We’re building this campaign the right way–with grassroots donations from people who believe that California deserves a governor who is fighting for working families and making this state more affordable for everyone. Can you chip in a few bucks ahead of our end-of-year deadline?

Due process is a fundamental right in the United States, yet Donald Trump is undermining it at every opportunity. Dismantling our immigration courts and firing judges who refuse to do Trump’s bidding puts immigrants at risk and decimates due process. It must stop. www.latimes.com/world-nation...

From my family to yours, Merry Christmas! I hope you enjoy a holiday filled with joy, laughter, and time with loved ones.

Stay safe while traveling this holiday season, California—especially in recent burn areas. Follow California Governor's Office of Emergency Services for updates and sign up for alerts at ready.ca.gov. www.ktvu.com/news/gov-new...

It was such a treat to slow down for a moment and share some holiday cheer with the workers who keep Orange County running. Happy holidays to all!

Donald Trump’s tariffs are a tax on Christmas. A $5 wholesale ornament jumps to $6.50. A $9.99 item becomes $13.00. That’s a huge difference for families just barely getting by. Trump is making our cost crisis even worse—and it has to stop.

PG&E’s outage in San Francisco over the weekend was unacceptable. Energy is an essential resource and utilities should work in the public interest—not to pad their bottom line by raising rates and neglecting faulty infrastructure.

Is President Trump the new Scrooge? When you add a 30% tax to the cost of Christmas, you’re not just taxing goods, you’re taxing family traditions.  Higher prices under the tree means a direct hit to the holiday spirit for American families and small businesses.

A quick break from the campaign trail for the pool! Grateful for some family time watching Betsy play. Back to the trail soon but first — Go Betsy!

Workers are paying more for health insurance than ever before, but can't even get appointments. Deductibles are often hard to reach, and Donald Trump is letting premiums double for millions. We need to lower health care costs so that every Californian has the coverage and care they need.

Housing costs a lot in California—and that’s made our homelessness crisis one of the worst in the nation. As we work to bring down costs, investing in interim housing like Cherry Hill—and the ongoing services residents need—is critical to solving unsheltered homelessness.

Donald Trump’s attacks on free speech are attacks on our democracy—and it’s shameful that KCBS apparently bent the knee and censured journalists to appease Trump. I will never back down when it comes to calling out Donald Trump’s harmful agenda that is hurting Californians and our families.

How sick do you have to be to post something like this? What a disgusting and abhorrent response to the awful killing of Rob and Michele last night. Thinking of their loved ones during this horrific time.

For too long, our country has expected care to happen for free or for pennies on the dollar. That is morally wrong and economically stupid. Investing in care is a strategic move to grow our population and economy. It’s time we change how we value our care providers.

As families gather across the country to celebrate the first night of Hanukkah, a holiday filled with light and joy, many are grappling with the horrific antisemitic attack in Australia. (1/2)

Let's talk taxes. California’s budget instability is like a rollercoaster, and it's driven by worsening wealth inequality. We can afford to make the investments we need in our state—we just have to bring down costs, make smart budget decisions, and grow our economy.

A huge thank you to Mayor Matt Mahan for a tour of the Cherry Avenue interim housing community. San Jose is proof: unsheltered homelessness IS solvable. We can replicate this success statewide.

If we had more moms in charge, you can bet life would already be more affordable in California—from child care to health care to housing. I’m running for Governor to shake up the status quo in Sacramento that has left too many families and women behind.

California doesn’t need talking points on affordability from a billionaire. We need leaders who actually understand the cost crisis our families are facing. Fighting inequality makes our economy stronger. When I’m Governor, my focus will be on bringing down costs and growing our state.

When I asked Chase CEO Jamie Dimon how a minimum wage worker could make ends meet, he said “I don’t know.”

When I led California’s response to the foreclosure crisis, homes weren’t saved just because a settlement agreement existed. It was the tireless work from my team on the ground.

My message to California county leaders yesterday: I will be your partner to build more housing and grow our economy—and I’ll be your warrior against Donald Trump’s gutting of Medi-Cal, CalFresh, and emergency disaster aid.

Birthright citizenship is literally written into the Constitution. There is no debate to be had: if you are born here, you are a citizen. Neither Donald Trump nor his handpicked Supreme Court can change that. apnews.com/article/supr...

We always find money for "hard infrastructure"—bridges and roads—and those matter. But so does CARE. It's time to stop letting child care and elder care be the first thing cut. Investing in care is investing in a growing CA economy.

When I first ran for Congress and made housing part of my campaign, people told me: "Housing isn’t the government's problem." Bullshit. High costs and homelessness aren't inevitable. They are a direct result of our policy choices. Let's build more, and build fast.

Cynthia not only lovingly cares for her daughter and sister, she fights for a better future for caregivers and their loved ones. Home care workers are not a budget number — they’re real people. Their work deserves our respect and support.

My campaign isn’t like the others—I’m not taking a cent from corporate donors. Tonight, I’m hosting a Zoom to thank our grassroots team and to answer your questions and share my vision for a more affordable California. Chip in any amount now to RSVP and join: secure.actblue.com/donate/grass...

Our students are California’s future—our nurses, engineers, scientists, teachers, and more. UC-Merced students recently shared their thoughts with me on our state’s direction and how Donald Trump’s decisions are hurting their classmates and campus.

California is a hub for entrepreneurs and innovation, especially for the small businesses who employ more than 7 million Californians. Their success and the success of our economy, workers, families, and state go hand-in-hand.

From my family to yours, Happy Thanksgiving! 🦃 This year, I’m so grateful to be celebrating Thanksgiving with my dad after his 10 months of cancer treatment. Wishing you and your loved ones a day filled with gratitude and joy.

California is in a cost crisis. In the Inland Empire, and across the state, people are barely making ends meet. Making California more affordable is my top priority as Governor.

We know Donald Trump has already issued illegal orders to the military — including right here in California when he unlawfully sent troops into Los Angeles. Senator @captmarkkelly.bsky.social is a patriot, and I stand with him to defend our Constitution in the face of these authoritarian attacks.

Farmworkers are some of the hardest working people in California—but Donald Trump has declared war on their livelihoods. Today UFW farmworkers and I talked about how we will fight back and make sure every worker is safe on their job and gets paid a fair wage.

The time for patience is over. When I’m Governor, there won’t be any more waiting to make the investments care workers deserve. I’ll get it done.

GOP Congressmen: “Cheap solar energy for me—but not for thee.” This is shameful. Attacks on clean energy projects by Trump and his cronies in Congress—like Rep. Ken Calvert—are raising electricity costs for working families. www.politico.com/news/2025/11...

A new billionaire in our race claims he'll fight the very industries he got rich helping grow — fossil fuel companies, tobacco, and private immigration detention facilities — at great cost to Californians. I call bullshit.

The House just voted to finally release the Epstein files. This is long overdue and would not have happened without @rokhanna.bsky.social & @robertgarcia.bsky.social who led the charge for transparency & justice in the face of relentless opposition—exactly the courage we need more of in Washington.

There are more than 100 federally-recognized tribal nations in California and I’ve had the honor of working with many over the past few years—including several during this campaign.

Slowing down housing construction, especially near transit, is the opposite of what California needs to solve our cost crisis. Leadership means doing the right thing for our state and our families — and as Governor I won’t hesitate to build more housing and bring down costs.

Standing up to Donald Trump and lowering costs for Californians aren’t two different things — they’re one and the same. After this year’s election, it’s clear California wants a fighter as Governor.

I’m honored to earn Fund Her’s endorsement in this race. As a single mom of three kids, I understand how families are struggling to afford the cost of housing, child care, healthcare, & groceries. I’ll bring fresh ideas, new leadership, and the grit we need to deliver lower costs for Californians.

More proof that Sean Duffy lied when he said Trump was canceling private flights at the same rate as commercial ones. A new report shows that private jet travel saw massive increases as thousands of commercial flights were being canceled.

Donald Trump wants to allow new oil wells off California’s coast for the first time since 1984. I have two words for him: Hell. No.

This #VeteransDay, I want to thank the 1.8 million brave Californians who served our country — and I want to commit to action. As Governor, I’ll support our veterans by delivering the lower costs, housing, health care, and education they deserve.

JUST IN: Trump CAVES after we called him out for letting billionaires keep their private jets flying while thousands of commercial flights are canceled. Yesterday, Secretary Sean Duffy couldn’t answer a simple question from Fox News—and now they’re banning private jets from 12 major airports. (1/5)

Trump has no problem creating chaos and pain for Americans until he gets his way. Democrats need to use our power, just like we did on Election Day last week, to deliver for Americans.

Trump lackey Sean Duffy is squirming. After our video, Fox News (of all places) asked Duffy to defend why billionaire private jets are still flying while Trump is canceling commercial airlines.

NEW: I’m calling on Trump to cancel private jet flights instead of commercial airlines. Private jet flights often take a single billionaire passenger, but still put real strain on our air traffic control system.

Speaker Pelosi’s storied career is unmatched in the halls of Congress. She is a trailblazer and a fighter, with a love for children that motivated her to build a better future for every American.

Nothing is stronger than the power of democracy—not even a wannabe dictator. Last night, Californians showed we’re ready to stand up to Donald Trump—and we aren’t slowing down.
