Los Angeles could be a job killer for an industry in the
Inland Empire.”
The possibility of a runoff between two Democrats
could potentially strengthen the position of the Central
Valley, including the agricultural industry, in a November
runoff. While the June primary will focus on messages
and issues that resonate with the left, including Single
Payer Health Care among others, we can expect a more
moderate tone from both candidates in the fall campaign.
The Valley may well be a deciding force in a November
election, giving our industry an opportunity to put our
concerns front and center in the fall campaign.
The Almond Alliance will be providing key updates on
the campaign throughout the year. As we head into
election season, we must take advantage of this year’s
unique opportunity to flex our political muscle and ensure
that California’s next generation of leaders are in tune
and sensitive to the key issues impacting the future of
our industry, and the California economy.
