Thank you, California.

We need to make California more affordable for working families.

As the son of immigrants who came here in search of a better life, California has given me opportunity. I want to give back and make sure the next generation of Californians has the same opportunities to achieve their American Dream.

Our students deserve a world class education system. That’s what I’ve fought for as Superintendent, and what I’ll continue to fight for as Governor.

No one should go into debt for an education. This is my plan for free college in California.

Terry was 35 years old when he passed away. He lost his job, lost his insurance, and was diagnosed with a rare liver disorder he never saw coming. No one should lose their life because they lost their coverage.

He calls himself the law-and-order candidate. His record says otherwise. California isn’t going backward. Vote Tony Thurmond for Governor by June 2nd. 🗳️

Every LGBTQ+ kid deserves to see themselves in the books they read, feel safe at school, and have adults in their corner. I’ll always fight for them.

Check out Clio’s Books in Oakland! Such a lively and welcoming space, and it’s a pleasure every time I visit. Part of my plan is to make sure small businesses like Clio’s can thrive!

Always honored to have the support of Mayor Barbara Lee. 🙏 A true trailblazer who has spent decades fighting fearlessly for working families, racial justice, and peace. As Governor, I will carry that same spirit of courage and service into every decision I make. Barbara Lee speaks for me!

My mother, Cecelia, came from Panama with nothing but a belief in the power of education. She became a teacher. She instilled in me a passion for serving others. I lost her when I was six years old. But her love never left me.

When people hear our message, it resonates. That’s because my lived experience and proven track record make me the most qualified candidate for governor, and the one who can deliver on making California affordable for working people.

tonythurmond.bsky.social @tonythurmond.bsky.social · 04/05/2026
As your next governor, I’ll make California affordable for all, and that starts with down payment assistance, and building 2 million housing units, so that everyone can afford a home.

I don’t wanna hear any plans from ballot thief Chad Bianco.

Happy May Day! Reminder that when we put working people over the billionaire class, we can deliver on better healthcare for Californians.

It’s May Day! Let’s keep fighting to put working people over billionaires’ profits.

You shouldn’t have to go to jail to get substance abuse treatment. My opponent, Chad Bianco, thinks we should just lock everyone up.

No one should go into debt for a quality education. That’s why I introduced legislation that would make college free in California. And as your governor, I’ll implement it for California students.

If the insurance industry doesn’t write policies for Californians, they will not get any subsidies from the State of California.

Our campaign is funded by the people, not billionaires, not polluters, not private prisons.

Healthcare is a human right. California deserves a governor who will fight for it.

Trump’s Labor Secretary resigned in disgrace. And while her scandals played out, she was handing education policy to the same department she was running into the ground. Our students deserve better.

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.

tonythurmond.bsky.social @tonythurmond.bsky.social · 16/03/2026
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.

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!

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.

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!
