Census 2020: What you need to know
The 2020 Census is closer than you think! Here’s a quick review of what it is and why it’s
important that everyone is counted.
What is it?
The census is a process of counting every person living in the Unites States. The first
census took place in 1790. The U.S. Constitution mandates that everyone in the country
be counted every 10 years.
What is it used for?

Representation: Every 10 years, the results of the census are used to determine how
many seats each state gets in the House of Representatives. This determines how many
electoral college votes each state has as well.
Money: The results of the census also help with deciding the distribution of more than
$675 billion in federal funds and grants to be spent locally on schools, hospitals, roads,
public works and other vital programs.
Boundaries: After every census, state officials redraw the boundaries of the
congressional and state legislative districts in their states to account for change in
population.
Your privacy
Your privacy is protected. It’s against the law for the Census Bureau to publicly release
your responses in any way that could identify you or your household. By law, the Census
Bureau cannot share your answers with any other government agency.
How you can be involved

Be counted! 2020 will be easier than ever to participate in. In 2020, you will be able to
respond to the census online.
It takes lots of people to count the number of people living in our country. The Census
Bureau needs your ideas on how to make sure everyone in our community gets counted.

Candidate’s Statements & Measures
Candidate’s Statements
Candidates have the option to prepare and pay for a statement to be printed in this
pamphlet in their choice of languages. Statements are printed in the random
alphabetical order determined by the Secretary of State.
The following section may not contain a statement for each candidate. A complete list of
candidates appears on the sample ballot included in this pamphlet.
Each candidate’s statement is printed exactly as submitted.
Measures
The following pages may contain information about local measures including analysis
and arguments. Arguments in support or in opposition to proposed measures are the
opinions of the authors and are printed at their expense.
Each analysis and argument is printed exactly as submitted.
Where do I find candidates’ campaign finance reports?

The Political Reform Act requires detailed disclosure of contributions and expenditures
for campaigns supporting or opposing state and local candidates, ballot measures and
money spent or received in connection with lobbying the State Legislature.
To receive information about local candidates’ campaign expenditures, you may call the Inyo
County Elections Department at (760) 878-0224.
To receive information about state candidates, donors and lobbyists, you may call the
Secretary of State Office at (916) 653-6224 or visit their website http://www.sos.ca.gov
Expenditure Limitations: State Legislative candidates

Voters passed Proposition 34 in November 2000. This law says we must tell voters the
names of candidates who agree to campaign spending limits. This law only applies to
candidates for State Legislative offices.
Candidates who agree to the campaign spending limits are allowed to pay for and
publish a candidate’s statement of qualifications. The Assembly candidates who have
accepted the campaign spending limits in Inyo County are:

STATEMENT OF CANDIDATE FOR
U.S. REPRESENTATIVE, 8TH DISTRICT
BOB CONAWAY Age 67
Occupation: Attorney
Education and Qualifications: First, we need to pass the Audit the Fed law.
An example of how out of control the Federal Reserve is: since Sept. 17, the
Federal Reserve Bank of New York has pumped billions of dollars into the
repurchasing bad debts market, the first such intervention since 2009. The
Federal Reserve has announced that it will continue to inject as much as
$75 billion a day into the bad debt market until Nov. 4. The American people
are not told what banks benefited from the Fed’s intervention or what plans
the Fed is making for future bailouts — even though we will pay for those
bailouts either through increased taxes, debt, or the Federal Reserve’s hidden
inflation tax. Second, political change will never come without passing &
funding secure ballot, counting & tabulation laws. Third we need to protect
Social Security against Congress borrowing from it and not paying borrowed
funds back. Fourth, our defenders need better pay & benefits & the best
tools needed to carry out their mission.
I have successfully represented individuals & business against government

abuses. If elected I can continue that fight. I humbly ask for your vote.

U.S. REPRESENTATIVE, 8TH DISTRICT
TIM DONNELLY AGE:53
Occupation: Manufacturing Sales Engineer
Education and Qualifications: I’m Tim Donnelly—the Trump Conservative

in this race.
Former CA State Assemblyman. Minuteman Leader. Business owner.
Why should you vote for me? If you want to know what I’ll do in office, look
at what I’ve done:
In 2005, before ever putting my name on a ballot, I ran a prison Bible Study
for 8 years. I founded the largest Minuteman Group in the state of CA—
organizing a huge border watch operation. The media attention on our efforts
shamed the Federal Government into doing it’s job, and sparked national
awareness of the border crisis.
In 2011, while many of my colleagues in the Legislature were enjoying
lobbyist junkets in Hawaii, I led the statewide effort (gathering $450K
signatures) to repeal the Dream Act—which gives illegal aliens free college
tuition (paid for by you and I).
In 2014, I gave up my Assembly seat in order to save CA and our Gun Rights
by running for Governor against Jerry Brown, pushing my bill to make it
cheaper and easier for every law-abiding citizen to get a CCW.
Later that year, I led a successful protest against the visiting Mexican
President—who had come here to negotiate more rights for his illegal
citizens in CA. Our efforts led to the release of US Marine Sgt. Andrew
Tahmooressi, suffering PTSD, and stuck in a Mexican jail for making a wrong
turn.
I will always put America First—and have our Veteran’s and our President’s
back.

STATE ASSEMBLY, 26TH DISTRICT
DREW PHELPS
Occupation: Healthcare Advocate
Education and Qualifications: My name is Drew Phelps and I would be
honored to serve as your next Assemblymember. As a fourth generation
Tularean, I’ve grown up in our district, worked and volunteered here, and
have always been engaged in our community.
Anyone who spends time in our district understands that we’ve been
ignored by Sacramento for too long. I’m running because I want to deliver
the commonsense solutions our communities desperately need -- we can’t
afford more years of inaction.
My top priorities are the issues that affect us all: water, healthcare access,
and workforce training.
We need to ensure that we have an adequate supply of water. I will work

tirelessly to pursue new storage and conveyance projects, along with Delta
solutions, to provide more water statewide; freeing up more water for the
Owens Valley and Inyo County as a whole.
My experience as one of the leaders of the Citizens for Hospital Accountability

campaign in Tulare helped me recognize the dire need to fight for more
funding from the state budget for our hospitals and clinics, particularly to
attract and keep doctors and nurses.
I will also work to expand access to vocational education to students across

our district, along with a greater focus on workforce training for those who
may be displaced from jobs in our changing economy.
Ultimately, I understand that these are issues that can’t wait to be addressed
– we need action now. With your vote, I can put my experience to work for
all of us.

affected by the District’s receipt of State matching funds and the final costs of each
project. In the absence of State matching funds, which the District will aggressively
pursue to reduce the District’s share of the costs of the projects, the District may
not be able to complete some of the projects listed above. The budget for each
project is an estimate and may be affected by factors beyond the District’s control.
Some projects throughout the District, such as fields, may be undertaken as joint use
projects in cooperation with other local public or non-profit agencies if State matching
funds are received. The final cost of each project will be determined as plans and
construction documents are finalized, construction bids are received, construction
contracts are awarded and projects are completed. Based on the final costs of
each project, certain of the projects described above may be delayed or may not be
completed. Demolition of existing facilities and reconstruction of facilities scheduled
for repair and upgrade may occur, if the Board determines that such an approach

ARGUMENT IN FAVOR OF MEASURE M
Our schools are the most important assets in our community and should be our
number one priority. Quality schools improve student achievement, improve property
values, prepare children for a productive future, and create greater neighborhood
safety. Our teachers and staff do a great job educating local children, but classrooms
and buildings in the Lone Pine Unified School District need to be upgraded to provide
students with the school facilities they need to succeed.
While our facilities have been well maintained, outdated classrooms must be upgraded.
A local school improvement measure would allow the District to improve the quality
of the school facilities and education provided to local students. By investing in our
schools, we can meet today’s safety, technological, and educational standards as well
as better our community.
If passed, Measure M will provide funding to make critical facility improvements

to Lone Pine schools, including:
• Repairing or replacing outdated heating, ventilation and air-conditioning

systems
• Modernizing outdated classrooms, restrooms and school facilities
