I didn’t come from money, power, or influence. I'm running for Governor to be a voice for those who need one — because California may be working for millionaires and billionaires but for the rest of California — we need real change. Join us: https://t.co/lNHuSoTzZO

As we continue to see a rise in Antisemitism and other acts of hate and extremism, I am outraged and saddened by the mass shooting that occurred at a Hanukkah celebration at Bondi Beach in Australia. Sending prayers and condolences for the victims and their families. We must

Deeply saddened for the victims and families of the mass shooting at Brown University. Our nation must do more to limit access to high powered weapons and to expand mental health programs. Continuing to work with schools to secure funding they can use for technology to detect

BREAKING: MAGA candidate pitches the biggest ‘defund the police’ plan in state history. CA’s income tax brings in ~ 60% of revenue. Cut it, and you cut funding for police, firefighters, and schools. No word yet on whether Chad’s read a budget before.
It's time to end state income tax. Tax payers shouldn't be carrying the burden for Sacramento's special interests.

Tom, you want to build 1 million homes, I want to build 2 million homes. Shall we debate both plans? Name the place/time and I'm in. Unless you're chicken?
To really bring down costs, we need to build more housing – a LOT more. I’m talking about the largest effort in state history to build homes that California families can actually afford. A million homes over 4 years. We can do that.

🚨🚨In one of the first polls w/ the newest entrants, it’s clear that my plan to raise taxes on mega-millionaires and billionaires to pay for public services like universal healthcare and public schools, childcare, firefighting, higher education and more — resonates with voters.

I’m Tony Thurmond and as California’s next Governor, I’m done letting billionaires skate by while working families get crushed. If you’re sitting on $100 million or more, you can finally pay your fair share. We’re leveling the damn playing field for every hardworking Californian.

It's hilarious that these Republicans don't seem to realize they're actually in power in D.C. right now. Complete one-party rule. Now they say the answer to the problems THEY CREATED is for them to control California as well. Don’t worry Steve, if you’re not worth $100 million
It's hilarious that these Democrats don't seem to realize they're actually in power in California right now. 15 years of one party rule. Now they say the answer to the problems THEY CREATED is more of the EXACT SAME POLICIES. Truly insane. We will kick them out next year. ✊

Was great to attend the Green Schools Conference where we talked about our efforts to help schools with climate smart investment for renewable energy, energy efficient buildings, and infrastructure to protect against wildfire. We provide grants to schools to help students become

The saga with SNAP continues to unfold. This week at our press conference we put out a call to the Trump Administration to immediately approve flexibility in the school meals program administered by the USDA and through California schools. We intend to provide grab and go take

On this Veteran’s Day I wish to express my deep gratitude to the women and men of the military who have served our nation and to those who serve it now. With a father who served in Vietnam (my siblings and I were all born at Fort Ord Army base) and several relatives who have
