Ro Khanna endorses Tom Steyer for Governor in new TV ad

[Sibelius Fan]

I was surprised, but there it is.

Ad also says Steyer mentions the CA Nurses Assoc endorsement.

Tom Steyer’s 2026 California gubernatorial campaign has secured key endorsements from progressive labor unions, environmental groups, and Democratic officials, highlighting his platform of taxing corporations, single-payer health care, and climate action. Major backers include the United Domestic Workers (UDW/AFSCME Local 3930), California Nurses Association, and Rep. Ro Khanna.

Key Endorsements for Tom Steyer (2026 Campaign):
Labor Unions: United Domestic Workers (UDW/AFSCME Local 3930), California Nurses Association (CNA), and California School Employees Association.
Officials & Politicians: Rep. Ro Khanna (CA-17), State Senator Henry Stern, Assembly Member Alex Lee (Legislative Progressive Caucus Chair), Assembly Members Isaac Bryan, Gregg Hart, Ash Kalra, and Rick Zbur.
Organizations: California Environmental Voters, Climate Center Action Fund, and NRDC Action Fund.
These endorsements emphasize Steyer's focus on progressive policies, such as pushing for "CalCare" (single-payer healthcare) and closing corporate tax loopholes.

2. Damn, Ro. I am REALLY disappointed.

I just hope the Dems--some Dem(s) can pull off this jungle primary and not give the governorship to the R's. There IS reason to worry.

3. It's disappointing that at least some of the Democratic

Candidates can't pit their egos aside and drop out. As has been said, Republicans don't win elections, Democrats lose them.

5. You need to name the candidates you think should drop out.

Not doing so sort of disses even the candidates with a real chance.

4. I haven't trusted Ro Kahnna

He’s done a lot of good and says a lot of the right things, but I just can’t get away from the fact that he’s a Silicon Valley bro. So is Tom Steyer, of course, so I guess that connection plays into it. I definitely don’t trust him.

6. Seriously?

He has ads running on tv every 15 minutes.

Also...

... billionaire

7. Not so surprising: they're both Tech Bros

I want Swalwell.

8. I didn't like how Khanna went negative against Mike Honda

It was viscous and ugly, and reflected very poorly on his character in my view. I don't like seeing Democrats attack other Democrats with negative campaigns. That's what turned me off to Katie Porter.

I don't trust billionaires, and I would never vote for one if I had another choice. Khanna endorsing Steyer doesn't help my opinion of him.

I like Eric Swalwell, I hope he wins. I just loved how he confronted Kevin McCarthy!
