(BURLINGAME): CTA President David Goldberg released the following statement regarding the California gubernatorial election:

“Today our democratically elected board voted to recommend Tom Steyer in California’s 2026 gubernatorial primary. Steyer has promised to reform Proposition 13 to ensure that corporations pay their fair share in California. He’s been a champion for holding corporations accountable and closing the corporate tax loopholes that leave hardworking Californians behind and our essential public services without vital revenue to benefit the wealthy few. He also walked the picket lines with educators on strike in San Francisco earlier this year showing a depth of commitment to educator unions we expect from all elected leaders. ”

“California is the fourth largest economy in the world. We deserve a Governor who has the courage to hold corporations accountable, tackle the affordability crisis, and ensure California students and communities have access to quality public schools.”
