San Jose Mayor Matt Mahan told me he'll decide within the next couple of weeks if he's running for California governor.
"I haven't seen any of the current candidates speak clearly and boldly," he said, on issues including crime, homelessness and cost of living.
Let’s listen to Mayor Matt Mahan. We need to close tax loopholes & cut billions in waste, not crash CA's innovation economy with a so-called "Wealth Tax" that's failed many times before. The winners from this proposal will be taxpayers in Florida & Texas. https://t.co/KgfWaqxHWA
@CAgovernor and Congressman @RoKhanna are both right — and they are both wrong. Embracing this disastrous tax policy will wind up costing all Californians, not just the wealthy. (1/2)

The way we win the fight for a better California is by solving problems in the real world, not by stooping to Donald Trump's level online.

There are more than 1M Californians out of work and out of respect to them, I would ask that the Governor’s office spend more time implementing Prop 36 and other much-needed reforms instead of trolling employers.

Since CA took away tools judges used to require addiction treatment homelessness rose over 60%, despite falling in most other states. Prop. 36 uses proven treatment programs to bring everyone indoors. It’s time to break the cycle of suffering. Learn more: https://t.co/qxCQkZLCsK.
In 2014, Prop. 47 made theft under $950 a misdemeanor. Since then, California has seen retail thefts rise, costing taxpayers $8 billion annually. Prop. 36 reinstates mandatory treatment for those repeatedly committing theft to fuel addiction. Learn more: https://t.co/qxCQkZLCsK.
Overdose deaths have skyrocketed, becoming the leading cause of death for young Californians. A solution is on our ballot. Prop. 36 brings back tools to get more people into treatment and break the cycle of suffering. Learn about the life-saving measure: https://t.co/qxCQkZLCsK.
The Press Democrat endorses Prop. 36: "Prop. 36 would provide police and prosecutors with better tools to crack down on repeat retail theft and fentanyl trafficking while keeping in place much of CA's recent criminal justice reforms." https://t.co/k2MJeMFp4v
“We need tools to get people into treatment and to hold repeat retail thefts accountable for their crime.” Watch this in-depth report on how Prop. 36 brings back treatment to address retail thefts, drug overdose deaths, and California’s homeless crisis.
Where you stand on creating accountability and treatment by passing Prop. 36 might depend on where you're sitting. @MattMahanSJ talks with @Elex_Michaelson about how local leaders are uniting in favor of Prop. 36 – while Sacramento politicians lag behind.
Thanks Vice Mayor Golder & Police Chief Escalante for your support of Prop. 36! Prop. 36 introduces stricter consequences for those with multiple prior convictions for theft or drug-related crimes, ensuring accountability & protection for local businesses.

Great job, California - let's keep spreading the word and Getting Out the Vote! Treatment and accountability save money and lives and the voters get it, even though some Sacramento politicians still don't.
