By erasing scientific facts and hamstringing the EPA's regulatory power, Trump is giving corporate polluters free rein. And right here in the race for governor, one of my opponents has spent a career profiting from the very industries who stand to benefit!

Every other major candidate in this race is relying on big money interests who buy access to power. I think democracy shouldn’t be for sale, and as Governor, I won't be either.

If Kaiser cares about patients, they need to care about the people who treat them.

They say they’re saving $66 billion for a rainy day. Look outside: it’s raining.

A big milestone! The mini-van just hit 175,000 miles — and we’ve got many more to add talking to workers across the state.

Proud of educators in San Francisco who are taking a stand for what they deserve — fair wages, good benefits, and more investment in our classrooms.

Donald Trump is systematically gutting public health funding for Californians—just because we didn't vote for him. It's pathetic and unbecoming of a leader. Our next governor needs to be a fighter who is unafraid to dish it back at Trump and protect these essential programs.

Huge news: @UAW is in Katie’s corner! From the picket line to the Governor’s office, Katie has always stood with labor.

We’re leaving $1.6 trillion on the table, California.

Our democracy is under attack — from Donald Trump, billionaires, and special interests. Katie Porter is the fighter California needs as our next Governor, and Team Katie is ready to help her win. 💪

Working parents who sprint home to pick up the kids because they can't afford a sitter often don’t have time to attend a town hall or research a bill. They just want a Governor they can count on. I hear you. I see you. And I will fight to make your voice heard as Governor.

America is at a cultural tipping point. While the world watches the game, California is making sure the message is heard loud and clear: It’s time to get ICE out of our communities.

A Super Bowl PSA: In California, our immigrant neighbors (and all Bad Bunny fans) are welcome. Armed, untrained federal agents harassing, kidnapping, and hurting innocent people are not. We need ICE out of California, we need accountability, and we need to abolish ICE.

I ran for Congress backing Medicare for All in a red seat because I believe that's achievable at the federal level—and I won. When I'm Governor, I'll fight to lower health care costs for California—including, when Trump is no longer president, moving to single payer.

Our global competitors smile when we look backward on energy. Why? Because they know the future of manufacturing belongs to the nations that lead in clean energy. We can’t afford to be left behind.

Safety isn’t a ‘citizenship-only’ perk. Everyone means everyone. If our neighbors aren’t safe, none of us are.

"I want to drive housing prices up," says the guy whose own real estate genius led to six bankruptcies.

Armed ICE agents and soldiers at the polls are nothing more than another effort by Trump to intimidate voters and steal elections. Hear this, Donald Trump and Steve Bannon: California will never back down from defending our democracy.

When Donald Trump messes with our democracy, Californians fight back—and win.

California's economy is one of the largest and richest in the world, but working families and educators like Kelsey aren't feeling it. We’ve spent enough time talking about the problems; it’s time we elect someone who will actually solve them.

I’ve always stood with organized labor, and I’m so proud to have earned the trust and endorsement of the @teamsters.bsky.social in this race. Together, we will hold corporations accountable and ensure the workers on every shift get the respect they deserve.

Californians deserve a Governor who works for the people, not the billionaires.

By the time families get off years-long waiting lists for affordable child care, their children are often already in school. Child care is an investment in our families and our economy. California can't afford to turn back the progress we've made—and as Governor I won't.

Just days ago, federal agents raided the home of a @washingtonpost.com reporter. Now, Donald Trump's administration ordered the arrest of journalists Don Lemon and Georgia Fort. Censoring the press is the first step towards controlling the people. We must defend our democracy.

Nursing is a calling, but it shouldn't be a sacrifice of one's own future. To keep more nurses in this state, the solution is simple: Pay them what they deserve and protect the pensions that allow them to retire with dignity after a career of keeping us healthy.

Proud to stand with UNAC nurses on the picket line today. Our nurses work long hours to save lives and keep patients healthy—they deserve a fair contract that reflects their work.

Honored to have the support of IBEW Local 441. Electricians know our next Governor needs the energy and backbone to stand up for working families and fight for lower costs across California. Proud to have them join our growing coalition of labor and grassroots support.

If you are not willing to stand up to keep people safe, you have no business running for Governor.

When someone is dealing with a mental health crisis or substance abuse, they don’t need a weapon in their face. They need care. In Congress, I fought to pass my Mental Health Justice Act. As Governor, I will keep prioritizing care & support—not jail time—for people who need it.

I had a blast at the CA Professional Scientists Town Hall. You all don’t just ask questions, you bring the data! The relationship between the Governor and CAPS must be a partnership. When I have questions about the science of our water or our climate, I’m not calling a lobbyist—I’m calling you.

We want a global competitive edge. We want advanced tech talent. But we aren’t investing in the one thing that keeps that talent in the workforce: Child care.

Let’s invest in our future, not just talk about it.

It was great to meet with the voters of Folsom to talk about the future of our state. We aren’t just fighting back against what’s coming from DC—we are building a California where our best days are ahead of us. Let’s take this energy and build it into a movement they can’t ignore.

Alex Pretti spent his days caring for veterans as a nurse. And he died trying to protect his neighbors. Federal agents—funded by our tax dollars—murdered him. Americans deserve accountability. Congress exists to put checks and balances on the president. It’s long past time to act like it.

Untrained, violent federal agents are invading our communities, violating the law, and killing innocent Americans. ICE must be held accountable for this reign of terror, starting with an immediate withdrawal from MN. Congress should do their jobs & withhold every cent of funding until they’re gone.

California has a long, proud history of protecting its resources. But right now, the federal government is trying to handcuff our state agencies and strip away our ability to safeguard our own waters. In Congress, I stood up to Big Oil and won. Together, we'll do it again.

Ten days on the line and 15,000 strong. The NYC nursing strike is a wake-up call for the healthcare industry nationwide. In California, we are organizing for a future that values care over capital. Keep fighting, nurses of New York—the West Coast is with you!

As a single mom, I know that every dollar has a story. Trump’s story is about self-enrichment and foreign jets. My story is about the people of California. I’m the ONLY candidate in this race who refuses corporate PAC money because I’ll only ever work for you.

It was a joy to join over 900 volunteers to pack meals and support our California families. Service is the backbone of our state, and my morning with cap_oc reminded me why I’m so proud to call California home.

Real toughness isn’t rhetoric; it’s refusing to back down when lobbyists and the billionaire class come knocking. I’ve seen @mikiesherrill.bsky.social’s tenacity in the House. She doesn’t back down from a bully, and she won’t back down for New Jersey. Congratulations, Madam Governor!

Today, we remember Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s legacy, his commitment to service, and his unrelenting fight for a more just nation. Some of my campaign team and I joined the OC Food Bank this morning for a day of service in his honor, working to pack meals for Californians in need. #MLKDay

Child care isn’t just an investment in our families, it’s an investment in our economy too. Donald Trump’s wrong-headed attacks on child care will disproportionately hurt women and low-income families. It’s a story we’ve seen over and over again, but it ends when I’m Governor.

California’s School for the Deaf is an internationally renowned institution, yet the Bay Area’s soaring cost of living is creating a crisis for enrollment and staffing. Unaffordability is a strain on the entire community—from the @seiu1000.bsky.social staff to the families they educate.

Congratulations to my friend and former colleague, @abigailspanberger.com on her historic inauguration as Virginia’s 75th Governor. I’m so proud to call Abigail a friend, and I can’t wait to see the good she will do for working families across Virginia.

Some districts spend more money checking if a child "deserves" a meal than they would just feeding every student. Universal school meals are about more than compassion, they're about common-sense administration that saves taxpayers money.

Yet more evidence that the Trump Administration believes that corporate profits are more important than American lives. When I’m Governor, I’ll have four words for Donald Trump: not on my watch.

From Minneapolis to California, it’s time we demand an end to cooperation with these federal agencies. It doesn’t matter where you come from — we are all Californians. We cannot stand by while unconstitutional, unlawful, and immoral activity takes place in our backyard.

I’m not running to be Governor OF California, I’m running to be a Governor FOR Californians—and SEIU workers will be close partners in our fight for a more affordable future. Thank you, SEIU USWW for sharing your stories today.

Mayor Mamdani and Governor Hochul are showing us exactly what leadership looks like. While the federal government tries to freeze progress, NY is stepping up to fund child care for 2-year-olds. California needs to follow this lead and treat care as the essential infrastructure it is.

Addressing California's wildfires takes boots on the ground. It takes workers. But whenever there’s a budget deficit, the first thing on the chopping block is government worker salaries. We cannot protect the land by devaluing the people who save it.
