Steyer Campaign Slams New Silicon Valley-Fueled Effort Backing Matt Mahan

SAN FRANCISCO — Steyer for Governor spokesperson Kevin Liao released the following statement after reports of a new tech-funded independent expenditure formed to support Matt Mahan’s candidacy:

“Just days after wealthy tech elites raved about Matt Mahan’s entrance into the governor’s race, they’re now ready to spend millions to back him. This isn't charity – it's an investment so they get richer while everyone else gets priced out of California. While San Jose remains the least affordable housing market in the world, Tom Steyer is ready to take on powerful special interests, make billionaires and corporations pay their fair share, and make California affordable for working people.”
