Prop 4 is endorsed by a broad coalition of public safety leaders, wildfire prevention specialists, clean water experts, small businesses, labor, the California Democratic Party, and many more.
Recent California wildfires have burned two million acres, released toxic smoke into our air, and polluted drinking water supplies; yet the firefighters on the frontlines know our worst wildfire seasons are still ahead of us. We need to take action today. Firefighters say YES to Prop 4.”
— Brian K. Rice, President, California Professional Firefighters
Prop 4 helps provide safe drinking water for California. It removes harmful contaminants, upgrades vital infrastructure, and boosts local storage to increase supply when we need it most. These solutions work and we need them now.”
— Sophie James, Water Quality Scientist
