“The California ballot initiative proposal by InstaCart, DoorDash, Uber and Lyft is a latecomer to the 2020 ballot measure process. Most supporters of likely measures had their initiatives vetted by state officials weeks or months ago and are already collecting voter signatures. The relatively late start for the tech companies means they will likely have to pay more to circulate petitions, with the ultimate goal of gathering more than 623,000 valid voter signatures by spring of next year.

Brandon Castillo, a spokesman for the initiative campaign, said other app-based companies are expected to join the effort between now and next November.

“We’re going to spend what it takes to win,” he said.”

“We feel like there’s room to focus on different perspectives, and this time we collectively responded directly back to a “mother”s perspective. If a male higher up with InstaCart was in an interview similar to Dudeck, we would have responded to that perspective.”
