Antonio Villaraigosa understands that aﬀordable housing gives more families the opportunity to reach for their dreams.”

– Former Assembly Speaker and Los Angeles Council President Herb Wesson, Jr.

Antonio Villaraigosa is the only candidate for governor with a proven record in increasing access to affordable housing. During his time as Mayor of Los Angeles, Villaraigosa invested more than $1 billion to build over 21,000 affordable homes and over 2,600 homes for people that had been homeless.

During the Great Recession, Villaraigosa enacted policies to rebuild the local economy and get people back to work. With homelessness at a high and the middle class struggling, California needs a Governor who is a proven leader and committed to our community. Affordable housing. More opportunity. A Governor for us. Vote Antonio Villaraigosa

Vote Gavin Newsom for Governor Primary Election Day : June 5, 2018

Gavin Newsom believes education is a lifelong pursuit that begins when babies are still in the womb and doesn’t end until we’ve done all we can to prepare them for a good-paying job and the world of work. That means focusing on prenatal care and early childhood education, creating full-service K-12 community schools, increasing college affordability and access, and creating pathways to quality jobs. California’s public school teachers and educators have endorsed Gavin for Governor because they know he’s the right choice for our kids.
