"I’m endorsing Tom Steyer because he will focus on the job responsibilities instead of the image and has a strong vision for a better future that we share. Tom is passionate about solving problems and manages a team well to meet objectives. He understands that changing status quo economic structures to benefit working Californians, tackling our housing and cost-of-living affordability crisis, and leaving no one behind in our work are top priorities. He also uniquely brings critical attention and practical expertise to an issue the next Governor can directly control: reforming the Public Utilities Commission to deliver meaningful utility rate reform through a climate-focused approach — one that drives new investment in green energy, encourages public power, and lowers energy costs. And importantly, he can’t be bought. Across the board: on substance, on style, and on a commitment to public service — Tom Steyer is the right choice"
