The mechanics of this special election

No spin. No agenda. Just facts from someone who knows election law inside and out.

Tuesday, October 14th, 7pm at Tioga Beer Garden.

After James breaks down the facts, our moderators will present BOTH perspectives so you can make your own informed decision.
This is how democracy should work.
5 days to go!
