BILL EMMERSON, Republican
OCCUPATION: Assemblymember, Educator
EDUCATION AND QUALIFICATIONS:
AGE: 64
Fed up with Sacramento’s irresponsible budget deficits? Join Bill
Emmerson’s fight to stop out-of-control spending.
Assemblyman Emmerson earned 100% RATINGS FROM THE
CALIFORNIA TAXPAYERS’ ASSOCIATION because he opposed
balancing the state budget on the backs of working families and retirees.
As a Riverside County Assemblyman, Bill fought to cut waste and save
billions of tax dollars by:
•Co-authoring John Benoit’s legislation to save California $750 million
by REQUIRING WASHINGTON TO PAY FOR INCARCERATING
ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT PRISONERS.
• Supporting efforts to DEPORT ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT PRISONERS
to jails in their home countries.
•Making pay raises for politicians ILLEGAL during budget deficits and
voluntarily cutting his own pay by 11%.
•Co-authoring a measure to CAP STATE SPENDING to prevent future
state budget deficits.
•Enacting welfare reform SAVING $5 BILLION while protecting
children, elderly and the disabled.
•Requiring fingerprinting checks for service providers and aid
recipients to save millions and STOP FRAUD.
A former Riverside County small business owner, Bill worked to grow the
economy by reducing excessive regulations and taxes on small
businesses. Bill’s efforts to improve the economy earned him 100%
ratings from the California Chamber of Commerce.
An assistant professor, Bill backed reforms to protect our schools –
including guaranteeing our schools full funding once the economy
recovers.
Named LEGISLATOR OF THE YEAR four times by the State Sheriffs’
Association, Bill Emmerson is endorsed by Supervisor John Benoit,
Assemblyman Brian Nestande and the Inland Empire Taxpayers
Association.

JUSTIN BLAKE, Democratic
OCCUPATION: School Board Member
EDUCATION AND QUALIFICATIONS:
AGE: 56
RUSS BOGH, Republican
OCCUPATION: Businessman
EDUCATION AND QUALIFICATIONS:
In this historic special election for California’s 37th Senate District, you
the voter have an opportunity to endorse a different approach to
governance. It is time to set aside strict party allegiance and begin to
solve problems… in the name of the citizens of California.
California is in trouble and we need real solutions. The Legislature needs
to start solving problems not creating them. As State Senator, I’ll put my
business experience to work for Riverside County taxpayers to rebuild
the economy, create jobs and restore California’s promise.
I am a small business owner, a teacher and director of a non-profit
organization. Most importantly, I am in my fifth year of service on Palm
Springs Unified School District’s Board of Education. During my tenure,
PSUSD has been forced to cut 18% of its budget. Every week I make
tough decisions resulting from Sacramento’s inability to govern
effectively.
Reckless borrowing is strangling our economy. Government is spending
billions it doesn’t have, like the $11 billion water bond that’s loaded with
pork. We need to cut spending, not saddle our children with debt.
My proven skill cutting costs while preserving essential services has
resulted in both balanced budgets and steadily rising test scores in our
schools.
Only the elected leadership of schools, cities and counties can fully
understand the local impact of the budget choices our legislature has
made. Legislators must be intelligent, innovative and work honestly
together to find real solutions for difficult problems. For six critical years,
Sacramento politicians have proven their inability to do this. Failed
policies demand fresh leadership.
Government by the people cannot survive if it is always “us and them.” I
ask for your vote not to become one of them, but for the honor of serving
as one of you.
Please visit www.justinblakeforsenate.com. Voting is patriotic. I thank
you for your vote and commend your active citizenship.
I’ll also put the brakes on bad government that costs us jobs. California
has lost more than 600,000 manufacturing jobs since 2001. Companies
are leaving or closing because regulations are out of control, costing $75
billion a year in lost salaries and $5 billion a year in lost tax revenue,
money needed for schools, public safety and roads.
I’ll fight to cut taxes for families and businesses. California’s
backbreaking tax burden is destroying our economy, punishing families
and costing us jobs. We need to fundamentally change government so
it’s leaner and more accountable.
When I served in the Assembly, I honored my pledge to oppose all new
and higher taxes. I also opposed giving driver’s licenses and instate
tuition to illegal immigrants. I believe it’s important to keep more money in
the pockets of taxpayers. Working in the family business, I’ve made
tough choices, created jobs and balanced budgets. If you’re ready for
real change in Sacramento, I would appreciate your support and your
vote.

SCOTT HINES
OCCUPATION: Public Policy Consultant
EDUCATION AND QUALIFICATIONS:
AGE: 40
Community service is my calling; leadership my talent; public policy my
passion.
I love Rancho Mirage and want to protect our quality of life, seeking ways
to ensure a bright future for our community. I’m excited to lend my
energy, enthusiasm and a fresh voice to City Hall.
I am well qualified to be a City Councilman. I’ve been a leader and public
servant most of my life. I hold two Masters Degrees (one in Public Policy
Management) and a Bachelor’s Degree in Political Science. Currently, I
work with cities to help them solve problems.
As an Air Force Academy graduate, I have led soldiers in the jungles of
Latin America and the halls of the Pentagon. As a CEO, I’ve managed
million dollar budgets and made tough calls. Growing up in a foster
home, I learned compassion, teamwork and resilience. But fatherhood
has inspired me most to be a better person and to be ever vigilant in my
community. I’m a well-rounded, ethical leader with a passionate desire to
do good things for others.
I would be honored if you would vote for me for City Council.

DANA HOBART
OCCUPATION: Council Member / Attorney
EDUCATION AND QUALIFICATIONS:
When first elected I initiated and focused on enacting certain “major”
projects of enduring financial importance to Rancho Mirage.
(1) Undergrounding Rancho Mirage’s hazardous neighborhood
electrical lines which reduced property values.
(2) Preserving Rancho Mirage’s modest size by eliminating the six
square miles “Sphere of Influence” north of I-10 which, over time, would
have added 40,000 residents, dramatically changed our demographics
and perpetually buried us with huge financial obligations.
(3) Extending city limits a few hundred feet to incorporate the Agua
Caliente Casino / Hotel. This lengthy process culminated with Rancho
Mirage and the Tribe finding common ground and Rancho Mirage
securing important legal rights and hundreds of thousands of dollars
annually.
Now, with America’s economic turmoil, the local economy and managing
our city budget are seriously pressing priorities.
Diminished tourism means reduced bed and sales taxes which impairs
our ability to produce a balanced budget – the Council’s primary function
– which must be achieved without reducing police or fire services.
Using fiscally conservative principles and my legal and budgetary
experience, I am dedicated to responsibly solving our economic
challenges.
My background includes twenty-five years being recognized in Best
Lawyers in America and frequently serving in California Courts as an
expert witness regarding legal ethics.

RON MEEPOS
OCCUPATION: Councilman / CPA Retired
EDUCATION AND QUALIFICATIONS:
It has been an honor to serve as your councilman for the past eight years.
When I ran for office I promised to protect and enhance the quality of life
of Rancho Mirage residents. I believe I’ve kept that promise.
I’ve drawn on my professional experience as a C.P.A. to maximize City
revenues and minimize expenditures. I moved to create the Council
Budget and Audit Committee resulting in considerable cash savings and
the creation of cash reserves of $60 million to ensure financial stability
during economic crises.
Desert Sun articles have highlighted my discovery of incorrect salary
payments and in reference to their endorsement of a Palm Desert council
candidate has written “he will be to Palm Desert what Ron Meepos has
been to Rancho Mirage – a stickler for financial details".
Striving always to enhance the health, welfare and quality of life of our
residents, I initiated the City Golf Club, supported the undergrounding of
all utility distribution lines, the annexation of the Agua Caliente Hotel with
resulting revenue for Public Safety; and the Ritz Carlton agreement
enabling the hotel’s completion.
I pledge to continue being the financial watchdog of Rancho Mirage and
a guardian of our quality of life.

In 2010, the U.S. Census Bureau will issue a call for every
resident of our nation to “Be Counted.”
Here are some reasons why the Census is so important to
people in Riverside County!
•
Over the next 10 years, your community stands to lose about $240 million for roads,
schools and many other needed services for every 1 percent of Riverside County
residents the census misses.
•
The census will take you only about 10 minutes to complete and the information is
completely confidential.
•
Census results affect your voice in Congress by determining how many seats each state
has in the U.S. House of Representatives.
•
Census data determine how many California Assembly and Senate seats Riverside
County will have.
•
Census data is used to draw the district boundaries for the County Board of Supervisors,
some City Council districts, Board of Education Districts and other special districts.
Do your part and return your census form.
Be counted in Riverside County.
