A proven leader with a record of delivering for working families, Becerra has consistently fought to expand opportunity, protect immigrant communities, and defend Californians’ rights and freedoms.
We are confident these leaders will champion policies that uplift Latino families, strengthen our neighborhoods, and advance Avance’s mission to build enduring Latino political power.
Xavier Becerra has demonstrated a deep and sustained commitment to improving access to care, protecting patients and supporting physicians throughout his career in public service. As our healthcare system faces mounting pressures, Xavier Becerra brings the leadership and experience needed to navigate complex issues and protect California communities.
Secretary Becerra’s commitment to underserved communities throughout his career will ensure that community health centers and clinics can advance our mission of minimizing barriers to health care access in California.
California Professional Firefighters recommends candidates based on where they stand on firefighter issues: Public safety funding, job and retirement security, health and safety on the job.
Xavier Bacerra has proven throughout his career that he is a union ally who understands that hard-working men and women should be given every opportunity to secure jobs that pay them a fair wage to support themselves and their families and plan for a secure future. He brings a history of supporting labor unions while his competitors have unfairly blamed unions for rising costs.
The CHIRLA Action Fund was founded in 2009 to advance the rights of immigrants at the local, state and federal level by supporting candidates, legislation and ballot initiatives that create a just society, fully inclusive of immigrants.
At a time when LGBTQ+ people are facing coordinated attacks across the country, California needs a governor who has not only spoken out, but taken action to defend our community. From standing up to Donald Trump in court, to affirming that transgender healthcare is medically necessary at the highest levels of our nation’s health system, Xavier Becerra has used all of his positions of power to defend our community’s rights and dignity.
Xavier Becerra is not only the most qualified candidate in this race — he is the candidate whose life, record, and values most completely embody everything HONOR PAC has fought for since our founding. This endorsement is not just about politics. It is about the soul of California and the safety, dignity, and future of every LGBTQ+ Latina/o/e person who calls this state home.
LA Progressive is an independent, justice-driven publication amplifying the voices, struggles, and triumphs of those working toward a more equitable America.
As California continues to weather attacks by a hostile Trump administration hell bent on restricting our freedoms, we need a decisive, experienced leader who will fight to protect California communities, their constitutional rights, and their access to essential health care.
To achieve our UnRig California agenda – protecting our communities from Trump’s cruel and reckless HR1 and restoring people power in place of corporate power – we’ll need a courageous and committed partner in the Governor’s Office. The 750,000 working people of SEIU California know Xavier Becerra and Tom Steyer are ready to stand by us.
As California’s former Attorney General and former U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services, Becerra has spent his career fighting for workers, expanding healthcare access, and holding corporations accountable. He has been a consistent advocate for labor rights, minimum wage increases, and protections for workers across industries.
UNAC/UHCP represents 40,000-plus health care professionals in leading facilities across California and Hawaii, fighting for fair wages, safe staffing levels, and the highest standards of patient care.

Climate Advocate
ENDORSEMENTS:
Abundant Housing LA Americans for Democratic Action, Southern CaliforniaAmericans for Democratic Action is a nationwide, multi-issue progressive/Left organization that was founded by Eleanor Roosevelt in 1947. We are working on supporting and electing progressive candidates who will put the needs of their constituents ahead of corporate donors.
We highly encourage voters to not cast a protest vote, as the stakes are incredibly high and the chance of the top two candidates both being Republicans is still very real…. [T]he most progressive of the current viable candidates for governor is Tom Steyer. Time will tell whether he’s truly a class traitor.
California Environmental Voters is committed to recruiting, training, and endorsing bold, pro-environment candidates — up and down the ballot — who will fight for climate justice and equity.
As rising costs-of-living push educators and classified professionals out of the communities we serve, Tom Steyer has put forward a plan to bring in sustainable, long term revenue to our schools. His proposal would allow districts to hire more educators to bring down classroom sizes, strengthen pay and benefits to retain staff and attract new talent, and sustain funding to ensure every California student receives the education they deserve.
Nurses have been fighting to win guaranteed, single-payer health care for decades: at the state level with CalCare, and at the federal level with Medicare for All. Tom Steyer stands with us in that fight. He understands incrementalism won’t work. With Steyer as governor, California can continue leading the way on enacting progressive policies that protect public health and safety.
Steyer has promised to reform Proposition 13 to ensure that corporations pay their fair share in California. He’s been a champion for holding corporations accountable and closing the corporate tax loopholes that leave hardworking Californians behind and our essential public services without vital revenue to benefit the wealthy few.
Tom Steyer is the champion our state needs to protect the air we breathe, the water we drink, and the precious wildlife we cherish. With Steyer as governor, California can lead the world to a clean, affordable energy future while making polluters pay for their climate damage.
We believe that Steyer will lead a just transition from fossil-fuel dependence toward an equitable, low-carbon future where all Californians can enjoy clean air, good health, and a stable climate.
[Katie Porter and Tom Steyer] were well-versed on consumer protection issues and had concrete proposals to help consumers given that affordability issues squeeze Californians each day. CFC doesn’t usually endorse more than one candidate but given the fluid nature of California’s Governor race and the quality of these two candidates, we felt it was warranted here.
Courage California (formerly Courage Campaign) believes that California must be a beacon of progressive, equitable, and truly representative democracy.
So it’s Steyer then, as disgusted as we might feel about another oligarch governor. His commitment to environmentalism is genuine, he supports single-payer healthcare, he backs the billionaire tax, he’s unafraid to say that ICE should be abolished and that they should be prosecuted under state law for their crimes.
CNA is committed to building a broad movement for transformative social change and confronting the powerful interests that dominate our economic and political system. We are proud to support congressional, state, and local candidates and initiatives that share nurses’ values of caring, compassion, and community.
Averting dangerous climate change, supporting healthy people and thriving communities, and conserving and protecting nature and wildlife.
Tom Steyer has stepped forward with a platform that is clearly aligned with the priorities of our movement — single-payer healthcare, taxing extreme wealth, bold climate action, and getting money out of politics.
PG&E is spending $10 million to defeat him. We can’t think of a better reason to support a candidate. So, with all of our usual caveats (rich people can promise whatever they want, and Newsom’s betrayal on health care is a case in point), the best of the candidates is Steyer, and he has our support.
The primary for Governor is a clown car filled with seven mediocre Democrats and two scary Republicans. Because there’s a real chance both slots for the November election could go to Republicans, we urge you to vote strategically. We skipped over some long-shot progressive candidates in favor of a progressive-enough candidate who has the best shot at beating the corporate Democrats now, and winning in November. We’re going with Tom Steyer: the straight, white billionaire boomer who’s juuuuust progressive enough.
To achieve our UnRig California agenda – protecting our communities from Trump’s cruel and reckless HR1 and restoring people power in place of corporate power – we’ll need a courageous and committed partner in the Governor’s Office. The 750,000 working people of SEIU California know Xavier Becerra and Tom Steyer are ready to stand by us.
We urge you to consider the environment when you vote. Only by electing candidates who share the view of the Sierra Club on the importance of the protection of the environment can we make our state the model for the rest of the nation.
At a moment when Californians are facing rising costs, experiencing firsthand the worsening impacts of the climate crisis, and seeing continued attacks on environmental safeguards, we need leadership that is willing to take on entrenched interests and deliver bold action.
Steyer is an outsider who appears willing to challenge the transportation status quo by tackling the highway lobby and fossil-fuel industry. He has a strong climate record and his takes on housing and transportation align with Streets For All’s values and policy goals.
Steyer’s range of housing policies set him apart from the rest of the field. He has committed to eliminating single-family zoning statewide, expanding by-right approvals, and upzoning around transit.

Our endorsement is based on Katie Porter’s commitment to improve the lives of California’s working families and reflects her leadership, integrity, and unwavering commitment to defending democracy.
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.
Unlike our current governor, we believe Porter would be laser-focused on Californians, not on her next job. Her combination of policy smarts, political courage and independence puts her in the best position to pursue the evidence-based solutions California needs to thrive.
