David, fair questions. One major difference is focus. Gavin has always had his sights set on the White House. Eric is focused on being governor and then going back to spending time with his family. That freedom matters, because it means his focus will be on solving California’s problems, not planning his next political move. I served under two governors, Jerry Brown and Gavin Newsom. Jerry placed a much higher priority on working with legislators. The next governor needs to be someone with legislative experience who understands how important those relationships are, how to engage early in policy discussions, and when to lead on major issues. That’s how you actually lower costs, keep communities safe, and build more housing. Who you surround yourself with matters. Eric is already bringing in people who understand California government and how to decentralize decision-making. Right now too much power is concentrated with only a few people in the administration. He will rely on the people around him to recruit strong leadership, set expectations, and hold people accountable for results. On day one he’ll be ready to move emergency regulations to jumpstart housing development and bring stakeholders together. He’ll focus on lowering costs through regulatory reform and work with the independent state auditor to ensure taxpayer money is actually producing results and that anyone defrauding the state is held accountable. He also understands how Washington works and how to leverage federal relationships to bring resources back to California, especially if Democrats retake the House. The next governor will face enormous challenges, but after spending the last six months with the candidates in forums and hearing their plans, he’s the one I believe will be most ready on day one to actually deliver.

This shows maturity and an ability to prioritize the greater good. These are the qualities that made Ian an excellent legislator. I hope more of the gubernatorial candidates have the same values. Thank you to my friend @IanCalderon.

We are in a housing emergency. That requires emergency action. Declare it. Cut through the red tape. Jumpstart development. Build at scale. Enough excuses.

California is home to one of the largest Iranian-American communities in the country, and today’s strikes are personal for so many — hope for change, fear for loved ones, and grief over civilian lives lost. People want peace and dignity, not endless war. We need leaders in this moment who prioritize civilian lives, prevent escalation, and keep Americans safe here and abroad.

Three life sentences. Sixteen counts. Children as young as four. And he’s being released. Protecting children is the most basic responsibility of government. The system failed, and the Governor must step in immediately. There is no gray area when it comes to predators and our kids.
Sacramento Sheriff@sacsheriff

SENTENCED TO THREE LIFE TERMS: WHY WAS SERIAL CHILD MOLESTER DAVID FUNSTON GRANTED EARLY RELEASE? The people of Sacramento, and every parent across California, deserve answers. The California Parole Board has granted parole to David Allen Funston, a serial child molester who used candy and toys to lure children seven years old and younger. He was convicted of 16 counts of kidnapping and child molestation. Multiple young children were victimized, some as young as four years old. He was sentenced to more than 20 years in prison, along with three additional consecutive sentences of 25 years to life. A judge described him as “the monster parents fear the most.” Yet today, the parole board has determined he is suitable for release. How do they explain that to those children and their parents? How do they tell families that a predator of this nature is “no longer a risk”? Under California’s Elderly Parole Program, inmates over 50 are eligible for parole. He is 64. Age does not erase predatory behavior. It does not undo grooming. It does not restore stolen childhoods. Childhood sexual predators do not suddenly become safe because they turned 50; they cannot be rehabilitated. Most states exclude heinous crimes like this from elderly parole. California does not. Today, a survivor bravely spoke about what this decision means. Detective Rodriguez, who worked this case, knows firsthand what this man was capable of and how he was caught. The Elderly Parole Program was meant for those who no longer pose a danger. In cases like this, it fails. Our number one responsibility is to protect children. That should never be controversial or partisan. Protecting children is not rhetoric. It is common sense. Protect children first. Always.

Sacramento has to recognize that regional diversity matters. One-size-fits-all policies don’t always work. As governor, I’ll empower small communities to compete for jobs and build the housing their families need.

A great state isn’t measured by the size of its economy. It’s measured by what everyday people can count on: • A stable home • A safe neighborhood • A future that feels possible California’s promise is only real if it’s livable.
