Elizabeth Iacovelli for Myself Salem As a driver, I feel safer knowing that one’s license plate number is clearly visible on both the front and back of the car. In the event of an accident, especially a hit and run, there are more opportunities to find the license plate of the offender. | Salem | Oppose | 250 | Jan 13, 2026 | |
Roy Schweiker for Myself Concord A front plate makes it much easier to identify vehicles, and at an initial cost of $10 or so and $1 a year for a sticker is not an unreasonable requirement. | Concord | Oppose | 160 | Jan 13, 2026 | |
