"None of the declared candidates have offered a clear and compelling vision for the state, Mahan, 43, said in a phone interview from Sacramento. California, he said, needs bold and independent leadership, particularly on homelessness. I see business as usual in Sacramento, said Mahan, who was at the Capitol advocating for reforms aimed at making housing more affordable. I don't see anyone acting like it's a crisis."
"In a statement, Bonta, a former Alameda city council member and state Assembly member, said the calls have sharpened my focus and reminded me how grateful I am to work with so many who care so deeply for this state, but added, My resolve is firm: our fight against corporate greed and vicious attacks from Washington requires a leader with battle-tested experience in the courtroom."
Matt Mahan is reconsidering his political future and could enter California's crowded governor's race, arguing the field lacks a clear front-runner and vision. He calls for bold, independent leadership and treats homelessness as a crisis needing urgent action. Mahan criticized Sacramento as offering business as usual while advocating housing affordability reforms at the Capitol. Attorney General Rob Bonta announced he will not run and will seek reelection, citing his courtroom experience and ongoing legal battles with the Trump administration. If Mahan runs, he would join an open-seat contest with many undecided voters and low-polling candidates.
