YES on Proposition 37 (2026)
The California State Commanders Veterans Council supports Proposition 37 because addressing California’s housing shortage is critical to making the state more affordable for veterans and their families. While veterans already have access to programs that can help finance a home purchase, those programs cannot solve the underlying shortage of homes. Proposition 37 is focused on new construction, helping increase the overall housing supply and address the high housing costs affecting veterans, their families and Californians across the state.

NO on Proposition 40 (2026)
The California State Commanders Veterans Council opposes Prop 40 because of concerns about its impact on California’s economy and the funding veterans and their families rely on, including healthcare, public safety and other essential services. The Council is also concerned that the measure could open the door to future taxes on retirement savings, personal savings and home equity — issues that directly affect veterans who have spent a lifetime building financial security. The measure would also direct billions of dollars to health insurance companies without requiring lower healthcare costs. These concerns are why the Council has joined teachers, doctors, firefighters, healthcare providers and taxpayer advocates in opposing Prop 40.

YES on Proposition 42 (2026)
The California State Commanders Veterans Council supports Prop 42 because veterans who have spent a lifetime serving our country and saving for retirement should be able to protect what they’ve earned. Prop 42 prevents new state taxes on retirement accounts, life savings and other personal property, protecting the financial security veterans and their families have worked for decades to build. The Council joins retirees, blue-collar workers, public safety, seniors, small businesses and taxpayers in supporting Prop 42.
