The underperformance of the statewide measure highlights challenges ahead for the governor’s policies
As of late last year, Proposition 1 — Gov. Gavin Newsom’s ballot measure to expand behavioral-health treatment and housing — seemed like it was on a glide path to victory. Polling showed it holding a comfortable lead, and a massive fundraising imbalance tilted the race in the favor of the measure’s backers.
Opposition to Prop. 1 coalesced around a number of issues. The fiscally conservative Howard Jarvis Taxpayer Association opposed the extra spending the measure would bring. The Yes on 1 campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment, but supporters have previously said that the extra housing and treatment beds that the measure would bring are crucial ingredients to fully carry out Newsom's plans to address the state's homelessness and mental health crises, both top concerns for voters.
Ethics overhaul lands easy victory Prop. D, a measure to strengthen and unify The City's ethics laws was garnering nearly 90% of the vote in early returns. Aiding the opposition side, the measure faced an unforgiving political landscape: Low-turnout elections in California tend to overrepresent Republican voters.
