Teamsters, labor unions back him. Endorsed by Jasmine Crockett, Katie Porter, Kamala Harris and Gavin Newsom.

Regarding homelessness: From day one, I will declare a housing emergency, direct agencies to eliminate process barriers, and launch public outcomes dashboards so Californians can see exactly where their money is going and what it is producing. No blank checks. Every dollar tied to results. Programs that fail will be defunded; programs that work will be scaled.

Prevention is not a secondary strategy; it is the smartest investment this state can make. A few hundred dollars in rental assistance at the right moment can prevent homelessness and save tens of thousands in emergency response costs.
