Real change — that's what California needs. And it's not going to come from an eccentric billionaire, a status quo politician, or a failed Fox News talking head.
But let me tell you what just happened:
Steve Hilton — the leading MAGA extremist in this race — is now spreading lies about San Jose. About the work we've done. About the results we've delivered. And here's the part that tells you everything you need to know about his character: not long ago, Steve Hilton was publicly praising the job I was doing as mayor.
Now that I'm surging in the polls and threatening his position in this race, he's attacking me with the same dishonest playbook he learned at Fox News.
That's exactly what is wrong with our politics.
The truth is this: San Jose is reducing unsheltered homelessness faster than any city in California. We've made it the safest big city in America. We've broken ground on thousands of new homes. That's not spin — that's a record Steve Hilton can't touch and can't honestly attack.
So he's lying instead.
I'm not going to let it go unanswered. But I need your help to fight back.
Can you chip in $25, $50, $100, or whatever you can today to help us set the record straight?
