Whether it's stopping ICE transfers and holding immigration agents accountable, or protecting the right to education for all, we won’t settle for anything less than a champion for our families.

Posts by Betty Yee for Governor
We refuse to be overlooked and pushed aside. We will fight to be heard in the California governor’s race. Voters deserve it and democracy depends on it.
Politics can get loud.
So we did something different -- handed the mic to the next generation.
Take a look.
It’s not a mystery about what we have to do. It’s a matter of political will and leadership.
Looking forward to seeing voters at the San Joaquin Valley Democratic Club Forum!
Democracy in action.
I’ve been overlooked, underestimated, and counted out my whole life. And yet I rose to shatter California voting records when I was re-elected State Controller, winning more votes than any statewide candidate in California history — including all governors. A record that still stands.
Academic elites and corporate media giants want to be unelected gatekeepers – blocking all Democrats of color from being heard in the governor’s race. This is happening in the most diverse state in the nation — where communities of color are the actual majority.
Letters won’t define my destiny. The name Betty Yee is moving up - in more ways than one.
For a woman who’s usually stuck at the back of the alphabet line thanks to a last name starting with the letter “Y,” I appreciate this luck of the draw!
In a large field of candidates, you’ll see my name listed toward the top of the ballot this year.
A diverse group of candidates facing voters in public forums. Tough questions. Substance over soundbites. That’s what California voters deserve - and I thank all the volunteers who make these conversations possible.
Too bad Katie Porter and Eric Swalwell are frequent no shows.
“We need more than a “crusader” in Sacramento. We need a governor who knows where every dollar is hidden in the state budget.”

I’m proud to earn the endorsement of San Francisco’s Alice B. Toklas Democratic Club, the oldest LGBTQ+ Democratic Club in the Country.
Betty Yee is THE TOP VOTE GETTER in California history, either man or woman. No governor has even earned more votes.

As we celebrate Women’s history month, let’s talk about the candidate who has already MADE CALIFORNIA HISTORY by winning more votes than any other statewide candidate in history.
More than 8 million Californians voted for Betty Yee when she was
re-elected as State Controller in 2018.
Asked at a (recent) forum who they would endorse in the crowded race, if they had to name someone other than themselves, rivals Tom Steyer and Antonio Villaraigosa both said they would pick Yee.

Fun shoutout from Politico’s California Playbook. Ms. Popularity isn’t bad, but Madam Governor will be historic.
MS. POPULARITY — Betty Yee might be lagging in the polls for California governor, but she’s winning the popularity contest among her fellow Democratic candidates.
We need more of this. In depth discussions with candidates featuring substance not soundbites.

Happy International Women’s Day!
Let’s commit to invest in women and girls, for more equitable communities and a more equitable world.
That candidate is former State Controller Betty Yee. Committed to Californians.
Voters are looking for a new leader who’s 100% committed to governing, not grandstanding. Who’s committed to California’s future, not their own personal fame. Who’s committed to lowering costs for working families, not climbing their own political ladder.
If Trump wants a “war on fraud” he should start in his own office. Trump granted clemency to a Florida buddy convicted in $1.3 billion health care fraud scheme. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
Cal Berkeley Democrats all in for my campaign for Governor. Grateful to have the dems of my alma mater standing with me.
Don't underestimate the power of the grassroots. Don't underestimate Betty Yee.
We are better because he kept pushing America to be better, encouraging us to keep hope alive. May he rest in power, and may we carry that work forward.
