David Fennell | REPUBLICAN

David Fennell knows how to fix Sacramento! When you elect me to be your Lieutenant Governor I will immediately focus on: 1) Jobs leaving the state & rising costs. 2) Crime & security. 3) Land resource mismanagement leading to forest fires & farmers' lack of water. As a lifelong Californian who grew up Catholic in the fishing and farming community of Half Moon Bay, having made 5+ trips to all of California's 58 counties, it pains me to see how much our fellow Californian has been suffering during this difficult period. Yet, I have also witnessed a new growing spark of optimism stretching from our inner cities to rural farmland with a yearning desire for a changing of the guard & new leadership to guide California to our next level of greatness which can only be achieved with a new Lieutenant Governor. Few realize Lt. Governor is not only the President of the State Senate but also chairs or sits on the State’s most influential economic, academic, trade, emergency, environmental & land use boards. As your Lieutenant Governor, I will address California's most critical issues head on by writing a new economic growth plan using our constitutional & legal powers as Chair of the California Commission for Economic Development. My background in business & economic development combined with my election as Crime Prevention Council Chairman in the inner city gives me the experience needed to lead California to the next level. Join with me! Our best days are ahead!
God Bless California!

David Hillberg | NO PARTY PREFERENCE

I, like you question the direction our leaders in Sacramento have been taking us. Just as you, I too have concerns regarding the loss of our freedoms, liberties and livelihoods. We need to get back on track with family first, lower taxes, parental rights, proper governance, safe neighborhoods, school choice education, to give all an advantage to the California dream. We are a multi-cultural state that should be respected, protected and given the best employment and educational opportunities that our government leaders have failed to provide to its people.

Mohammad Arif | PEACE AND FREEDOM

California's economy and government should serve working people, not just the wealthy. Electing rich developers and their supporters brings profits for the wealthy, not housing for ordinary people. Peace, justice, human rights. I support the Left Unity Slate. People are power.

Jeffrey Highbear Morgan | DEMOCRATIC

I'm a Native Californian born in Santa Cruz, and a Native American with conservative values. My career began as a software engineer in Silicon Valley in the 1990s, including roles as an entrepreneur and other high-tech leadership positions. As Lieutenant Governor, I will focus on growing our economy by addressing homelessness, crime and providing incentives for small businesses; improving access and affordability to our California Universities; and protecting our environment.

Eleni Kounalakis | DEMOCRATIC

I have been honored and humbled to serve as your Lieutenant Governor as we work together to make our way through these difficult times. As Lieutenant Governor, I am a member of all three governing boards for California's public colleges and universities. I have fought tuition increases and supported initiatives to increase access to college so future generations have a chance to achieve the California Dream. To address our housing shortage, our boards have approved more than 30,000 new beds on our public university campuses. As our state faces historic wildfires and droughts, I was proud to lead California's delegation to the United Nations Climate Change Conference to showcase our state's innovation and press the world to aggressively combat the devastating impacts of climate change. As Chair of the State Lands Commission, I oversaw closures of oil wells off the coast of California and helped ensure no new offshore oil development. While women's rights are under attack across the country, I fought for new laws in California to protect women from sexual assault and expand access to reproductive choice. As California's economic ambassador, I'm focused on creating good-paying jobs for Californians. That's why I led delegations to Mexico, India, and Armenia to focus on environmental cooperation and economic development. I am proud of our work thus far, but we have much more left to do. I would be honored to have your support and vote.
