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
FR 003-001

UNITED STATES REPRESENTATIVE, DISTRICT NO. 16
JIM COSTA
Occupation: Farmer / Representative
Education and Qualifications:
As a lifelong Valley resident and your voice in Congress, one basic principle guides
me: The Valley comes first.
My family came here as immigrants in 1899 pursuing the American Dream. They
found it. I am determined to keep that Dream alive for every hardworking Valley resident.
As a third generation family farmer, I know firsthand that water is the lifeblood of the
Valley. Without our fair share we all suffer the economic consequences.
That’s why I am fighting every day to secure our water supply, create new jobs and
strengthen local schools and colleges for our Valley families.
Putting the Valley first means working with anyone willing to help protect our jobs, our
economy, and our way of life.
Together we have earned ample success; among those items are the following:
Led the effort to provide a level of short term drought relief by securing carryover
water for federal contractors.
Fighting for long-term water solutions like increasing storage and turning on the pumps.
Passing a five-year Farm Bill that keeps Valley agriculture growing.
Leading the charge for comprehensive immigration reform.
Opening the Fresno Veterans Home.
Together we’ve secured investments to rebuild our Valley’s roads, hire police officers to
make our communities safe, and train doctors in the Valley to keep our families healthy.
I went to Congress for one reason: to fight for the people of our Valley. That’s what
I’m doing. Please visit JimCosta.com to see for yourself.
JOANNA GARCIA-BOTELHO
Education and Qualifications:
Our Congress has been going in the wrong direction for far too long. This is especially
true for those of us who live here in the Valley, where our needs consistently take a back
seat to urban interests.
I grow almonds in Madera County. My husband and I own a well drilling company,
and I serve as President/Broker of MainStreet Realty, Inc. in Chowchilla.
Given my background, I know firsthand the hardships faced by farmers and small
businesses, and I know that many of those hardships result from the misguided actions
of Congress and bureaucratic powers in Washington, DC.
Our Valley is now facing a monumental water crisis. Water issues in California are
complex, but one simple fact stands out — we must develop more storage. That will be
my top priority in Congress.
I strongly oppose the High Speed Rail project. If it is ever built, it will become a
perpetual burden on taxpayers.
We need true health care reform, and not the mess that has descended upon us from
Washington, DC.
The people of the San Joaquin Valley are hard working, principled people. We all
want to make life here better for our children.
We must elect people to Congress who share those qualities and beliefs, and who
will work to take government off our backs and out of our wallets. That is why I am
seeking to become your next representative in Congress.

MEL LEVEY
Occupation: Military Officer
Education and Qualifications:
I was born and raised in the Valley where my family has lived and worked for
140 years. My hard work in the classroom and passion for service afforded me the
opportunity to attend the United States Military Academy at West Point.
Upon graduation from West Point, I spent seven years as an Officer in the United
States Army. During three deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan, I led soldiers into
combat, supervised operations for 4,000 soldiers, and managed a budget of over $1
million.
Now I want to put the leadership skills I learned fighting in combat to work for the
people of this area in the United States House of Representatives.
In the Army, we trained to prevent emergencies and execute strategies. It is
embarrassing to witness the lack of leadership in Washington that answers every
crisis with more reckless spending. We have been left with a country further in debt,
communities without water and jobs, and a disastrous plan for universal healthcare.
I will make commonsense decisions that benefit the Valley. I will develop a plan for
increased water storage and stand against tax increases that harm our families, farms,
and small businesses. I will defend the rights of law-abiding citizens to keep and bear
arms because it is part of the fabric of our country. Together we will create jobs, attract
business, and ensure the safety and success of our families.
Please email me at Mel@MelLevey.com or call (209) 769‑1285 to discuss my vision
for our country.
JOHNNY TACHERRA
Occupation: Farmer
Education and Qualifications:
I am running for Congress to repeal Obamacare because government is too big
and spends too much. I support a complete overhaul of the tax code to end the I.R.S.
abuses and protect privacy rights. I support building the Keystone Pipeline to secure
America’s energy future and lower gas prices. I will confront San Francisco billionaires
trying to steal our water to turn our Valley into a dustbowl. I believe in a strong defense
that brings more of our overseas military home. It is time to focus on America for a
change.
As a third-generation dairy farmer and small business owner, I have grown up in the
Central Valley. My wife Lisa Marie and I raise our four children here. I was raised to
farm, provide for my family, and make a difference in my church and community. I have
served on the Oak Grove Veterans Memorial Board, the California Dairy Campaign
Board and as Secretary of the California Farmers Union. I am also a proud member
of the National Rifle Association to protect our Second Amendment freedoms and
Leadership Fresno.
I am running to fix our broken water system and stop funding the “Bullet Train” that
wastes tax dollars and destroys farmland. I am running to fight for a Central Valley and
America where our children can live in freedom, build a business and raise their families
without Barack Obama and the government telling them how they must do it.

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.

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.

JUDGE OF THE SUPERIOR COURT, OFFICE NO. 15
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.

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.

couple of years. I vow to ensure it keeps that promise, and I hope to earn your vote.

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

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.
