Anthony Rendon

Today, I'm launching my campaign for California Superintendent of Public Instruction. I'm running so every child can attend high-quality public schools — from early education to college — that nurture growth, support their well-being, and help them reach their full potential.

Getting results for working people, their kids, and their families is why I first got into public service, and it's why I'm running to lead California's schools. I'm grateful to @CaliforniaLabor for its support in my campaign for Superintendent of Public Instruction.

The future of education in California requires modernizing school facilities to create safe and inspiring learning environments for our students. I'm thrilled to work with IBEW to invest in a skilled and trained workforce that brings these projects to life, bolster vocational education and apprenticeship opportunities, and make sure young people have the skills and training necessary for high-demand jobs.

Congressman @RobertGarcia is at the frontlines fighting the damage Donald Trump is inflicting on California schools every single day. I'm grateful for his support for my campaign to protect our schools and fight for our students.

Thank you @RendonAnthony for supporting our brothers and sisters at UNAC/UHCP!

Good morning from the picket line in Downey with @unacuhcp nurses and health care professionals fighting for dignity and justice in the workplace!

Our firefighters put their lives on the line to protect all of us. I'm grateful to @CAFirefighters for their endorsement, and am committed to California's public schools being equipped to train the next generation of firefighters our state depends on.

@kristinmslevin @jodihicks Congrats Kristin!

@jodihicks Thanks, Jodi! Thrilled to be in this fight with you 💪🏽

Congratulations and Welcome! California is lucky to have you in the fight. 🔥🔥

Appreciate the support and kind words from House Democratic Caucus Chair @PeteAguilar, one of California's fiercest champions in Congress: "Every day in Congress, I see how Donald Trump is weaponizing the federal government to target California, our students, and our hardworking educators. California needs a strong, tested leader to protect our schools and rally like-minded people from across the country to push back against these attacks. I worked closely with Anthony Rendon during his time as Assembly Speaker on numerous efforts to ensure Washington supports California, and I'm confident he's the best person to guide our schools through an uncertain future.”

ICYMI: The 750,000 members of SEIU California members are proud to endorse @RendonAnthony for State Superintendent of Public Instruction, because we need leaders who don't just talk about justice, they fight alongside us for it. seiuca.org/press-releases…

Let me be very clear: ICE should have no place in our schools. The inhumanity of this Administration — targeting kids who are just trying to learn — knows no bounds. youtube.com/watch?v=tODuaa…

I'm deeply grateful for the trust that @seiucalifornia has placed in me, and I'm committed to working alongside them to ensure that every child in California has access to the high-quality public education they deserve.

I urge the Governor and legislative leaders to heed education advocates and provide the resources our children need for a world-class education.  This crisis also underscores California's need for greater independence from federal funding. We must create a fairer revenue system where wealthy individuals and corporations pay their fair share. That's why I strongly support extending Prop 30/Prop 55 taxes on high earners and reforming Prop 13 to close the corporate property tax loophole while continuing to protect California families and small businesses.

Two things can be equally true: 1. Donald Trump has dealt a catastrophic blow to our state's finances. 2. The solution can’t be to balance the budget on the backs of public schools.

The Governor has no idea who you are

.@afscme3299's proposed ballot measure to support first-time home buyers makes a lot of sense: ✅ It uses no taxpayer money ✅ Loans are guaranteed to be repaid ✅ Provides UC support staff a path toward the dream of home ownership I'm proud to support it. …rst-timehomebuyerdownpaymentloans.org

California's schools faced their fair share of challenges last year. In 2026, we must build on the academic progress students have made since the pandemic, while standing firm against federal policies that threaten our state's values. calmatters.org/education/k-12…

While it's tragic that so many are only learning about her after death, it's heartwarming to see Melissa Hortman’s story reaching people around the world. rollingstone.com/politics/polit…

California's psychiatric technicians care for people with mental health conditions and developmental disabilities — some of the most challenging work there is. They deserve pay and benefits that reflect this. I'm grateful to the California Association of Psychiatric Technicians for their support.
