COUNTY CLERK / REGISTRAR OF VOTERS
BRANDI L. ORTH
Dear Registered Voter:
The Statewide Primary Election is rapidly approaching, and we are prepared for your involvement! Election Day, June 3, 2014, gives you
an opportunity to participate in democracy by casting your vote.
This primary election includes races for state offices, Congressional races, county races, the City of Fresno races, state propositions, and
local measures. The California Senate races for Districts 8, 12, and 14 are implementing district boundary changes for the first time since
the 2010 census and re-districting. You can verify what political districts you reside in by going to: www.co.fresno.ca.us/elections. You
will notice that a QR code is on the front cover of this sample ballot, which when scanned by your mobile device, will take you directly to
the County Clerk website to learn a wide variety of information.
June 3, 2014 will be the first time the Top Two Primary Act will be applied to a gubernatorial election. You will note that all the state and
congressional candidates for voter-nominated races, regardless of party, are on each ballot. You may vote for one candidate of your
choice, regardless of their party. After the statewide votes are tabulated the two candidates who receive the most votes, will move on to
the November General Election to be held on November 4, 2014.
Have you noticed the large arrow on the cover of this pamphlet? It points to the name and address of your polling location, printed on the
back cover. This is important information! Please vote at the location chosen for you or vote by mail. If you don’t vote at your assigned
polling location then your name will not appear on the roster. You will be processed as a provisional voter – which means your voted ballot
will be sealed in a pink provisional envelope and not opened until after the election when election officials research your registered voter
status.
There are a few dates which carry great significance in this election:
May 5, 2014 – permanent vote-by-mail ballots and sample ballots will be mailed to voters;
May 5, 2014 through June 3, 2014: you may come into the County Clerk’s office and vote your ballot or take a ballot home;
May 19, 2014 – deadline to become a registered voter in this election
May 27, 2014 – deadline to request a vote-by-mail ballot to be mailed to you
June 3, 2014 – ELECTION DAY – from 7:00 am to 8:00 pm.
We welcome your input regarding your voting experience.
You can reach us at 559-600-VOTE (8683) or by e-mail at clerk-elections@co.fresno.ca.us.
Sincerely,
Brandi Orth
Fresno County Clerk

UNITED STATES REPRESENTATIVE, DISTRICT NO. 21
AMANDA RENTERIA
Occupation: Farm Policy Advisor
Education and Qualifications:
I’m a daughter of the Central Valley, a mom, a former high-school teacher, and a
dedicated public servant.
I attended Stanford with the help of student loans and received an education that
gave me more opportunities than my parents had as migrant farmworkers. As your
representative, I will work to ensure that our children have the same opportunities to
succeed — I will fight for universal pre-K and will cut student loan interest rates.
As a working mom, I know the challenges that families face, and in Congress, I will
fight to ease them. I will work to bring about job growth in the Valley, equal pay for
women, and earned paid sick leave so that no family has to choose between caring for
a sick child or paying the bills. I will work to protect our water and bring more water into
the Valley so that we can keep our businesses open and our community healthy.
Unlike our current Congress, I will always protect our seniors and put their interests ahead
of wealthy corporations’ interests so that everyone who works hard can retire with dignity.
Our Valley deserves a representative who knows how hard the Valley is struggling,
and I will never stop working to ease the challenges we face.
I would be honored to have your vote and support.
Endorsed by: the California Democratic Party, the Women’s Political Committee, the
Committee for Hispanic Caucuses, and local labor groups, including the Laborers and
firefighters.

LISA GAMOIANage: 55
Occupation: Chief of Homicide, Fresno County District Attorney
Education and Qualifications:
I am the Chief Deputy District Attorney specially assigned to prosecute the most
violent and dangerous criminals in Fresno County. I have proudly served you in that
capacity for 24 years.
I successfully prosecuted numerous Three Strikes and Death Penalty cases. I
prosecuted Marcus Wesson who was sentenced to death for the murders of his 9
children. As a result, I was named California’s Outstanding Prosecutor of the Year. I
teach Deputy District Attorneys and Police Cadets throughout the State.
Born in Selma, the daughter of a raisin farmer, I still operate my late father’s 40 acre
farm. I know the importance of water to Fresno County and the court’s role in protecting
our water rights.
I graduated from Selma High, Fresno State and Hastings Law School. I have a lifelong investment in Fresno County. I believe in our community with all my heart.
Because I am committed to public safety and service, I am now running for Superior
Court Judge. I will work to stop the “revolving door” at the jail that releases an average
of 50 criminals a day back onto our streets. I have the right experience to dispense the
tough and fair justice we the people of Fresno County deserve.
PHILLIP JARRETT CLINE
Occupation: Deputy District Attorney
Education and Qualifications:
It has been my honor to serve you as Deputy District Attorney. As a prosecutor and
former police officer obtaining justice for victims of crime has always been my highest
priority. My extensive knowledge of both criminal and civil law has prepared me to be a
tough, levelheaded, and fair judge.
As your judge I will insure that all our citizens have ready access to their justice
system. By integrating web-based services, cloud technologies, and smart apps I will
make our court system more efficient, save taxpayer money, and make our calendars
serve you rather than the other way around.
I want to see our police officers kept on the street rather than waiting for cases in the
hallways of the courthouse. I want to see our mental health courts expanded so the
mentally ill don’t get lost in the justice system. I want to see the scope of our veterans
courts increased so that justice and dignity is available to those who have served our
country.
My endorsements include Assembly Minority leader Connie Conway and Senator
Jean Fuller.
It will be an honor for me to continue my public service as your judge. I respectfully
ask for your vote.

RACHEL HILLage: 50
Occupation: C
riminal Law Professor, Civil Attorney, Former Prosecutor
Education and Qualifications:
I am the only candidate with experience in the many areas of law directly affecting our
community. My civil and criminal law experience, reputation as a tough prosecutor and
trial attorney, and my work teaching Constitutional Law, Ethics, Criminal and Juvenile
Law, establish me as the most qualified candidate.
Judges don’t choose which cases they will get. Taxpayers need a judge with broadbased legal and life experience. I have that experience, handling cases ranging from
gang, armed robbery and homicide to contract, water, and zoning disputes. Candidates
who have only prosecution experience or a title of “administrative law judge,” which has
them handling only administrative claims, lack the necessary qualifications. I am the
only candidate with the experience to hit the ground running on day one.
Graduating from Notre Dame Law School in 1990, I spent years developing vast
experience in civil law with a top Fresno firm. I then joined the Fresno County District
Attorney’s Office, where I was a prosecutor for over ten years, earning Criminal Law
Specialist Certification, never losing a trial. I have defended constitutional rights of
individuals in state and federal courts.
A vote for me is a vote for experience, strength and common sense.
CHARLES F. MAGILLage: 52
Occupation: Attorney
Education and Qualifications:
Juris Doctorate from San Joaquin College of Law
Change is coming to the Fresno County judicial system. Prison overcrowding is a
reality and the days of “just lock them up” are behind us. Almost all of the seated judges
are former career prosecutors and that has served us well in the past, however, these
new realities are going to require a commitment to be tough on crime and the ability to
look outside-of-the-box to insure justice.
My 25 years of experience in the private sector makes me well qualified for the office
of judge. As an experienced attorney and legal analyst I bring a new and independent
perspective to the bench.
I believe passionately in the rights the Constitution has identified. I have courageously
fought in court for the rights of religious freedom and free speech and have been
recognized for my work by the Pacific Justice Institute.
My wife and business partner, Laura Guzman Magill, a successful attorney who
recently passed away from a battle with breast cancer always agreed with my philosophy
that a defense attorney is the ultimate defender of our Constitutional rights.

STEVEN D. SMITH
Occupation: Administrative Law Judge II
Education and Qualifications:
My family came to Fresno County in 1965. I grew up during a time when our doors
did not need to be locked and everyone knew their neighbors. Our values remain the
same, but our community continues to change. We need firm compassionate judges to
deal with Fresno’s crime rates. Judges also need to appreciate the diverse nature of our
citizens as well as our business community.
While in college at Fresno State, I worked for U.S. Senator Pete Wilson. As a criminal
defense attorney for almost 20 years, I represented clients in thousands of cases in half
of the counties of this state, as well as several federal courts.
I have served the people as an Administrative Law Judge for the past five years. As
an ALJ I have made tough and well-reasoned decisions that have affected the lives of
the thousands of citizens. As your next Superior Court Judge, I will continue to make
tough well-reasoned decisions.
I am the only local conservative candidate with extensive judicial training and
experience. I ask for your vote on June 3rd.

Occupation: F
resno County Superintendent of Schools
Education and Qualifications:
Fresno is our home. Born and raised here, I attended and graduated from the public
schools in our County. After serving as Deputy Superintendent under Larry Powell
for several years, I was proud to be appointed in June 2013 as your Fresno County
Superintendent of Schools. Now in my 23rd year in education, I believe that a variety
of opportunities for students, business-school partnerships and participation by the
community are critical elements to student success. Our teachers, administrators and
school staff absolutely cannot do it alone. I am a strong advocate for Career Technical
Education, and promoting the Arts. Students deserve the opportunity to discover their
passions, as they prepare for higher education and/or to enter the work force. Many
of the unique challenges we face in Fresno County carry a tremendous impact on our
children, specifically poverty and homelessness. I believe education is the ultimate
equalizer and is a crucial component for our students’ success, at any age, including
preparing our students to enter school with Early Care in Education. I would be honored
to receive your vote so that I may continue my work. Together we can change the lives
of our children, one future at a time.

BUDDY MENDESage: 57
Occupation: F
armer/Small Businessman
Education and Qualifications:
I’m Buddy Mendes and I’m running for District 4 Supervisor because I can make a
positive difference in our lives by addressing the 5 main issues we’re facing: Water,
Jobs, Education, Public Safety and Good Roads.
I’ve farmed on both sides of the Valley for 38 years, so nobody knows more about
water and agriculture than I do.
As a small businessman, I’ve created hundreds of jobs and I’ll do everything I can to
make Fresno County business-friendly to help existing businesses expand and bring in
new businesses with good-paying jobs.
I’ve been on the Riverdale Unified School District Board for 21 years. We have
one of the highest graduation rates in California and Riverdale High is one of the top
performing school in California among Hispanic-majority non-magnet schools.
The Fresno Deputy Sheriff’s Association has endorsed me because they “believe I
will stand by my word when it comes to keeping the citizens of Fresno County safe and
secure in your homes and communities.”
Good roads are the backbone of our economy and as your Supervisor I will make it
my job to make sure our roads are safe and smooth.

Update your voter registration!
When is the deadline to register to vote or update my registration?
The deadline is 15 days before an election.
When do I have to update my voter registration information?
Fill out a new voter registration form if you:
Move to a new address,
Change your mailing address,
Change your name,
Are released from prison and complete parole,
Would like to change your political party, or
Feel your signature has changed.
What happens if I do NOT update my information?
Your name may not be on the Roster of Voters at the polls on Election Day. That means you may
have to vote a provisional ballot, which may not have all of the candidates or measures that are on
the ballot for your current address.
If we do not have your current mailing address, the post office will not forward your election mail.
Why update my signature?
We are aware that signatures may change over time and submitting a new voter registration card will
update our records with your most up to date signature. This is quite significant as, for example, our
office uses the signature to verify the identity of every voter on Vote-by-Mail ballots and petitions.
Where can I get a voter registration form?
You can get a voter registration form at:
At our elections office, 2221 Kern Street, Fresno, CA 93721
Any public library,
Any fire station,
Your local DMV office, or
Electronically at: registertovote.ca.gov.

Information for Voters Voting at the Polls
What happens when I go to the polls on Election Day?
• First, a precinct officer will ask you to state your name and address out loud.
• Second, you will be asked to sign the Roster of Voters.
• Third, the precinct officer will give you a ballot and secrecy sleeve and direct you to a voting booth.
• Finally, you mark your ballot and deposit it in the ballot box.
If you need assistance with the voting process, ask the precinct officer to help you.
Do I need identification to vote?
The only voters who will be asked for ID at the polls are those who registered by mail but didn’t provide a drivers’ license number on the
registration form and are voting for the first time for a federal office.
What if my name isn’t on the Roster of Voters or I don’t have my Vote-By-Mail ballot to surrender?
If your name is not on the Roster of Voters at the polling place, or you are a Vote-by-Mail voter, but do not have your ballot to surrender,
a precinct officer will offer you a “provisional ballot”.
What is a “provisional ballot”?
A “provisional ballot” is an official ballot that the voter gets at the polls and puts inside a special pink envelope after they have signed
the provisional roster. The voter fills out and signs the form on the envelope, and returns it to a precinct officer. The ballot inside the
envelope is counted after Election Day provided the voter is registered to vote in Fresno County and has not voted elsewhere in that
election. Provisional voters get a receipt with a phone number they can call no sooner than 40 days after the election to check if their
ballot was counted.
Why would my name not be printed on the Roster of Voters at the polls?
The most common reasons are:
• You are in the wrong polling place, or
• You changed your name and did not re-register to vote, or
• You moved into Fresno County or moved to a new precinct within Fresno County but did not re-register to vote, or
• You never registered or you registered after the deadline.
NOTE: Election mail cannot be forwarded. Be sure to re-register to vote if you move or change your name, otherwise you will not receive
election mail and your name may not be on the Roster at your polling place.
