John, I served as California's chief fiscal officer for eight years.

During that time, I took on big corporations, fought tax code discrimination, and discovered over $7 billion in wasteful spending in our state's budget.

We sent an important message about what competent and accountable government can do for the people. But today, I’m hearing from people across the state that California is more out of balance than ever.

I’m feeling it.

You’re feeling it.

Californians have lost faith in our government’s ability to be responsive and deliver results. It's a tough pill to swallow, John, but it's the truth.

We need leadership with the experience and grit to repair that trust. That's why I'm in this race, and it's why I'm asking for your support.

We're approaching our very first public fundraising deadline, and we're hoping to send an unmistakable message of grassroots strength. Please contribute $3 before midnight to make California add up for us again.
