Voters in California are set to decide on several high-profile issues in the 2024 election, with measures on housing, taxes and public safety topping the ballot. Here’s a look at the key issues:
United States Senate
The 2024 U.S. Senate race in California is a pivotal contest between Democratic Rep. Adam Schiff and Republican former Major League Baseball star Steve Garvey. This election follows the passing of long-serving Sen. Dianne Feinstein in September 2023. Gov. Gavin Newsom appointed Sen. Laphonza Butler to fill the vacancy; however, she is not seeking election.
Los Angeles County District Attorney
The Los Angeles County District Attorney race is emerging as a significant contest leading up to the Nov. 5, 2024, general election. Incumbent District Attorney George Gascón, known for his progressive approach to criminal justice reform, is seeking re-election. Challenging him is Nathan Hochman, a former federal prosecutor and defense attorney, who is running as an independent candidate with a focus on public safety and a commitment to addressing rising crime rates in the county.
Prop 2: Education Funding
California Proposition 2 in 2024 is a $10 billion bond measure designed to fund construction and modernization projects in public schools and community colleges across the state. Specifically, $8.5 billion would support K-12 facilities, including renovation, new construction and lead reduction in drinking water, while $1.5 billion would target community college infrastructure needs. For schools in low-income or disadvantaged areas, the measure allows the state to cover a larger share of costs, making it more feasible for them to access funds for critical improvements.
Prop 5: Rent Control Expansion
A major measure proposes to expand rent control statewide. If passed, it would allow cities to impose stricter limits on how much landlords can raise rents each year, aiming to tackle the state’s housing crisis. Proponents argue it will protect tenants from skyrocketing rents, while opponents warn it could deter new housing developments.
Prop 32: Minimum Wage Increase
California’s Proposition 32 on the November 2024 ballot proposes raising the state’s minimum wage to $18 per hour, with scheduled increases taking effect by 2026. For businesses with 25 or fewer employees, the minimum wage would reach $17 per hour in 2025 and $18 by 2026, while larger businesses would implement the full increase to $18 by 2025. Supporters argue that the wage increase would benefit over 2 million Californians, help them afford essential costs and reduce reliance on government aid.
Prop 33: Rent Control
California’s Proposition 33 on the 2024 ballot seeks to repeal the Costa-Hawkins Rental Housing Act, which currently restricts local rent control. If passed, this proposition would grant cities and counties broader authority to apply rent control to single-family homes, newer housing, and vacant units, allowing them to regulate rent for all rental properties. This change would allow local governments to limit how much landlords can charge new tenants, potentially making rent more affordable for residents in high-cost areas.
Prop 36: Increased Penalties for Theft, Drug Crimes
California’s Proposition 36 aims to increase penalties for repeat drug and theft offenses by rolling back some parts of Proposition 47, the 2014 law that reclassified certain offenses from felonies to misdemeanors. The new measure would allow felony charges for individuals convicted of shoplifting or theft under $950 if they have two prior theft convictions, and it would impose stricter punishments for organized “smash-and-grab” thefts. Additionally, Proposition 36 proposes felony charges for repeat drug offenses involving substances such as fentanyl, heroin, and methamphetamine, with an option for treatment as an alternative to prison for eligible individuals who complete court-ordered programs.
