Janelle Kellman: small business owner, community leader and climate risk expert - will lead on the changes we want now - building a strong economy with a resilient environment. We can change things together. #California #CostOfLiving #NewLeadership #jkforltg

Pragmatism doesn’t mean capitulation. Elected leaders still have to get things done. We need new leaders in the Democratic Party. Leaders who focus on cost of living, housing, healthcare, higher education, cleaning up our streets, opening new opportunities for people to succeed on their own merits.

I am so grateful to our millions of veterans and service members. They exemplify what is best about America. Putting service above self, these incredible men and women continue to innovative while providing us with the highest level of security. Happy #VeteransDay #Leadership #heroes #jkforltg

Recently I visited this gorgeous overlook of the Eel River. CA’s third-largest river, it's a critical habitat for salmon & steelhead, a provider of recreational whitewater rafting & fishing, and a culturally significant water source for Native American tribes. #voteoutdoors #kellmanforltg #jkforltg

I'll be speaking at THREE Climate Events over the next week, and you're invited! Wed. Oct. 29 - 1:15-3:00pm State of the San Francisco Estuary Conf. Oakland Scottish Rite Center, 1547 Lakeside Dr, Oakland "Bringing Resilience Home: Global & National Adaptation Strategies Envisioned in our Estuary"

Up in the Sierras of Nevada City for this house party, I was energized by the discussion on wildfire insurance, community colleges, healthcare and more. Plus, I do love that the fresh mountain air! Many thanks to Erika and Bryan for hosting. #kellmanforltg #jkforltg #pocketpresence #newleadership

What a beautiful house party in Irvine. Thank you so much Marni and Jacque for hosting! #kellmanforltg

Fantastic event last night with the LA Democratic Party! Ran into my LA friends, plus LA Sheriff Robert Luna, Al Muratsuchi, candidate for Superintendent of Public Instr. & current Superintendent Tony Thurmond, now running for Governor. Thank you to Hans for walking me around! #LaDems #KellmanForLTG

Even in California's smallest beach towns like Stinson Beach, proud Americans rallied to shout "No Kings" here! Power to the Amazing People! #NoKings #Yeson50

Such a cool afternoon recording a Facebook live with my buddy Neil at the iconic Santa Cruz Boardroom and getting to see my dear friend, former Mayor of Santa Cruz, Hilary Bryant - huge thanks to you both for a great afternoon! 🤙🏽🙌💯 #california #santacruz #jkforltg #skateboarding #skatelife

MSNBC & Reuters reported that Trump’s “Border Czar,” Tom Homan, was investigated for accepting $50,000 from undercover FBI agents. The same man harassing families in CA is still working for Trump. We deserve answers and accountability. Tom Homan should either resign or be fired.

As we welcome the new year, I’m inspired by Rabbi Hillel’s words: “If not now, when?” May we recommit to tikkun olam—repairing the world together. Wishing you joy, health & renewal. L’shana tovah!

I was so honored to join Legal Aid of Marin's fundraiser last night. Now, more people than ever are on the front lines of their communities, fighting for one another, protecting one another. This is where it starts. And this is how we are going to stick together.

The First Amendment guarantees freedom of speech. We’re watching in real time as the administration silences voices that dare to speak against him. This isn't the America that I believe in, that I've spent my life working to serve. We must stand together and defend our rights.

Today we remember 9/11. I still recall watching the news in horror, reaching out to friends and family on the East Coast with disbelief. We honor the lives lost, the heroes who ran toward danger, and their courage in the face of tragedy. May we never forget. May their memories be a blessing.

Real change starts in our own communities- that’s why I’ve taken the time to volunteer on my city’s disaster preparedness committee!

California is too damn expensive. So frustrating. Let’s fix it. 💪 ✅ Fair insurance coverage for all ✅ Lower college costs ✅ Jobs you can live on ✅ A California you can afford Let’s actually make it happen. #ACaliforniaYouCanAfford #LowerTheBills #JobsYouCanLiveOn #JanelleForCA

Devastated by the loss in Texas. Over 100 lives gone — parents, children, neighbors. Trump weakened the agencies meant to protect us, now we pay the price. Tragically.

Who else is tracking the next big financial crisis? Wildfires, floods, extreme heat… www.ft.com/content/9e5d...

Six months ago, the Palisades Fire tore through our community — homes lost, families shaken, lives changed. 💔 Wildfire season is faster, and more dangerous than ever. We owe it to every family to act — prevention, resilience, real solutions. #WildfireResilience #PalisadesFire #California

If you’re feeling uneasy about where we are — you're not alone. I am too. The truth is: California’s future depends on whether we can prove that leadership rooted in measurable outcomes, real innovation, and hard work can overcome cynicism and broken promises. We must step up and meet the moment.

Today we traveled by boat along the Klamath River, stopping at sacred sites, old-growth redwoods, and villages along the way. These lands carry deep history and even deeper resilience. Yurok Tribe leadership made this dam removal possible, and now they’re shaping a more just and sustainable future.

Today, we began our journey in Yreka and visited the Iron Gate and Copco dam removal sites — the largest dam removal project in U.S. history and proof that when California leads boldly, we can tackle even the most complex infrastructure challenges.

Earth Day is a reminder that we don’t have time for half-measures. Heatwaves are intensifying, wildfires are more devastating, and droughts are pushing our communities to the brink. We cannot wait for Washington to act — California must lead. Not with lofty promises, but with bold action.

Happy Earth Day! We are honoring this day by heading to Yreka for the start of our four-day journey through Northern California. This trip is a firsthand look at how bold infrastructure projects can revive ecosystems, create jobs, and empower local communities.

To every immigrant feeling unsafe right now, know that California STANDS WITH YOU. We proudly welcome all who seek a better future and are ready to contribute to our great state. Together, we won’t just endure the Trump era — we’ll rise, rebuild, and thrive.

Not only is this administration defying a Supreme Court order to bring back Kilmar Abrego Garcia — but they seem to take a sick pride in the pain they're causing. Make no mistake, this is what authoritarianism looks like.

Democrats face a defining moment: reclaim our legacy as the party of the working class and bold progress, or let opportunists fill the void. The energy for change right now is undeniable. We must rise to meet the moment. Join our movement to do just that: janellekellman.com

Governor Newsom just announced a lawsuit challenging Trump’s authority to impose tariffs without Congressional approval. Every Democratic governor in the nation should join him immediately. If Democratic leaders won’t stand up to Trump now, when he's draining billions from our economy, then when?

Trump is gutting public health funding! $1 billion slashed from agencies fighting diseases like COVID, bird flu & measles. California must use every resource at our disposal to fight back against Trump and protect our communities. www.latimes.com/politics/sto...

California should be the shining example of what Democratic leadership can achieve. But how can we be the party of working families when so many can’t afford to live here? This is a failure of leadership. As Lt. Governor, I’ll fight to make California affordable for all!

Trump's reckless tariffs are devastating California's businesses, communities, & working families. As Lt. Governor, I can and will join @gavinnewsom.bsky.social in bypassing Trump's disastrous tariffs to rebuild our trade partnerships and make our state a haven for global trade in the U.S.

When local leaders step up to endorse a candidate, it means something. These aren’t politicians playing games. They’re public servants on the ground, solving real problems in their communities every day. And they know I’m the one who will deliver.

Donald Trump again mocked our golden state, California, this time about education. I'm running for Lieutenant Governor, and I'm going to fight like hell to protect California’s education funding no matter what chaos happens in Washington.

The lives of our men and women in uniform were put in danger by the reckless way our highest officials coordinated the attack in Yemen on a group chat on Signal. Peter Hegseth sharing classified information should disqualify him, and he must resign now.

Democrats are at a crossroads. They can either return to their roots as the party of Roosevelt, labor, and the working class, or they can cede power to demagogues. The movement is here; people are hungry for change. The question is whether the leaders will listen.

Trump’s executive order regarding the Department of Education is ridiculous. Education should be about empowering our youth, not pushing political agendas that prioritize division over learning.

Trump’s tariffs are projected to raise the cost of building a single-family home in the U.S. by $7,500 to $10,000. That’s a direct blow to every single person in California who lost their homes in the fires, so many of whom weren't prepared due to insurance companies and their immoral decisions.

I started my journey as an environmental lawyer, and I know that we need both agencies, the Forest Service and the National Park Service, to be fully staffed and funded. Their employees are land management experts that keep our water cleaner, and our cost of living lower.

Sen. Ruben Gallego is right. This isn’t a time for Democrats to panic. It’s a time to back pragmatic policies and widen our base. Gallego considers issues one at a time. Let’s grow a backbone and dare to find bold solutions. As California’s Lieutenant Governor, I’ll do exactly that.

The true cost of thinking about California water as a war: It turns communities into abstract pawns. It shouldn't be that way.

Trump addressed the nation for ninety-nine minutes and couldn't get himself to utter even one word about the devastating Los Angeles wildfires that affected so many Californians. This is shameful.

This is insane. I'm watching President Trump’s joint address, and I'm hearing more about the previous President Joe Biden than about what HE is doing or going to do for our nation. Stop campaigning, start governing.

GOOD NEWS: Governor Newsom declared a state of emergency with the goal of eliminating red tape that slows down wildfire prevention as the summer inches closer. It's time that California plans for the future and more leadership. Thank you, Governor.

If Russia stops fighting, there will be no war; if Ukraine stops fighting, there will be no Ukraine. Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦

I'm running for Lieutenant Governor of California, a role that has a lot of responsibilities spanning from acting as Governor to driving economic development, education reform, and environmental protection. This role impacts every Californian.

Trump's word salad on releasing the water in California shows you how dangerous it is to have a commander in chief who knows nothing and cares less about agriculture. As your Lieutenant Governor I'm going to fight like hell every day for our farmers.

FEMA is helping thousands of California residents and families get back on their feet and jumpstart their recovery from the devastating wildfires. Kristi Noem's suggestion to abolish FEMA is reckless and dangerous.

"Donald Trump and House Republicans are hurting the American people. It's unacceptable, unconscionable, and un-American, and we're not going to stand for it one minute." Hakeem Jeffries speaks for me.
