Tom Steyer for California Governor
I’ve done it. Finally made my decision.
It’s primarily his policies, but also as important, it’s his personality. I’m willing to give him the chance to make the following policies happen.
Tom’s Policies:
- Make housing work for all Californians
- Close corporate loopholes, and raise $20 billion of new revenue each year to fund things like education, healthcare, childcare, and home care
- Reduce ratepayer utility costs by breaking utility monopoly power and open the grid to competition
- Provide universal education starting at three years old, all the way through to free community college
- Abolish and demolish ICE
- Defend the climate and environment
- Provide universal healthcare coverage
- Make sure all Californian’s benefit from AI and protect working people and families

A new tech-friendly governor?
The California governor’s race has been a crowded field without notable frontrunners.
#Newsom had been a long-time friend of the tech industry, hosting Google’s #Page and #Brin as guests at his wedding
and referring to Salesforce chief executive Marc #Benioff as “family”.
His departure appears to have Silicon Valley fretting.
#Singleton, from the Chamber of Progress, said Newsom had long recognized “how pivotal the technology industry is in California”.
But then, late last month, Matt #Mahan, a moderate Democrat and the mayor of San Jose, announced his candidacy.
Before Mahan got involved in politics in 2020, he had a career in the tech sector.
He was an undergraduate at Harvard with Zuckerberg,
and in 2014 co-founded a startup with funding from #Conway, #Benioff and Napster co-founder Sean #Parker.
Mahan appears to be the savior the tech industry had been searching for.
Since his candidacy announcement just two weeks ago,
⚠️millions have poured into his campaign.
According to public records, he’s received donations from several venture capitalists,
along with Roblox CEO David #Baszucki, Y Combinator CEO Garry #Tan, GitHub co-founder Chris #Wanstrath, Cloudkitchen co-founder Diego #Berdakin, and Ring founder #Siminoff.
Mahan has even courted donors who helped launch companies known for working with the Trump administration,
including Palantir co-founder Joe #Lonsdale and Anduril co-founder Matt #Grimm and his wife Kimberly Grimm, according to public records.
Google’s #Brin has also backed Mahan, maxing out the limit for an individual campaign donation at $78,400.
Several of Mahan’s other tech backers also maxed out their donations.
🔥At this point, Mahan has now raised more than double the two most prominent democrats in the race, ⭐️Eric Swalwell
and ⭐️Katie Porter.
As political races and ballot measure campaigns continue to heat up across California in 2026, tech’s influence is only expected to grow.
“It’s going to be a fun session,” Singleton said. That’s for sure.”

Quien te financia te dirige, y en el caso de los partidos políticos tradicionales, parece que están en las manos de los multimillonarios y las corporaciones, lo que los hace incapaces de representar a los trabajadores ordinarios. ¿Es hora de cambiar esto? En el Partido Verde, solo aceptamos donaciones de personas comunes y corrientes, sin influencia corporativa.
To save #democracy, we can’t just react to #GOP attacks. We need go on the offense—proactively protect voting rights and secure our future!
I stand with #GavinNewsom #CAgovernor
Breaking: I’m hearing from my sources that #Trump’s decision to deploy the National Guard wasn’t based on urgency — it was #retaliation.
He’s been stewing with anger toward #CAgovernor and #MayorOfLA, and was just waiting for the chance to strike back.
This move wasn’t about safety. It was about revenge. Stay tuned.
Is #CAGovernor #GavinNewsom so tired of being blamed for #crime surge that he is sending #LEOs from #CHP and now state's legal #prosecutors from AG #RobBonta office to #AlamedaCounty to speed up court trials and make end around ineffective elected and current recall target #Oakland DA #PamelaPrice?
