President and Vice President: Joseph R Biden and Kamala D Harris - I will skip basing my decision on the debates. I don't trust Trump to tell the truth during the debates and there are too many things Trump has done wrong during his first four years (which he thinks is right so he's not going to change his behavior).

US Representative, 14th District: Jackie Speier - I'm disgusted enough with my party that I'm voting all Democrats this election.

State Senator, 13th District: Josh Becker

Member of the State Assembly, 22nd Assembly District: Kevin Mullin

San Mateo County Board of Education, Trustee Area 4: Chelsea Bonini

San Mateo Union High School District, Governing Board: Ligia Andrade Zuniga

City of San Mateo, City Council: Amourence Lee and Diana Papan

Yes means letting a 2018 law continue and I'm more of a "let legislators legislate and don't backseat".
