promising night in california. state and local politicians interested in saving their communities should continue to aggressively ignore national political discourse, and focus on state and local chaos, as well as the psychopathic record of incumbents. this is the gateway.
California may be a technology leader, but when it comes to giving citizens access to audited local government financial information we lag Utah, Florida, Texas, and others.
New from me at California Policy Center.

The LA County Federation of Labor has a new committee lined up to go after Spencer Pratt, and they are dropping an initial $221k on this video & an additional digital ad.
I am very grateful to the Chinese American Democratic Club to have received their #1 endorsement - not because of identity or race - but ideas and values and I think that's really the most Important thing.
“Change the Party?” The Democratic Party?!
Call me crazy, but I think pro-terrorist, anti-American, antisemitic, anti-AAPI, misogynist, xenophobic, politically repellent Hasan Piker fanboys should go form their OWN party — and get the f*** out of ours! (1/3)
HUGE NEWS!
I’m officially on TV.
I just launched a major, six figure ad buy ad across San Francisco to share exactly what I’ll fight for in Congress. I’ve been fighting for common sense for years and I’m ready to deliver real results for San Francisco.
He flipped the script on them instantly.
California Gubernatorial candidate Steve Hilton (R) gave a masterful response to the debate moderator who tried to use President Trump’s endorsement of him as an attack against him.
MODERATOR: “Mr. Hilton, you said you were ‘deeply honored’ to recently receive President Trump’s endorsement.”
“That’s despite the fact that 62% of Californians disapprove of the job he is doing. Are those Californians wrong?”
HILTON: “One of the proudest days of my life was the day I became an American citizen.”
“It happened in a ceremony right here in San Francisco.”
“So it is a deep honor for me to be endorsed by the President of the United States.”
“And he’s the think that’s going to help every Californian when I’m governor, is that we will have a constructive relationship and partnership with the federal government, which would be the case, I would hope for any party in that situation so that we can make things better in California.”
“Work WITH the president and his administration to manage our forests better, to harvest the timber so we can build the single-family homes we need for young families...”
“To work to increase California energy production as he wants to do so we can lower gas prices, to fight the fraud in our government so we can cut spending and cut taxes, to work to enforce our immigration laws.”
“In all these areas and more it will benefit every Californian to have a governor who is a partner on these issues with the president and his team.”
Take a look at @MHurabiell if you haven't already. As @micsolana says, moderates should be moderate. And then donate to Marie to help her break through: https://t.co/LrfhhrNkyd
I'll be voting for Marie in the primary fyi, and if you live in SF I encourage you to do the same. Moderates should be moderate, and when they forget they should be reminded our vote is never guaranteed simply bc they're not as bad as the season's craziest communist.
"I should define myself. At a policy level, I’m very conservative. At a dispositional and tonal level, I’m a moderate because I believe that American civics and the glories of being able to inherit a constitutional doctrine of anti-majoritarianism and restraints and a belief in pluralism — that stuff is so glorious." https://t.co/ETiEF0afVy
“Chinese American Democratic Club (CADC) has proudly endorsed Marie Hurabiell for Congress. Marie is a pragmatic leader who brings a common-sense approach to making government more accountable and efficient. She stood with @sf_cadc during critical moments, including the recall of District Attorney Chesa Boudin and opposing Prop K. Having interned in Nancy Pelosi’s congressional office and later serving as a federally appointed trustee, she understands how to navigate government and deliver results. As the organizer of the 30,000-member ConnectedSF and an early supporter of Daniel Lurie, she has championed clean streets and safer neighborhoods. Marie prioritizes affordability by tackling rising energy costs and government waste, while advancing AI security and exploring Universal Basic Income. We believe she will be an effective voice for our community.”

It’s so much more interesting and important than our policy differences about one versus two cheers for this level of government intervention in the economy or regulatory X, Y or Z.
So, the policy fighting is so subordinate in my mind to the civic transmission obligations that we have that I won the whole continuum of Nebraska from very far right to pretty center-left in all four of my elections — two primaries and two generals. And yet, I was constantly condemned by my party.
It did start a little bit pre-Trump because I got elected in 2014, took office in 2015, and by the end of 2015, I was a little bit in trouble with my party at home for not hating Democrats enough. And I was like, “But I don’t. There are 330 million Americans” ——"

Wisdom from @smarick. If we want better governance, we need more people engaged in the actual work of governing — especially at the local level — and fewer who treat politics as a spectator sport. https://t.co/YQOW99rSDJ
