Funded & in effect: Proposition 13 approved Nov 4, 2025. Article 1 took effect on the official canvass.
Linked bills: SB 4 (89R)
Why Kept: Alders's campaign priorities page pledged to cut government waste and evaluate the budget aggressively. On Oct 2, 2024, KLTV reported that his priorities if elected included reforming property taxes. He is listed as a House cosponsor of SB 4 (89R), which increased the school-district residence-homestead exemption, contingent on SJR 2 / Proposition 13, which voters approved Nov 4, 2025, raising the exemption to $140,000. This is a delivered piece of tax relief, not a complete overhaul of every tax. (smith-research, 2026-11-10 15:40:45 UTC)
