He was just a teenager already worrying that he wouldn't be able to afford to live where he grew up.
A few years ago, my son Paul broke my heart with a question.
He asked, "Mom, will you come visit me when I grow up and live outside of California?"
"Why would you want to live somewhere else?" I asked.
It wasn't that there's somewhere else he'd rather be. He was just a teenager already worrying that he wouldn't be able to afford to live where he grew up.
He's right to be worried. California is in the middle of a cost-of-living crisis. Housing has become too expensive and homeownership is often out of reach—not to mention all the other ways families are getting nickel and dimed.
That's why I'm running for governor.
As governor, I'll make sure California is a state everyone can afford to live and thrive in, from young families to retirees. I'll put everyday Californians first.
But I can't do that if we lose this campaign. Right now, two MAGA Republicans are leading in the race, and a new poll shows that I'm the only Democrat who can beat them.
