KEEP YOUR FOUR COUNCILMEMBERS ACCOUNTABLE TO YOU AND OUR ENTIRE
COMMUNITY.
Palm Desert is a vibrant and diverse community. Addressing both neighborhood
and citywide opportunities requires Councilmembers who are accountable to
everyone, NOT just a small pocket of people.
Our quality of living depends on our community working together.
MEASURE B WILL DIVIDE US AND TAKE AWAY OUR VOTING RIGHTS.
Claims that 5 districts will improve our city are WRONG!
• False Claim: "Now, a few votes can put the wrong person in office."
• TRUTH: It's just the opposite. With small districts, fewer people determine
results making it EASIER to elect special interest candidates.
• False Claim: "Districts get the money out of politics."
• TRUTH: Districts lead to more money in politics and back -room
deaimaking. In other cities, candidates are raising $100,000 or more for
campaigns in small districts. We don't want that in Palm Desert.
Districts would divide neighborhoods and Palm Desert's successful and unified
focus on city-wide issues: public safety, economic development, growing the CSU
campus, fiscal responsibility, and maintaining the beauty of our ENTIRE city. We
MUST work together.
Today you have four votes and four representatives. REDUCING your vote to only
ONE representative, every four years is NOT better and it's NOT fair. It reduces
your voice!
Keep Palm Desert united.
PROTECT YOUR VOTING RIGHTS. DON'T LET YOUR VOTES BE TAKEN FROM YOUI
