and across the nation. While some races have been called, others are too close and will not be finalized until results are certified April 12. California’s only proposition on the primary ballot and a priority for the Newsom administration, Proposition 1, has not been called yet. However, opposition to the proposition has indicated they believe it will pass. What is certain, though, is that this begins the race to November 5.

Thank you!
The Almond Alliance Convention is being held on April 22-25 and is designed to provide education and inspiration. Members will take a comprehensive journey through the What, How, Who, and Why of the Almond Alliance’s rapid expansion and growth as a national trade organization and the results delivered that have become the foundation for what is to come. “ Breaking Out of the Shell ” is welcoming back some of the greatest industry assets, including Stacey Henderson of Henderson & Hatfield for the latest in state and federal labor law and a favorite economist, Matt Clark of Terrain, for key industry insights. Keynote Speaker Marion Tupy will share his controversial and counterintuitive examination of why population growth and freedom to innovate make earth’s resources more, not less, abundant.
