Our Community

Our Voice.

For over 20 years, Dorado Home Furniture has proudly served the San Fernando community. We are a family-owned, Latino-owned business that has grown alongside the families who live and work here.


We believe a strong community starts with access to information. This post is meant to share clear, non-partisan resources about the upcoming 2026 elections — including key dates, how to register, and where to find reliable information about what’s on the ballot.


Our goal is not to tell anyone how to vote, but to help ensure you know what you’re voting on and how to participate.



What’s Typically on the Ballot


In California midterm elections, voters may be asked to make decisions at several levels of government. These often include


  • Local officials

    who influence decisions affecting cities, schools, and county services

  • Ballot measures

    which may address issues like housing, public safety, education funding, taxes, and local infrastructure

  • Federal

    such as members of the U.S. House of Representatives and, when applicable, U.S. Senate seats

  • State leadership

    including state legislators who help shape laws and statewide policy

These decisions often shape local priorities and services that directly affect families and neighborhoods across San Fernando.
