Californians

[Mr.Bee]

You think it will be great to have a billionaire hedge fund chief govern California?
What is this, 2016?
Not repeating mistakes.
Not me.

1. Ditto

We already have a rich out of touch guy leading the country and it’s a disaster! These rich guys have no idea of what real Americans are experiencing.

NO rich out of touch billionaire with no legislative/governing experience as governor or of California !

[Mr.Bee]

2. I used to work down the hall

within earshot of the millionaire CEO's phone and his conversations when he thought no one was listening...
It's enough to make you say, 'Never!'

3. I'm not surprised I used to work in the finance industry and met some of these type of men and they were

All jerks.

4. Ugghh. I know. He's got endorsements from Bernie Sanders, Ro Khanna, and more

He's being endorsed by some good, progressive organizations related to the environment/climate, housing.

I'm wary of another billionaire too.

I like Xavier Bacerra... he has the experience.

The Los Angeles Mayor race too... I'm underwhelmed by all of them.

[Mr.Bee]

7. It's HOW he made his billions

People don't become billionaires by being nice.
He made his estimated $1.5 billion to $2.4 billion fortune by founding and running Farallon Capital, a San Francisco-based hedge fund that grew into one of the most profitable in the U.S.. He specialized in high-risk, multi-strategy investments—including distressed assets, private equity, and foreign bank acquisitions—before cashing out in 2012 to focus on climate advocacy and politics.
Even David Koch donated to Nova and PBS and wanted to do everything trump is now doing to the American people.
trump was a Democrat before he was a Republicant.
It doesn't matter if you have a 'D' or an 'R' after your name.
Follow the wealth!

6. Illinois elected a billionaire to be Governor.

His name is JB Pritzker, and he's actually pretty good at the job.

I'm just saying, it depends on the guy.

[Mr.Bee]

11. "This election is about who you can trust to fight for you"

“One candidate is a billionaire who got rich off polluters and ICE prisons and is now using that money to fund his election.”
former Rep. Katie Porter said during an April 22 gubernatorial debate in San Francisco.

9. I trust Bernie's judgment.

[Mr.Bee]

12. Won't Get Fooled Again

Our team on the left is now our team on the right.

10. We've Seen Her In Action

You Know What You're Getting

The next governor of California must be a Democrat.
For us, that person is former Rep. Katie Porter.
The majority of our board believes that Porter has the intellect, the understanding of the issues, the ability to communicate, see the big picture, and the boldness to fight the monied interests who need to be fought. She has the singular ability to uplift Californians struggling with how expensive and exclusive this state has become.

We also believe that it is time that California elects its first woman governor, after nearly 180 years of electing men.
