'F All Politicians' Was Printed In CA's Voter Guide

CALIFORNIA — California's official voter information guide for the primary election has some colorful language hidden within it.

On page 23, Mariana Dawson, a candidate for governor, wrote this short message in her candidate statement: "F all politicians."

Gubernatorial candidates are allowed to write 250-word candidate statements that are not checked for accuracy and "do not necessarily represent the views or opinions of the Secretary of State’s office," according to the guide itself.

Dawson did not claim a party preference and said she ended her campaign on May 27, adding that her signature gatherer "went rogue" and demanded she support the Republican Party.

"I refused," she said in an online blog post. '"F all politicians' includes their political parties, whether it’s the Democratic Party or Republican Party. I want no part of their political civil war.

"Having to leave this race will only make me fight harder for our economic survival in California in the months and years to come. I believe we will find ourselves living in the same State of Crisis next year, which will make a 2023 recall inevitable. I'll be there when that day comes, and my message will be the same - F all politicians. Even now, my message gets stronger by the day because it is the message of the people," Dawson wrote.

The polls were open on Tuesday for the state's primary election, which will determine who holds office for for governor, attorney general, controller, secretary of state, and 52 Congressional districts.

The results will be certified July 7.

Just 13 percent of registered voters had turned in their ballots as of Saturday ahead of Tuesday's Primary Election, according to Political Data Inc.
