Thanks for your great question. As the state's chief elections official, the SoS has significant influence on the discussion and implementation of democracy in our state. The SoS campaign itself is statewide, offering broader debate compared to that in a single leg district. ivn.us/an-open-lett...

With our country’s democracy in severe crisis, incredibly, there are no secretary of state candidate forums nor debates scheduled between us.

I support #SB42 which gives CA voters the ability to empower the state's General Law cities w/the option to enact public financing #cleanmoney programs for local elections. Such cities should also be empowered to enact #rankedchoicevoting if they wish #capolitics www.ocregister.com/2025/02/17/c...

California voters may decide if cities can fund local campaigns with public money

The bill would not require cities to adopt public financing plans, Sen. Tom Umberg said, but rather give them the option to do so.

Polluters Pay is a basic principle of environmental justice. Corporations will never VOLUNTARILY stop destroying our shared climate. They are motivated only by fear of fiscal losses. Democrats like to pretend they are interested in the environment…let Gavin Newsom prove it by getting SB1247 passed

1. The conventional explanation for food deserts—that these places are too poor or too rural to generate enough spending on groceries, or too Black to overcome racist corporate redlining — fail to grapple with a key fact: food deserts didn’t used to exist. My new piece in The Atlantic.
