Get StartedWe will back law enforcement with better pay, training, and tools while holding violent and repeat offenders accountable. We will dramatically expand mental health beds and proven early intervention programs for at risk youth. The focus will always be protecting the innocent first, while offering genuine paths to redemption for those willing to take responsibility and change. Learn more
We will enact the California Family Renewal Act, a bold, comprehensive strategy to make California the best state in America to fall in love, get married, and raise a family. Learn more
AI will displace hundreds of thousands of jobs. We will face this reality head on. California will declare itself the worlds first Human First AI State. Companies replacing large numbers of workers with AI must first offer those workers ownership stakes, retraining into new roles, or fair severance tied to the profits the AI generates. Those that keep humans at the center will receive major tax incentives and fast permits. Learn more
Californias greatest crisis is not housing, crime, or even the cost of living. It is the quiet collapse of the family. Too many young people no longer believe they can afford to get married and have children. We will change that. Learn more
AI will serve as a personal tutor for every child. Teachers will become highly paid mentors. Every high school senior will complete a Senior Creation Project, a real business, invention, artwork, or community initiative they build and present. Success will be measured by what students create and achieve, not just test scores. Learn more
We will launch California Reborn, an ambitious, decade long initiative to: Plant 100 million native trees (with a special focus on restoring and expanding old growth redwood forests) while rewilding degraded landscapes into resilient, carbon rich ecosystems. Fully restore major watersheds and coastal wetlands, turning them into powerful blue carbon sinks and revive salmon runs. Dramatically expand public access with new family friendly trails, wilderness gateways, and Creation Parks, so every California family, especially those in cities, can experience the wonder and healing power of nature.

Californias housing crisis stems from too little supply and too much red tape. We will make large blocks of state and surplus land available at discounts for working families to build or buy homes. Red tape will be slashed with AI powered, objective permitting targeting approvals in 30 to 60 days. Learn more
Building on the recent 9 percent reduction in unsheltered homelessness, we will treat the remaining crisis with urgency, heart, and accountability. Every empty state building and underused property will be converted into immediate housing. Learn more
We will launch Community HOLD Homes: California families and individuals with spare rooms will receive a strong monthly stipend (900 to 3200 dollars) plus support services to welcome someone in need. Each participant will be paired with a paid mentor or coach for recovery, mental health, job training, and rebuilding life. We will enforce laws against dangerous encampments while prioritizing voluntary pathways to stability. Learn more
We will phase out the state income tax for working and middle class families and move the property tax system toward a simple, predictable flat fee based only on the physical size and basic use of the property, rather than ever rising assessed values that punish people for improving their homes. Learn more
As Governor, my first official act will be to introduce the HOLD Amendment to the California Constitution and immediately launch the Truth Budget Dashboard. This will be a transparent real time public online tool that tracks every major state spending item, its actual outcomes, and waste metrics. Learn more
