We spoke with south bay residents about why they chose to vote on the super tuesday proposition one, which would Fund Mental Health beds and treatment facilities, was a common reason. This time it was about Mental Health care and helping the homeless, which is a very two very big problems in california right now. The Mental Health, i think initiative is one that really, im hoping will make a big difference because we really need that the Mental Health thing and supporting our homeless just generically, simply just making my voice heard. I of course, you know, i like to see change. And theres been a push, a big push by the Santa Clara County registrar of Voters Office to get more people ages 18 to 34, to vote. Their team started posting videos on social media using trends to get the word out. So far, one video has garnered more than 6000 views, which is more than any of their other social media posts related to voting. So theres definitely a push to get more engagement, more involvement. But again, they just want to let people know if you still need to vote, make sure youre in line by 8 00 tonight live in san jose. Lauren martinez, abc seven news. You still have a couple of hours, but time is moving fast now. Lauren, thanks very much. A prop one is one of the hot races to watch. Its the only statewide measure and would use billions in bonds to provide housing for the homeless and mentally ill. The crowded and hotly contested race for the u. S. Senate seat left vacant by the death of Dianne Feinstein is another big one. Yes, and the race to fill east bay representative barbara lees seat. Its open because shes running for Feinsteins Senate seat. All right. We have a reporter dedicated to covering each of these congressional races tonight, abc7 News Reporter cornell bernard is following the Us Senate Race. Yeah. Lets hear first, though, from abc7 News Reporter anser hassan about the frontrunners for the race to represent nearly a Million People in the east bay. Unser ama and dan. Good evening and a few hours Lateefah Simon is going to hold her Election Party here in downtown oakland. Many of the political analysts that i spoke to say shes really emerged as the frontrunner in this race. A big reason the big endorsements shes been able to get the race to replace us congresswoman barbara lee in californias 12th Congressional District is coming down to two candidates. Shes running to be a part of the legislature isnt just about leading, its about partnering. Lateefah simon says she spent the past few months of her campaign talking with members of congress to learn how dc works. In a race with nine candidates, seven democrats and two republicans, simon has emerged as the frontrunner, picking up some key endorsements, including representative barbara lee herself, governor gavin newsom, both u. S. Senators from california, Laphonza Butler and alex padilla, as well as the California Democratic party obtaining a endorsements early in this campaign. Really, it was about folks believing in what i am capable of and how much i love this community. Simon currently serves as bart director. Her resume includes decades of community service. Many political analysts believe alameda vicemayor tony daysog and doctor jennifer tran, a professor at cal state east bay, will likely battle it out for second place. Only the top two candidates will advance to the november election. Tran says a vote for her is a vote for fresh perspectives. Within my first 100 days, im going to introduce a bipartisan bill called the modern cities act. In which we will modernize and set a National Standard for policing, addressing homelessness, ending homelessness, actually investing and revitalizing our small businesses. Political analyst Christian Hassan at uc berkeley says. Another advantage simon has is the amount of money shes raised , almost ten times more than her opponents. More information voters more messaging, and also just more like seeing their name more and more is incredibly important in a context like this one. Many of these election parties are set to begin at 8 p. M. Again, the top two finishers will move on to the november election. Reporting live. Anser hassan abc seven news. Okay. Unser, thanks very much. All right. We continue our Team Coverage with abc seven News Reporter cornell bernard. Yeah, cornell. Barbara lee is not polling very well, obviously, in this Us Senate Race or perhaps shaping up to be a very disappointing night for her. Yeah. Dan, barbara lee is the highest ranking black woman in congress, but she is an underdog in this race, currently trailing in the polls behind her rivals. New numbers from the political analysis site fivethirtyeight show poll averages for the primary and the frontrunner appears to be adam schiff, who was polling around 25, putting him a bit ahead of former Major League Baseball player steve garvey at 20, followed by katie porter with 18 and barbara lee roughly at 9. Now, lee has been representing californias 12th district in oakland and the east bay since 1998. She told the new yorker magazine that shes always been behind the polls because shes not on tv. All the time. Lee has been a longtime advocate of Racial Justice and worked to pass protections for women and the lgbtq community. But her positions have not always been popular. Professor nolan higdon, from cal state east bay, says lee holds a pivotal legacy in the Democratic Party, not only because she was able to win a seat in congress, but also maintain her progressive stance. So barbara lee, really, throughout her career, kept those progressive positions as early as being one of the lone members to vote against the authorization of the us military in afghanistan during the war on terror. Uh followed that up by voting against the war in iraq, which may not seem like a big deal now, but to people who are alive at the time, you know, the context was that people were almost talked about as if they were traitors to the country for not supporting that war. So it was a very brave act from a young congressperson. Even now, lee has not come close to her rivals campaign fundraising, federal election filings show that as of last month, schiff had brought in 31 million, while katie porter collected 16 million. Thats compared to 4. 8 million for barbara lee and about 6 million for garvey. Now, one more note lee cannot hold on to her congressional seat because California Law prevents her from simultaneously running for both the house and senate. We dont know yet whats next for lee. If she loses in the newsroom. Cornell, bernard, abc seven news. Okay, cornell. Thank you, in Alameda County, voters wasted no time dropping off their ballots this morning and making their voices heard. Dublin mayor Melissa Hernandez reminding people that every vote counts. I know a lot of folks think that their their vote does not count, but it definitely does. And so i always like to say at the local level, thats where you always get stuff done. I want to see changes. I mean, good changes come in my neighborhood, for my society and for the people that, you know that live in the city. There are 100 Voting Centers across Alameda County. They are open until 8 00 tonight. San Francisco Mayor london breed cast her ballot today at city hall. She also addressed the issue of crime in the city. If you look at our city compared to pretty much many major cities across the country and across the world, youll see that our numbers are on the lower end. In comparison, its just San Francisco, unfortunately, gets a lot of attention when something does happen. The mayor is backing San Franciscos proposition e, which would allow police to install security cameras on public property and use drones to monitor certain crimes, telling us the latest on voters at the polls in San Francisco, we have abc seven News Reporter jared stone. Hey jr. Hello, ama, a very busy night here at San Francisco city hall. And as more and more voters show up, you see some of them directly behind me making their voice be heard. Its exciting because you get to talk with them and you get a real feel for how they feel about certain issues, specifically issues within those propositions. Take a listen. I did vote on the Mental Health additional funding. Yeah, i definitely think that the Mental Health part, they definitely should have those to help all the homeless out here, specifically the ones about Mental Health and homelessness and whatnot, its, its really important to address that, especially for, san franciscans, probably the housing and the mental issue. I think thats a necessity, i think because we are having a lot of issues on the streets and, you know, vandalizing a lot of businesses. I mean, im a Business Owner myself. So, i know exactly how a lot of Business Owners do feel about that. Certainly we need the police for protecting all of us. On the other hand, we dont need them to act beyond what is a reasonable manner. And youre looking at the collection of one of those ballot boxes outside of San Francisco city hall. You definitely got a feeling listening to voters, their state proposition one, which involves millions of dollars worth of bonds, was brought up by almost every person i talked with today. They also spoke about the amount of Police Officers and policing. These are two major issues that we continue to hear about here in San Francisco. Now, as for turnout numbers, here in San Francisco, 120,000 ballots already collected, that is 24 of the vote. Now, when you put that up against past votes, theyre usually at around 49. So were on pace to reach that 49 on pace to hit that average here in San Francisco. And as for the first update tonight, it will come at around 845 this evening reporting live in San Francisco. J. R stone, abc seven news. All right j. R. Thank you for checking in and polling places again. Open until 8 p. M. You can take your mail in ballot there or to a drop box or a county election office.

You watch abc seven news bay area, so tune in for that this evening. And coming up next, we are joined live by abc seven news insider phil matier for a look at how low voter turnout could affect whats on the ballot. Im meteorologist sandhya patel. We have some damp roadways on this election day. Ill let you know how long youll need to hang on to the umbrellas coming up. When jardiance its a little pill with a big story to tell i take oncedaily jardiance at each days start as time went on it was easy to see im lowering my a1c jardiance works twentyfour seven in your body to flush out some sugar.

Jardiance is really swell the little pill with a big story to tell to provide housing for 11,000 people with Mental Health needs across the state. The most recent poll from the Berkeley Institute of governmental studies finds 50 of likely voters supporting it. A poll last month from the Public Policy institute of california showed support from 59 of likely voters. Now joining us is abc seven news insider phil matier. Phil, the governor really wants prop one to pass. Youve seen the ads on television. How much is on the line for him if it loses . Well, its a lot is on the line for him if it loses. This is basically and for the state as well in some ways, because whether you agree with it or disagree with it, whether you feel comfortable about spending the money or borrowing the money for these housing, for the homeless and for treatment beds for the mentally ill, the idea of rolling back the release of mental institutions and inmates under the reagan years, saying, we have to do something about that. They put all the eggs in this basket. I mean, theres no plan b, this is the plan. This is the plan. And after all these years, governor jerry brown didnt have much to say, if anything, about the homeless. We didnt hear about it from Arnold Schwarzenegger before. This is sort of dropped. And Gavin Newsoms lap up and down the state, especially here on the coast, we see the camps, we see the mentally ill, and we see counties and cities struggling with to try to come up with some unified package. This was it. So if it goes down, then thats tough for the state and tough for the governor, because then going forward, okay, this is the biggest problem facing the state for many people. What do you got going. Yeah thats true. You know theres also a lot of attention on the race for californias open seat in the u. S. Senate, with republican steve garvey leading in the polls right now. We talked about this before california hasnt had a republican senator since the 90s. Yeah, i think hes going to make it to the general election. Well, hell theres a good chance he could make it to the general election. But i think getting winning the general election is a whole different story. The math is this there are 30 republicans in the state of california. We dont hear a lot about that because were always painted solid blue. But there is that group there and all you get and you can get into the final at 25 because theres so Many Democrats running. So theres a good chance that tonight well see it. If he gets in, if he doesnt, it will be two democrats slugging it out come november. And that will be a very interesting story that will indeed, you know, the primaries usually have a low voter turnout, but the berkeley igs poll says this election could have historically low turnout. The question is, how does that affect whats on the ballot when theres just so little voter interest statewide . It skews towards republicans because they show up to vote rain, shine, sleet or hail. Over 65 white homeowner. Youre probably chances of running voting are really high. Interestingly enough, here in the bay area, were an exception. Of course were an exception. Always our high propensity voters tend to be over 65 homeowners, but theyre the eco people, the gray haired ponytail people. Theyre the old lefties from the 70s. So and they vote no matter what. So its an interesting way how it shifts statewide and in the bay area wide. All right. Well, bill, thanks so much. Okay. Interesting night we have tonight. Youll be with us. Thank you. All right. Well, it was dry getting to the polls today. Thats true. Oh, no. I take that back. Was it raining when you were. There was a little bit of rain, but nothing. No deluge, nothing to scare voters. Sandhya patel is here with the weather forecast. Sandy . Yeah. We just had spotty showers today. Dan and anna. And thats how its going to be tonight. Before tomorrow, we start to notice the intensity picking up. Now, if youre voting in favor of sunshine, you got it on thursday. Let me show you live doppler seven right now and you will notice where we are seeing the rain at this hour. So its really right around point arena, ten mile road heading into across fish rock road, street level radar, very light showers at this hour around clayton and the inland east bay. 680 walnut boulevard. You will likely run into some damp roads. Youll need those wipers in cupertino rainbow drive. Just watch out. Slippery roads for the evening commute. Now taking a look at the water vapor imagery and the live doppler seven, you will notice theres an area of low pressure off the california coast just west of San Francisco. Thats going to head down towards southern california, but it will provide the lift enough moisture that we will see some more showers. Now, tonight, lets take a look at those reservoir levels. Percent of historical average. Shasta 113 oroville 131. Some of our biggest reservoirs here. New melones 138. All of them pretty much above except san luis, 85 of historical average.

Sunnier and milder. If youre waiting for that in this weekend. Unsettled, but its not going to be a washout. Dont forget to spring forward on sunday as we take a look at our storm impact scale tonight and tomorrow, well call it a level one with those scattered showers moderate in pockets for your wednesday with a slight chance of thunder for tomorrow. So tonight were going to go with just spotty showers. Seven 8 00. If you do have plans to still go to the polls, youll need those umbrellas as we head towards tomorrow morning. Allow that extra time because there will be damp areas for the morning commute, drizzle and showers, and at noontime you start to notice some pockets of moderate rain. Briefly heavy, 4 p. M. And the showers will pretty much wind down by the time you head into the latter part of the evening. Rainfall is going to be all over the board, anywhere from nothing measurable to about six 7 10 of an inch in the wettest spots. Your morning temperatures will be in the 40s and 50s. You will need the umbrellas tomorrow afternoon. Keep those umbrellas handy as we are tracking scattered showers, 50s and 60s for your highs. And if you want sunshine, just wait until thursday and friday. Tomorrow is a level one. We have that brief break thursday and friday and then well go with saturday. Some spotty showers. Level one.

Biden has also won vermont hundreds of delegates are at stake, with elections being held in 16 states plus the u. S. Territory of american samoa. South bay representative anna eshoo is retiring, and shes been in Congress Since the 90s. Abc7 news south bay reporter zach fuentes joins us live with a look at the race for her seat. Zach yeah. With she retiring, this is the first time in more than 30 years that this congressional seat has opened up like this. Theres a long list of candidates running the front runners. Three of them are democrats, many of whom have some very familiar names throughout the 16th Congressional District. Got to talk with san jose state political professor melinda jackson, who gave us a rundown of three of them. Weve got sam liccardo, former mayor of san jose, served two terms in san jose. Great name recognition in the south bay. Pretty popular mayor. We have evan low, whos currently in the state assembly, was a former mayor of campbell, also, you know, good name recognition in that part of the district. And then we have joe simitian, who has also had a long political career, served at the state assembly at the county level, but his base of support is a little bit further up the peninsula. So you have kind of, you know, these three democrats sort of with their their home base in different parts of the district. These might be the candidates with the most name recognition in the race and have raised a lot of money. They have not raised the most money. According to opensecrets. Org. And their february 14th check, its newcomer, democratic candidate peter dixon, who has raised the most with more than 2. 7 million. Liccardo, low and simitian followed in second, third and fourth when it comes to fundraising, so political expert jackson, who you just heard from there, says that in this election and the people who turn out to vote for it might be looking more for name recognition and Campaign Dollars may not matter. So were going to be following this race closely. The top two candidates move on to the general election. Were going to hear more from some of those candidates later in the evening. And the rest of our coverage right now live in palo alto. Zach fuentes, abc seven news. More to come here tonight. Zach, thanks very much. Voter turnout is projected to be low today despite the state making it easier than ever to vote. We went back more than 20 years in the abc seven news archives for this footage. Take a look at the lines at polling places in 2000. We dont really see that very often anymore. The vast majority of people now vote by mail and drop off their ballot. Abc seven News Reporter ryan curry tells you why experts believe voting by mail doesnt necessarily lead to more ballots cast over 70. These workers are bringing out dozens of ballots from the walnut creek city hall. Loading them into boxes and transferring them over to the county office to be counted. Super tuesday is underway in the bay area. We have over 1200 people that are helping with our 147 polling places, including our 147 inspectors. Contra costa county is fully staffed with workers collecting ballots or helping others fill them out. Upstairs in the recorders office, the tallying process has already started. The county recorder says most of the ballots come in through the mail. The data shows that since we started mailing a ballot to every registered voter in contra costa, between 90 and 95 of our cast ballots have come in through vote by mail. California started sending everyone in the state ballots three years ago. Experts say it has led to more people voting. If we compare the world of this primary election happening now without making it easier to vote, right . I absolutely would expect that the turnout were going to see would be higher than the turnout we would see otherwise. But it doesnt mean turnout for every election will be high. Professor Jason Mcdaniel at San Francisco state says despite it being easier to vote this particular election doesnt have much to excite voters. Voters have to feel that theres something at stake thats worth their time and effort, and this primary election, for a variety of reasons, noncompetitive president ial primaries in both parties, a senate race that is not a Democratic Party primary. Its a top two primary. I think thats lowered the stakes for a lot of democrats. Professor mcdaniel says the increase in votes by mail is a good thing. That can lead to more people participating in elections. These convenience things to increase voting are a good thing, and i think they increase trust in the process. Make it more likely that more people vote, and so if they vote once, theyre more likely to vote again. And so i think theres a lot of positive feedback that can happen in the east bay. Ryan curry, abc seven news. And we will be streaming live coverage of Election Results tonight through the abc seven bay area app immediately after abc seven news at six.

Opd says a juvenile is in custody in connection with the homicide of majid alhasani.

Another big retailer may be considering leaving San Franciscos union square, the chronicle reports. Luxury designer burberry is looking to sell its location on post street. Its a 17,000 square foot space in the heart of union square. As you know, the asking price is unclear, but building the building last sold in 2001 for more than 16 million. The newspaper also reports burberry has found a possible new location at geary and grant, and is considering leasing the building on post street, so well keep you posted on that. San francisco voters are weighing in on proposition c today. This measure would waive the transfer tax for some converted buildings. It also hopes to reduce the citys record high Office Vacancy rate. Todays vote comes as we learn that another Downtown Office tower owner is reporting a dramatic loss in the value of their buildings. Abc7 News Reporter suzanne phan has more on the evolving commercial crisis. Its a reset. All of downtown big news about two Big Properties in San Francisco. Location number one, 555 and 575 market street. And then location number two, 111 sutter street. Collectively paramount group paid 949 million for those offices. But now the paramount group owes more on the buildings than theyre actually worth. So both investments have been marked down to zero on company books. Eric tao is the outgoing chair of the urban land institute. A lot of times you mark it down, which is the right thing to do. If that you have reporting obligations to your investors, etc. But also you reset, you reset the valuation. So this hurts the city, of course, because lower property taxes. But you reset, so you pay less to what we call carry the building. No word of paramount group will surrender its properties. Its two buildings are around 45 vacant. Last year, 350 california was sold. It was one of the most valuable commercial Real Estate Properties in the country. 350 california is an actual sale where the property went back out on the market and was sold for less than half the price of its previous uh sale price. Last june, the owners of the westfield San Francisco center mall turned over the keys to the lender when they defaulted on their lease. Real estate and Development Experts say this situation is different, and that paramount group has some options. When you reset the value, you can reset the rents and people will pay the lower rents to be back in downtown again in the grow. From there, we had a super heated white hot market for year after year as we came out of the great recession. And now theres been a big postcovid market correction. Peskin says the reset is a chance to redefine downtown. Were going to see opportunities for residential in our downtown core, he says. It could mean more office to residential conversion. It could mean making more room for arts and entertainment. Weve got to move San Francisco forward. We have to look for our opportunities for downtown and this reset is going to be an opportunity in San Francisco. Suzanne phan abc seven news.

Across california, reservoir and snowpack levels sit at or above historic averages and that is thanks in great part to the major storms weve seen over the last two winters, including that recent blizzard in the sierra that really helped. Abc seven news south bay reporter Dustin Dorsey explains what that might mean for Drought Conditions going forward. Rain can be inconvenient, but its worth it, especially here in california, where we once lived in a seemingly never ending drought. But two years of major storms allow accuweather meteorologists to say the golden state may stay drought free for a while. The plentiful rain and mountain snow of the recent years sets the groundwork for accuweathers forecast of no widespread drought in california for the next two years into all of 2025 and into the early part of 2026, accuweather chief meteorologist Jonathan Porter is confident in his forecast for four main reasons. Reservoirs are averaging around 118 of long terme historic average, thanks in part to storms of 2023. This year, weve seen near to above normal rain through february and the recent blizzard in the sierra helped push the state above historic averages as well, and both rain and snow are projected to stay that way this month. Abc seven news meteorologist drew tuma says this puts the state in a great position. Weve had two very good winters that has set the stage for keeping our reservoirs full during the summer and our snowpack is at a very healthy rate that will have good snow melt during the summer and into the fall, which should help to keep our Water Supplies sufficient. An Important Note accuweather projects no widespread Drought Conditions, but things may still run dry at a local level. Valley waters matt keller feels good about the water in the bank, but knows Climate Change could quickly impact water supply. We had that record breaking dry start to the year in 2022, and we had that snowpack melt in 2021, so weve seen extreme weather events recently. While we do, you know, we can look forward to two years and have high hopes. We also know that we just need to be prepared. Preparation is always key. As drew says a la nina next year may lead to a drier than average winter, but theres still plenty of reason for optimism after two wet years. Dustin dawsey, abc seven news great to see this progress. Absolutely not too much rain today. No. Not much. A little more coming back. Nothing too serious though. Sandy. It doesnt sound like no nothing major in terms of impacts. But tonight, dan and anna, we do have some spotty showers. Were still tracking. Some of this is in the form of drizzle thats dampening the roads. These are showers around navarro.
