  • OUR MISSION

JOIN THE INITIATIVE TODAY TO SAVE OUR STATE.

The Save California Initiative is a California-based Super PAC dedicated to restoring trust, transparency, and accountability to California’s election system. We believe that a robust and secure democracy relies on the fundamental principle of "one legal citizen, one vote." Our platform focuses on common-sense reforms to eliminate vulnerabilities, protect the integrity of the ballot box, and ensure that every legal voter has confidence in our election results.

The Problem:

California's current election process is highly vulnerable to manipulation and human error. Automatically mailing a paper ballot to every registered voter on the rolls—regardless of whether they are active—leaves millions of unsupervised ballots in circulation. This vulnerability is worsened by legalized "ballot harvesting," which allows partisan political operatives to collect and submit ballots, disrupting the secure chain of custody. Furthermore, state voter rolls remain cluttered with deceased individuals, out-of-state movers, and non-citizens, while subjective signature verification is used as a weak substitute for secure, government-issued photo identification. Prolonged, weeks-long counting windows only serve to further erode public confidence.

Our Solution:

  • We advocate for common-sense, secure election standards to guarantee the integrity of every vote. We aim to:

    • End Universal Mail-In Voting: Return to a secure, application-based absentee voting system.

    • Ban Ballot Harvesting: Restrict ballot return assistance strictly to immediate family members, household members, or designated caregivers.

    • Clean and Verify Voter Rolls: Require county registrars to perform biannual, rigorous database audits utilizing federal death records and DMV databases to verify citizenship status.

    • Enforce Voter ID: Implement strict voter identification laws requiring a government-issued photo ID to vote in person, and a verified identifier (such as a driver’s license or Social Security number) on mail-in return envelopes.

    • Increase Transparency: Require all mail-in ballots to be received by 8:00 PM on Election Day, guarantee bipartisan observers meaningful access to all stages of counting, and mandate hand-counted, risk-limiting audits before results are certified.

The Problem:

State lawmakers frequently use a deceptive, non-transparent legislative tactic known as "gut-and-amend." When controversial, partisan, or highly unpopular bills cannot survive the normal public process, lawmakers will take a completely unrelated bill that has already cleared committee hurdles, strip out its entire text, and swap in a totally new piece of legislation at the eleventh hour. This abuse of the legislative system allows lawmakers to pass major policy changes—such as stripping authority from local or state-elected officials—completely bypassing mandatory public committee hearings, debates, and public scrutiny.

Our Solution:

  • We believe that the public has a constitutional right to know what laws are being passed before they are voted on. We are fighting to end these deceptive tactics by pushing for state-level reforms that:

    • Enforce a 72-Hour Print Rule: Sponsor a constitutional amendment establishing a strict rule requiring any bill undergoing a substantial topic change to be printed and made publicly available for at least 72 hours before a vote.

    • Mandate Public Hearings: Require that any heavily amended bill undergo new, public committee hearings where citizens can voice their concerns and hold lawmakers accountable.

    • Ban Subject-Swapping: Establish legal boundaries that strictly prohibit the practice of completely swapping unrelated legislative subjects under an existing bill number.

The Problem:

Sacramento's political establishment routinely uses partisan rules and heavy-handed overreach to maintain unchecked control. Progressive Attorneys General abuse their authority to draft biased, misleading, and alarmist ballot titles and summaries to sink conservative-backed initiatives. At the same time, the state’s complex "top-two" primary system often locks out minor parties and leaves voters with two candidates of the same party in the general election. This establishment is heavily funded by powerful public-sector unions that use mandatory worker dues to back the very politicians who negotiate their contracts, leaving taxpayers with the bill. When conservative-leaning cities and counties attempt to assert their local independence, the state overrides their local community standards through aggressive lawsuits and state-level bans.

Our Solution:

  • We are dedicated to exposing these self-serving establishment networks and restoring power to everyday citizens and local communities by working to:

    • Depoliticize Ballot Summaries: Strip the Attorney General of the power to write ballot titles and transfer this duty to an independent, non-partisan body like the Legislative Analyst’s Office (LAO).

    • Overhaul the “Top-Two” Primary: Support a return to traditional partisan primaries or a “top-one” system so that voters always have a distinct choice of political platforms in the general election.

    • Protect Worker Freedom: Advocate for “Paycheck Protection” laws that stop public-sector unions from using worker dues for political lobbying without annual, written consent from the individual workers.

    • Defend Local Sovereignty: Provide legal and financial support to assist charter cities and counties in defending their constitutional right to govern their own local elections, administrative processes, and community standards in court.

The Problem:

California’s current system of mailing a paper ballot to every registered voter on the rolls—regardless of active status—creates millions of unsupervised ballots. Furthermore, legalized third-party ballot collection ("ballot harvesting") allows political operatives to collect and submit ballots, leaving the chain of custody highly vulnerable to coercion, loss, or manipulation.

Our Solution:

  • End Universal Mail-In Voting: Return to an application-based absentee voting system, ensuring ballots are only sent to voters who actively request them.

  • Ban Ballot Harvesting: Restrict ballot return assistance to immediate family members, household members, or designated caregivers, ensuring a secure and verifiable chain of custody for every vote cast.

The Problem:

Inadequate maintenance of voter registration databases has left California’s voter rolls cluttered with deceased individuals, residents who have moved out of state, and non-citizens. These "phantom voters" pose a significant vulnerability, particularly under a universal mail-in system.

Our Solution:

  • Mandatory Roll Audits: Require county registrars to conduct biannual, rigorous database cleanups using federal databases, the Social Security Death Index, and interstate verification systems like the National Change of Address database.

  • Verify Citizenship: Ensure that voter registration systems are directly integrated with the DMV and immigration databases to prevent non-citizens from being automatically registered to vote.

The Problem:

California is one of the few states that does not require voters to verify their identity with a photo ID at the ballot box. Signature verification for mail-in ballots is often subjective, inconsistent, and highly prone to human error or lax enforcement.

Our Solution:

  • Implement Strict Voter ID Laws: Require a government-issued photo ID (such as a driver’s license, state ID, passport, or military ID) to vote in person.

  • Secure Mail-In Verification: Require mail-in voters to write their driver’s license number or the last four digits of their Social Security number on the return envelope to verify their identity before the ballot is processed.

The Problem:

Weeks of delayed tabulations erode public trust and open the door to skepticism. Furthermore, restrictive rules in many counties prevent bipartisan observers from effectively monitoring the signature verification and ballot-processing stages.

Our Solution:

  • Enforce an Election Day Deadline: Amend state law to require that all mail-in ballots must be physically received by county election offices by 8:00 PM on Election Day to be counted.

  • Guaranteed Observer Access: Mandate clear, uniform state guidelines that allow bipartisan observers meaningful, unobstructed physical proximity to view all stages of the signature verification, processing, and counting of ballots.

  • Standardized Post-Election Audits: Require every county to perform robust, hand-counted risk-limiting audits of a random percentage of ballots before results are certified.

OUR ENDORSEMENTS

The Golden State is at a crossroads. For too long, Sacramento has been held hostage by a radical supermajority that prioritizes woke ideology over public safety, open borders over American workers, and government overreach over parental rights. We refuse to accept the status quo. That is why our PAC is proud to endorse a select group of candidates who embody the America First principles we hold dear. We do not issue endorsements lightly; they are earned through a proven track record of courage, conviction, and unwavering loyalty to the Constitution.
