CalChamber files nearly 1 million signatures for a rival November ballot measure
Issue
A CalChamber-led business coalition submitted nearly 1 million signatures on April 27, 2026 for its Affordable California ballot measure. It answers SEIU-UHW's 90% patient-care spending measure, which filed 1.4 million signatures on April 3.
The signature-count deadline was June 25, 2026, and both could appear on the November ballot.
