In San Bernardino County, District 1 Supervisor Robert Lovingood, a pro-business candidate supported by CAA’s political action committee, became the first incumbent to be re-elected in 20 years.
In Riverside County, voters decided to keep Chuck Washington as their District 3 supervisor. Washington had been appointed to the seat by Gov. Jerry Brown. CAA Greater Inland Empire supported Washington, who is keenly aware of the need for high-density housing in Riverside County.
In the city of San Bernardino, voters overwhelmingly passed Measure L, which was supported by CAA Greater Inland Empire, the mayor and six of seven council members. Measure L replaces the 1905 city charter, which was written when the city’s population was less than 10,000. The new charter will help City Hall do a better job meeting the needs of residents and the business community, providing clear lines of authority and accountability for the City Council, mayor and city manager.
