Trump’s budget cuts are gutting critical services in San Francisco, but this June we can fight back. I’m supporting the Overpaid CEO Act to make executives pay their fair share and fund public health, housing, and safety so working people aren’t stuck footing the bill.

Congrats Mayor Mamdani! Zohran proved it doesn’t matter how much money they throw at you. Organized people beat organized money if you stand for real change. We’re doing that in SF. 2k+ volunteers have knocked 40k+ doors because our campaign is about bold change. Join us!

No matter what the result is tonight, I’m so proud of what we’ve built together. Being a part of a team like this is really a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and I’m never going to forget it. Looking forward to continuing this fight with you all, to November and beyond.

The campaign has ended, but the mission remains. We must wrest control of our country away from the corporations and back into the hands of people. And the only force capable of doing that is a movement of people unlike any we have seen in generations. Thank you to everyone who volunteered and supported this campaign, to all the young people who got involved in politics for the first time through this campaign, and I hope you will stay in this fight with me.

We need a four-day workweek. The five-day workweek didn’t come from CEOs. It came from workers organizing and legislators protecting those workers. As AI reshapes work, we need stronger unions and legislation to distribute the gains of this technology across society.

I'm proud to back Connie Chan for Congress to represent San Francisco and plan to do everything I can to help her win. She is the only candidate in this race who takes no corporate money, who supports a wealth tax on billionaires, and who will vote to end all military aid to Israel - offensive and defensive. We must break the stranglehold of corporate money in Congress, and Connie will be a part of the movement to do exactly that.

ICE is murdering people. And they will only murder more. RIP Alex Pretti. Abolish ICE.

The AI lobby has entered our race to bankroll my opponent, Scott Wiener. That's because he worked with them to water down AI regulations in California. As his reward, he gets a huge super PAC. I'm not taking any corporate PAC or lobbyist money, and in Congress, I’m going to end this kind of legalized bribery. AI oligarchs want to control your future. I will fight to put people back in control.

It’s becoming clearer and clearer that AIPAC is doing everything they can to keep me out of the top two & secure a win for Scott Wiener in November. First we heard reports that an AIPAC affiliated group is dumping $475k into this race at the last minute to keep me out of the general. And now, according to multiple sources, a pro-Israel donor said Scott Wiener admitted to lying about his stance on the genocide in Gaza for political points. Scott will say and do anything to get into office, and so will the AIPAC lobby that’s backing him. In a general head-to-head, I'm tied with Scott Wiener in the polls, which means we could win this in November and send someone to Congress that will actually fight to end AIPAC and corporate money in our politics. The era of corporate Democrats that lie to voters is over. San Francisco, make sure you vote on June 2nd.
