Why I’m Running


I am ready to be the governor who tackles the affordability crisis in California to lift millions of Californians and their families into the middle class.

I will work with urgency to address the climate crisis, involving environmental justice communities bearing the most disproportionate burdens to make sure they are not left behind.

I will bring accountable, transparent leadership to Sacramento. Many Californians have lost faith in our state government’s ability to be responsive and deliver results. We must repair that trust.

I will uplift all communities in California, understanding we can solve our challenges most effectively with the lived experiences of Californians throughout the state informing our solutions. I will defend our essential freedoms — including our reproductive freedom, freedom to live in safe communities, and freedom to make a good living.
