    The dream that brought millions to California for a better life is increasingly out of reach. We won’t restore California’s promise by looking to the past. We need a bold vision for the future. That’s why I’m running to be California’s next Lieutenant Governor.

    1. I’m 27 2. Please look up the word universal. 3. We haven’t been bankrupt for years and are actually the 2nd fiscally healthy city in the state. 4. It’s philanthropically funded 5. The majority of people are struggling in this economy. We have to deal with that

    It’s easy to speak up when everyone is doing it. Much harder to be the first. On this Super Bowl Sunday, salute to you @Kaepernick7 for your leadership, courage, and sacrifice.

    Say what you want about @POTUS but nobody in America history has served as VP for a Black President, selected a Black woman to be his @VP, nor nominated a Black Woman to be a Supreme Court Justice. Respect

    That was me, as Mayor of Stockton. We are that city @stocktondemo.
    A city gave people $500 a month, no strings attached, to fight poverty. It paid off, study says. wapo.st/3bZJafB

    Imagine being forced to resign for being a bigot and ending with, "I hope I inspired Latina girls." Huh? Not an apology? Not sorry to the little boy I hurt or the communities I harmed? Nada. Just vibes and hope y'all follow my footsteps. Basura.

    No I don’t. I️ want to help current Stockton residents that need it afford rising rents, utilities, going back to school, etc.

    It is wild that the politicians that downplayed the risk of the virus, don’t wear masks, host super spreader events, deny science, and want the rest of the country to risk it all, are now first in line to receive the vaccine. It’s the hypocrisy and unmitigated gall for me.

    Actually modeled after the Alaska Permanent Fund. Are you familiar with it?

    Broke bread this morning with @Ocasio2018. We talked about the similarities between her district and Stockton, about increasing opportunity, and basic income. We also talked about the inspiration provided by Dr. King’s ideology. #ReinventStockton

    My father has been a part of the inmate firefighter program. I’m excited that once released he and countless others like him will have the opportunity to become fire fighters. Love to see it.
    CA’s inmate firefighter program is decades-old and has long needed reform. Inmates who have stood on the frontlines, battling historic fires should not be denied the right to later become a professional firefighter. Today, I signed #AB2147 that will fix that.
