California Donor Table

CDT partner California Environmental Justice Alliance (CEJA) Action released their 2020 primary voter guide, including their endorsements of Abigail Medina for SD23 and DeniAntionette Mazingo for AD42. CEJA Action was a key partner in CDT and V4P’s early endorsements of Abigail and Deni in August. They also endorsed Assemblymember Eloise Gomez Reyes in AD47, Assemblymember Shirley Weber in AD79 and Lorena Gonzalez in AD80, CDT-endorsed incumbents. 

California’s population nears the 40 million mark, but growth is slowing due to net outmigration to other states. Two of CDT’s priority regions -- the Central Valley and Inland Empire -- saw some of the greatest population growth in the last year.

Last month, CDT-endorsed Chesa Boudin was elected as San Francisco’s District Attorney (link is to an interview with Chesa from the Political Breakdown podcast). CDT partner SF Rising Action’s Director, Emily Lee, reflects on their voter engagement strategy in new majority communities and looks ahead to co-governing with Chesa.
