"California doesn't need a governor who wins a two-hour TV show. We need a leader who can fix the budget, steady our economy and make government actually work. I was at the debate. Six men thought the job description includes mansplaining, not being the best-prepared steward of a $300 billion budget. The men on stage were eager to interrupt, lecture and score points. Meanwhile, only one candidate has already managed the state's books, uncovered waste and abuse, and protected pensions for millions of Californians:"
"Jill Stegman clearly highlights real challenges facing California's public school populations. But by insisting that test scores won't rise until societal issues are fixed, she does a disservice to students. Some schools are beating the odds with the populations they serve. Some districts are shrinking achievement gaps. The data is out there. Curriculum and teaching does matter. In the case of literacy, adopting evidence-based approaches can lead to gains even for students facing multiple challenges in the Central Valley."
California needs a governor who can fix the budget, steady the economy, and make government actually work rather than prioritize televised performance. Six male debate participants emphasized interruptions, lecturing, and point-scoring rather than stewardship of a $300 billion budget. Betty Yee has managed state finances, uncovered waste and abuse, and protected pensions for millions, demonstrating preparedness and solution focus. In education, evidence-based curriculum and teaching methods can raise literacy and math achievement even for students facing multiple challenges. Some schools and districts are already closing gaps through data-driven instruction and early intervention, but those successes remain uneven and inconsistently deployed statewide.
