I stood with AAPI communities in the face of hate. I wrote the law that kept ICE out of our schools and hospitals. Now I’m running for Governor — to build 2 million housing units, protect our immigrant neighbors, and create a California that works for all of us.
Thank you to @kademocrats.bsky.social, @causeusa.bsky.social, and the coalition of organizations who hosted our AANHPI gubernatorial forum today.
Like many, my story started with my family immigrating to the US to create a better life for their children. That has guided my career ever since.
Hey @ezraklein.bsky.social , I hear you’re hosting a housing forum. I want in! Our campaign has a bold vision to tackle housing affordability and California deserves to hear our plan!
Farm workers built California’s $50 billion agricultural sector. They deserve overtime pay. I helped pass farm worker overtime protections in 2016, and I’m not about to let anyone roll them back now. Fair days pay for fair days work. Standing with farm workers. Standing with the UFW.
I’m calling on Eric Swalwell to drop out of the Governor’s race and resign from Congress immediately.
I’m working with our top housing leaders to give school districts the startup funding they need to develop that land building homes for teachers, nurses, firefighters, and working families. This is how we get to 2 million units. This is how we fix the supply crisis.
It’s tax season. While we were all digging through receipts, Tom Steyer only paid 14% in taxes on $39 million of passive income. He’s spent $100 million trying to buy this governor’s race, but California’s not for sale.
If you want a governor who works for tech billionaires, Matt Mahan is your guy. If you want a governor who will take on big tech, join our movement!
A debate stage with no candidates of color.
They decide who gets a platform. We decide what California looks like.
They deported a 6-year-old boy from Hayward, without his hearing aids. Let that sink in. Joseph is a child. A student. A Californian. And ICE still ripped him away from his home. I’m calling on the Trump administration to bring Joseph and his family home NOW.
AI should never be used to spy on Americans or for war. As Governor, I will stand up to Big Tech and ensure AI works for Californians, not against us. If billionaires try to violate our rights, we will hold them accountable.
I remember how difficult it was to afford childcare when my kids were young, and it’s only gotten worse for families across California.
As governor, I’ll work to create universal childcare so families can save money, childcare providers are supported, and every child has access to quality care.
Call your representatives. Call the White House & USCIS. Demand that they bring Joseph home.
Today I visited the California School for the Deaf in Fremont, where Joseph Rodriguez studied before ICE deported him and his family. A deaf child should not be ripped away from his community after his mother followed the rules and showed up for her check-in.
After gunning down two Americans in broad daylight, Donald Trump’s ICE is now in the process of deporting a disabled 7-year-old California boy after his mom reported for her check-in. Bring the Gutierrez family home!
Bernie was right. The system is rigged. I’m in it to win it.
No more war!
Who is the real progressive for CA Governor?
We’ll have two California civic legends in California Secretary of State Dr. Shirley Weber and former San Francisco Mayor Willie L. Brown. We will be streaming live to students, educators, and members of the general public.
Black History is American History.
Join me in the 10:00 am hour (PST) on Friday February 13th for the next installment in our oral history series with California leaders who will share their views and experiences in Black History!
Palantir Co-Founder Joe Lonsdale isn’t just profiting from the horrific cruelty of ICE, he’s a Jan 6 truther who’s called for public executions. So why is Matt Mahan taking his money?
This is 2026 and Donald Trump is still using the most vile racist tropes in American history. If you cannot call that out loudly and clearly, you are part of the problem.
Honored to earn the endorsement of State Senator and California Legislative Black Caucus Chair Dr. Akilah Weber Pierson in our race for California Governor! I look forward to continuing our work to move California forward with her support.
After today’s newest batch of Epstein files, it’s clear Donald Trump needs to be impeached.

We are only 4 days away from our NorCal Housing Town Hall meeting!
I am excited to be joined by Oakland Mayor Barbara Lee, State Senator Jesse Arreguin, and Oakland Councilmember Zac Unger for this new FREE housing town hall series.
I’m proud to share that Oakland Mayor Barbara Lee has endorsed our campaign for Governor.
She’s spent her career standing up for communities that too often get left behind, and I’m grateful to have her support during this important race!
I stand in solidarity with UNAC
No more profits over people
No more investments in ICE detention centers by Kaiser
It should be a baseline that the next Governor of California isn’t a supporter of this monstrous ICE regime. As Governor, you can always count on me to be an unwavering champion for California’s immigrant communities—not just when it’s politically popular.
