JUST IN: Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco - the same sheriff who ignored Bonta's orders to stop a legal investigation - just endorsed me for California Attorney General.

When the sheriffs who stand up to Sacramento stand with you, you know you're doing something right.

THANK YOU Chad Bianco

Attorney General Bonta is suing Paramount out of California while Sacramento wages war on law-abiding citizens and small businesses, and Becerra is too busy to notice the incredible small businesses being destroyed by these failed policies.

On day one I will fight for every California business. #Gates4AG

About two dozen teens ransacked a Lincoln Heights convenience store, and LAPD told the owner shoplifting "isn't something they can really go after." Small business owners in California are being told there's nothing anyone will do. 

That's the real cost of Bonta’s soft-on-crime policies. #Gates4AG

Rob Bonta hasn't investigated the LA June primary despite voter fraud allegations swirling around the mayoral race. 

If he won't look into election concerns raised by Californians, why would anyone trust him to defend the new voter ID law, Prop 39, when it passes in November? #Gates4AG

Gavin Newsom promised to release his tax returns every year as governor. He hasn't released one since 2020.

Now, under federal investigation into his family's finances, he says he's "preparing" them, six years later, with no timeline. This is the transparency culture in Sacramento.

THIS is Rob Bonta’s California.

Yahya Muslim was arrested for attacking a 91-year-old in Oakland's Chinatown back in 2021. Now, five years later, he's charged with attacking two elderly Asian women in Oakland again. 

A known repeat offender, back on the streets, attacking the same vulnerable community. This is what happens without real accountability.

Children should be free to grow up and make important decisions when they’re mature enough to do so. 

I believe that parents, not schools should be at the center of these decisions.

Every day, Californians witness the human toll of untreated addiction playing out in real time on our streets. This isn't compassion, it's abandonment. 

As Attorney General, I'll fight for real treatment and real intervention, not policies that leave people to suffer alone.
