🌟 THREE VOICES, ONE COSTA MESA 🌟

Let’s bring Costa Mesa together! Join Cara Stewart (District 3), Angely Andrade-Vallarta (District 4), and Kelly Brown (District 5) for an evening of conversation, connection, and community.

We’re inviting neighbors, local leaders, advocates, and community members to come together, share what matters to you, and talk about the opportunities ahead for our city.

From safer streets and housing, to parks, infrastructure, and economic opportunity and public safety—including Flock, we believe the best ideas come from listening to the people who call Costa Mesa home.

📅 August 27
⏰ 6–8 PM
📍 Location provided with RSVP
🎟️ $15 suggested donation**
🍴 Food & beverages provided

Come meet your neighbors. Connect with local leaders. Help shape the future of Costa Mesa—together.

Use this as a guide as you consider your choices in the June Primary, and most importantly, make a plan to vote early.

📬 Ballots will be mailed to all active registered California voters starting May 4, 2026
📍 Secure ballot drop-off locations open May 5, 2026
📮 Return your ballot by mail, at a drop box, or at your county elections office

We strongly urge you to vote as soon as you receive your ballot. Don’t wait: Last-minute issues can delay delivery and risk your vote not being counted.

🗳 In-person early voting opens Saturday, May 30, 2026
⏰ June 2, 2026, is Election Day, the final day to vote in person or return your ballot by 8:00 p.m.
📮 Vote-by-mail ballots must be postmarked by June 2. If mailing that day, be sure to get a hand-stamped postmark inside a USPS office. We’re really counting on Democrats to vote early. After your ballot is received and registered, your name is removed from statewide records, which means candidates don’t have to spend money following up to earn your vote.

Every vote matters. Make a plan. Vote early.
