Public affairs guy. Former comms chief for @GavinNewsom, @KamalaHarris, U.S. Senate flack, and more. Views are my own.

[Nathan Click @Click_CA]

It's been an honor to serve you and this great state! ❤️

[Gavin Newsom @GavinNewsom]

From “Courage for a Change” to “California For All,” @Click_CA has been by my side helping us communicate to millions of Californians and navigate the state through a time of unprecedented challenge.

Team Newsom wishes you the best of luck in this next chapter!!

Notably, Newsom, CA YIMBY, YIMBY Action urged a No vote on Prop 33 while conservative Huntington Beach wanted a Yes vote

Did you know: the proposed Dodger’s Stadium Gondola has a capacity that is larger than the Metro E Line standard capacity?

I had assumed light rail would have a much higher capacity, but you would actually need either heavy rail or an automated system

@dodgerdan213 Meanwhile, in a version of LA where we let good things happen…

Who knew the ultimate rent control is no rent control

[Dave Rand @DRand2024]

The ULA Coalition just released a study from BAE Economics

Conclusion -

ULA is economically benign because most LA projects already don’t work due to macro economic factors.

Brilliant theory. A huge new r-e tax is totally fine because market rate housing is already fucked! 🤯

[Max Dubler 🏳️‍🌈 @maxdubler]

Building new housing, even at the high end of the market, kicks off a “moving on up” effect that creates vacancy in the cheapest available homes.

*Not* building enough new housing to meet demand has the opposite effect, raising the price floor for even the worst housing.

@YIMBYLAND 100%

(Suspect much of the opposition is astro-turfed by the California Endowment, an NGO w truly pernicious effects upon our politics)

[YIMBYLAND @YIMBYLAND]

Ignore the NIMBYs.
Build the Gondala.

[Jon Dearing @jondearing]

That’s the guy who forced the UCLA Mobility Lab into writing a report saying that somehow adding a transit alternative would not alleviate surrounding traffic.

A study that was later discredited by its own authors, years ago now.

Yet it is still being cited by project opponents to this day.

And without any mention of the retraction by news media covering the gondola.

[Max Dubler 🏳️‍🌈 @maxdubler]

@lhfang The California Endowment is a *major* nonprofit funder in Los Angeles. The California Endowment opposes the gondola because it would block the nice views of the hills from their office next to Union Station.

[Nathan Click @Click_CA]

@JDCocchiarella @BrandonRichards @iGardon Agree!

[Nathan Click @Click_CA]

Big news. So pumped to welcome Zach to the Click Strategies team.

[Zach Seidl @zachgseidl]

I’ll have more to say in the coming weeks about what these past 10 years with @MayorOfLA have meant to me but for now I have some ~personal news~ that I’ll be starting with the Click Strategies team at the end of this month!

[mottsmith @mottsmith]

Unless the LA City Council can cap expenses for apartment operators— capping insurance premiums, utility costs, etc.—capping rent growth will only drive more projects towards insolvency. If that’s the goal, fine. But they should say so.

[Nathan Click @Click_CA]

@Elex_Michaelson @CNN @SteveBattaglio @latimes We love to see it!

Study challenges view that legal betting brings financial harm ✍️🔍

[InGame @InGameHQ]

Dr. Michael Mandel never intended to research the economic impact of sports betting. The chief economist and vice president of the Progressive Policy Institute (PPI) got into gambling for a simple reason: He wanted something to share with his then-94-year-old father.

That personal experience led Mandel to examine sports betting through his professional lens at PPI, a think tank focused on balancing innovation with regulation.

The result is a new study that challenges the narrative that legalized sports betting is driving Americans into financial ruin.

[Sports Betting Alliance @SBAllianceUS]

Millions of Virginians are playing online casino games on unregulated, offshore sites – often without even knowing it.

Legalizing and regulating online casino games would protect players, generate tens of millions in tax revenue for the state, and take power away from illegal operators.

@CBS6 with the story:

[Shane Goldmacher @ShaneGoldmacher]

NEWS: Gavin Newsom has raised $6.2 million in online donations in the first week of redistricting fight.

An outpouring of 200k donations is a sign of awakening Dem small donor base.

It's also a boon to lists for a potential 2028 run.
