“She has done excellent things for Richmond–including supporting our non-profit Weigh of Life with aerobic exercise and nutrition classes for low income ethnically diverse populations. She has also supported Rent Control and was a strong proponent for a soda tax when Richmond was the first city in the country to have that on the ballot!”

Jeanne Kortz, Richmond

“She is one the most honest politicians in the United States. She doesn’t take corporate money and is not beholden to large corporations. She works for me and for you because she doesn’t take campaign donations from the fossil fuel industry the pharmaceutical industry the banks and other corporations . She helped turn the city of Richmond into a much more desirable city and made it one of the most progressive cities in the country. She works hard is tireless and is very dedicated to doing what is best for working people. She cares about the environment she want’s to build more low income housing so people can afford to live in California and she was instrumental in helping to pass rent control in Richmond which allows low income people to stay in their homes. I wholeheartedly endorse Gayle McLaughlin. She will make the best Lt. Governor for the State of California!”

Susan Elizabeth Vaughan, San Francisco

“I support this platform. I would add: 1) Repeal of the Ellis Act and Costa Hawkins; and 2) Repeal or amendment of the Legislative Open Records Act which is a misnomer — LORA protects the communications of state lawmakers with lobbyists and others. Those communications need to be sunshined”
