Family, Friends, Neighbors and Colleagues,

Elizabeth and I would like to share that I am now officially running for the California State Senate in the 2026 election. Our current Senator, Mike McGuire, has been a shining star for our community and our state. Now that he is term-limited, and headed for another leadership position, I seek to pick up where he leaves off.
I’m doing this because we need bold action and a different trajectory to confront and fix California’s problems. No half-measures, no nibbling around the edges: I’m all in.
The campaign will be challenging: The district includes a million people and runs from the Golden Gate to the Oregon Border, so I’m gonna need your support. Please donate today (click here) and visit our new website to learn more about the campaign.
Together in Service,
James Gore
