How Matt Mahan Thinks He Can Save California
Matt Mahan, Chamath, Jason, Friedberg, David
San Jose Mayor Matt Mahan entered the California gubernatorial race to challenge the state's fiscal dysfunction by contrasting his record of managing local budgets with the revenue-focused strategies of opponents like Eric Swalwell and Tom Steyer.

Mahan argues that California's high taxes and regulatory environment have failed to improve key metrics in safety and housing, positioning his administration as a pragmatic alternative that utilizes data dashboards and specific operational reforms to restore economic competitiveness.

John Fetterman: 'I'm the Only Democrat in Congress Saying This'
John Fetterman, David Friedberg
