We have fourteen state ballot measures in November. [View all]

On Nov. 3, Californians will vote on 14 statewide ballot measures on environment, taxation, election, housing and healthcare.

For months, interest groups sponsoring ballot initiatives spent heavily on ad blitzes and signature gathering to get on the ballot, but some agreed to withdraw high-profile proposals after striking deals with state leaders or other interest groups this week, ahead of Thursday’s deadline to finalize the November ballot.

Rideshare giant Uber and the state’s trial lawyers pulled rival measures in a deal with state lawmakers and healthcare labor unions and the California Hospital Association agreed to pull two measures that would have capped hospital executive pay and restricted spending by healthcare unions.

Here’s what’s on your November ballot (And where I initially stand)

- Billionaire tax (YES)
- Audit new tax spending (NO)
- Prohibit new personal property tax and retroactive taxes (NO)
- Make high-earner income tax permanent (YES)
- Higher threshold for local special taxes (NO)
- Affordable housing bond (YES)
- $25 billion homebuying loan (YES)
- Rainy day fund (YES)
- Expedited environmental review (NO)
- Voter ID (NO)
- Public campaign financing (YES)
- Recall election reform (YES)
- Clinic funding (YES)
- Immunology research bond (YES)
