2009 California elections
The elections were authorized by the State Legislature and Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger as a part of a budget signed into law on February 19, 2009.[2] Proposition 1A was a constitutional amendment that would have increased the annual contributions to the state's rainy day fund.[6] In the special runoff election, Democratic Curren Price won by a large margin, beating Republican Nachum Schifren and Peace and Freedom Party candidate Cindy Henderson.[7] A special election to fill the 32nd congressional district was called by Governor Schwarzenegger on March 10, 2009, as a consequence of the resignation of former Congresswoman Hilda Solis following her appointment as United States Secretary of Labor.In the May 19 primary, Democrat Judy Chu led all candidates, but failed to gain enough to prevent a runoff general election.
