Protect Fairfield’s Essential Services
VOTE YES ON MEASURE P
Measure P is not a new name in Fairfield
Fairfield voters first approved Measure P in 2012 and renewed it in 2016. The existing measure provides locally controlled revenue for services including:
Police protection and neighborhood patrols
Fire protection and emergency medical response
911 emergency response
Street maintenance and pothole repair
Homeless outreach and intervention
Park maintenance and recreation service
The November 2026 proposal would extend the existing measure and increase the local sales tax by one cent per dollar until ended by voters.
Fairfield voters will determine whether to approve the proposal.
Fairfield Has Done Its Part — Now We Must Protect Our Community
Frozen positions to keep administrative costs down.
cut operational expenses across all departments.
Withheld pay raises for City employees for past two years.
Despite these aggressive internal rollbacks, the math doesn't add up. Fairfield cannot cut its way out of a $12 million gap without directly hurting the community. Without additional revenue from an update to Measure P the City will be forced to reduce critical services.
What’s at Risk?
If Measure P fails, a $12 million deficit means difficult decisions to reduce services across our city. Options Include:
Public Safety
Employee layoffs will result in a direct reduction in neighborhood police patrols and rolling brownouts to local fire stations, threatening 9-1-1 response times.
Parks & Youth
Decreases in maintenance that may result in closure of some neighborhood parks. At risk are also vital youth programs and senior enrichment services.
Infrastructure
More reductions to roadway maintenance, limiting pothole repairs and letting our local streets deteriorate.
The Solution: Vote YES on Measure P
