What’s on the June ballot? Voters have big decisions to make

STATEWIDE

Governor: With Jerry Brown termed out, it’s a wide-open field, with Gavin Newsom leading in the polls against fellow Democrats Antonio Villaraigosa, John Chiang and Delaine Eastin. Republicans John Cox and Travis Allen must rally to make the November runoff.

Other races: All constitutional offices are at stake. A key one to watch: Former Insurance Commissioner Steve Poizner is competing to get his job back — this time as an independent.

Propositions: Five measures are on the ballot, including a $4 billion bond for parks and others dealing with climate adaptation, water quality and flood control.

REGIONWIDE

Toll increase: Nine Bay Area counties will be voting on whether to authorize a toll increase of up to $3 on state-owned bridges.

SAN FRANCISCO

Mayor: The death of Ed Lee has produced a sprint to a June election to fill the remainder of his term, through 2019. Leading contenders include London Breed, Mark Leno, Jane Kim and Angela Alioto.

Supervisor: The ideological balance of the board is up for grabs in the District Eight race between the moderate-leaning appointed incumbent Jeff Sheehy and progressive Rafael Mandelman.

Propositions: The city ballot is loaded with nine measures, on everything from banning flavored tobacco to arming police officers with Tasers, from stopping the relocation of sports franchises to new taxes for schools, child care and homeless services.

JUDICIARY

San Francisco: Four public defenders are challenging Republican-appointed incumbents (each of whom is a registered Democrat).

Santa Clara County: Judge Aaron Persky’s light sentencing of a Stanford swimmer convicted of sexual assault has resulted in a recall election.
