Election Day November 2017
Another succesful election night. With our partners we had solid wins in the two races we were involved in (see below). The numbers were higher than projected because 1014 was involved.
We called for help and you, our members, showed up in force. We walked for 8 days and had over 140 members answer the call for help. You continue to amaze us.
A BIG THANK YOU from your 1014 Executive Board to our members, our voters and our partners on two wins that will solidify funds for fire, police and other services. These two cities, Hawthorne and El Monte are fee for service cities and we have helped to secure the funding for our services for years to come.
Final results from the 2 elections we were actively involved in this cycle:

Hawthorne Measure HH
From ballotpedia.org
A yes vote is a vote in favor of imposing an additional sales tax of 0.75 percent to fund general city services.
A no vote is a vote against imposing an additional sales tax of 0.75 percent to fund general city services.
Measure HH proposes to raise the total sales tax rate in Hawthorne from 9.5 percent to 10.25 percent. The state-mandated tax rate that applies throughout California is 7.25 percent, with revenue allocated to various purposes. As of 2017, Los Angeles County also levied a 2.25 percent sales tax.[1] The average total sales tax rate throughout the county was 9.5 percent.[2]
City officials estimated that the sales tax rate increase would generate $8.5 million yearly.[3]
From our campaign staff before the polls closed
We visited or called 4,190 Hawthorne voters - well over our projection of 3,500 we anticipated before GOTV weekend. Before entering the weekend, we had completed 3 full passes on the phones and at the doors of our target precincts. Over the weekend we completed another complete pass. We also did another sweep over the phones that was completed last night and also called through all of our identified supporters to reconfirm their support and remind them of where their polling place is.
Our support reconfirm rate is a strong 95.7%.
Here are the final numbers:
Strong Support: 2,931 69.9%
Lean Support: 520 12.4%
Undecided: 559 13.3%
Lean Oppose: 44 1.0%
Strong Oppose: 136 3.2%
Total IDs: 4,190
