"We are very pleased with these outcomes," said Chamber President Jonathan Coe. "It demonstrates how our Chamber plays a role in the electoral process and how we can elect candidates most likely to listen to the needs and concerns of our members."

The Chamber was also successful on ballot issues as voters supported all the positions the Chamber endorsed. Voters agreed with all of the Chamber's recommendations on state-wide propositions and local measures, passing Propositions 1 & 2 and Measures H, I and L, while rejecting Proposition 46 and Measure N.

The Chamber extends our congratulations to all those who were successful yesterday and to the hardworking campaigners who advocated for the various ballot issues.
