Proposition 2: Public Education Facilities Bond Measure
LPCA Endorsed Position : NO
Reason: The Libertarian Party opposes using taxpayer dollars to fund large-scale government projects like school construction. There are concerns that the state may misallocate funds, leading to inefficiencies and a lack of accountability.
Proposition 3: Fundamental Right to Marry

Reason: Individuals should have the freedom to marry any consenting adult, regardless of gender. It is not the state’s role to dictate the terms of marriage.
Proposition 4: Climate Bond Measure
LPCA Endorsed Position : NO
Reason: The Libertarian Party believes that the state should not be entrusted with more taxpayer funds, as it often mismanages resources and fails to deliver effective solutions.
Proposition 5: Housing and Public Infrastructure Bond Measure
LPCA Endorsed Position : NO
Reason: This measure is intrusive and undermines the real estate industry by placing additional burdens on taxpayers. Local governments should not have easier access to borrowing at the expense of fiscal responsibility.

Reason: Pending Deliberation
Proposition 32: $18 Minimum Wage Increase

Proposition 33: Rent Control Expansion

Reason: The Libertarian Party maintains that the government should not regulate rental prices. Imposing rent controls can create economic strain on landlords and disrupt the housing market, ultimately harming both property owners and tenants by reducing available housing options.

Reason: Pending Deliberation
Proposition 35: Permanent Funding for Medi-Cal
