Even if there were other options, besides Bonta, he would still be my first choice. He has been absolutely incredible and we are so lucky to have him.

Rob Bonta has done a great job as Attorney General, finally going after cities, working with the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) to force cities to approve plans for more homes and come into compliance with new state laws to encourage housing production authored by GOATed State Senator Scott Wiener. He will win reelection handily as the only Democrat running.

Rob Bonta has been an effective Attorney General, and we're happy to endorse him for another term.

For San Francisco voters, Bonta's most important work has been on housing. He co-sponsored SB 1037 (https://oag.ca.gov/news/press-releases/attorney-general-bonta-issues-legal-alert-legislation-authorizing-new-civil) with Scott Wiener, which gave the AG's office real teeth to fine cities that block housing — and he has used them. His office has forced compliance from cities (https://oag.ca.gov/news/press-releases/attorney-general-bonta-newsom-administration-reach-settlement-city-norwalk-over) across California that were illegally stalling housing plans, including settlements with Fullerton, Norwalk, Elk Grove, and Huntington Beach. When the city of Woodside tried to claim it was a cougar habitat to dodge SB 9, Bonta shut it down. Every home that gets built because a NIMBY city was forced to follow the law makes San Francisco's regional housing market a little less insane.

He's also gone after anticompetitive behavior in the rental market. His office got a $7M settlement from Greystar (https://oag.ca.gov/news/press-releases/attorney-general-bonta-announces-7-million-settlement-greystar-participating), the nation's largest landlord, for using software to coordinate rent prices with competitors — basically a cartel run through an algorithm. That kind of enforcement matters to every renter in the Bay Area.

Bonta has also been active defending California against the Trump administration, filing over 50 lawsuits on issues from immigration to environmental protections.
