RESEARCH NOTES & SOURCES
About the research.
This collection brings proposition summaries and organizational endorsements into one place, so you can compare positions across groups. It currently covers 28 organizations and 14 statewide propositions, and is designed to grow as more endorsements and sources are added.
The original 26 organizations come from two California Counts PDFs with a source audit dated October 6, 2026. Other entries include links to the supplied organization guides. The positions have not been independently reverified for this collection; the original sources remain available.
The source matrix states that positions were checked against organization voter guides and endorsement pages where published; supplied source matrices were retained where no current organization guide was located. Neither PDF includes links to those underlying sources.
Descriptions are concise plain-language summaries, not official ballot titles. Listed positions belong to the named organizations and do not constitute endorsements by BAMC. This collection is a starting point for research, not an exhaustive record of every organization’s endorsements.
