It's Official...I am Running for Governor of California


It's official. Today, I became a candidate for governor because California needs a new direction.

I hope you will join me as we set out to build a campaign that does more than win an election. Together we can create the kind of campaign that changes California.

If you want to help us get off to a strong start, please contribute here.

In San Francisco, we're showing what can be accomplished when we stop looking back and start looking for solutions.

We are the first, and still the only, city in America implementing universal health care. We're proving what you already knew - it is less expensive to keep people well than it is to treat their sicknesses.

Join us and you can help take the fight for excellent and affordable health care to all of California.

4. He's a good guy...

But a lot of the state is still pretty conservative. Let's see if he can bring those folks in ..

We have a strong field for Governor...

The Republicans?

Not so much.

5. Gavin in SF and Antonio in LA

Two lotharios. uugh

I want a sqeeeky clean professive democrat that is owned by no interest group. Not these two. This is how CA ends up with Republican governors all the time.

Let's see whether he can outdo the Governator.
