Our September 23rd evening Voter Education Event is admission-free and open to all Newport Beach residents and businesses. We kindly request that you RSVP so that we can better prepare seating and refreshments.
Corona del Mar residents and businesses will benefit from attending this unique City Election Forum co-sponsored by the CdM Residents Association (CdMRA) and the CdM Chamber of Commerce (CdM Chamber). Both organizations advocate for their memberships and work together on issues to improve living and working in Corona del Mar.
CdM’s City Election Forum, our local Voters’ Education Event, is a consistently popular program that is always engaging, informative and unique.
Long-time local journalist and publisher Tom Johnson (Stu News and formerly Daily Pilot) will moderate the CdM Election Forum. Mr. Johnson will use questions prepared by CdMRA and CdM Chamber that reflect the issues and concerns of their respective members.
CdMRA will publish its Special Edition Election Newsletter in early September. It will contain articles from all qualified incumbents and candidates. Ballot measure statements for and against will also be included.

Ballot Measure H
Currently, there is one citizen-driven initiative that appears on the November 3 ballot: Measure H – The Responsible Housing Initiative. This measure seeks to amend the City’s General Plan to allow for considerably fewer units than previously approved and still meet the requirements of California’s housing laws. The City has a webpage devoted to Ballot Measure H which includes the ballot measure language as well as the arguments and rebuttals for and against Measure H. Click here to review.
