Sitting on the sidelines isn’t Matt Gunderson’s style. That’s why he’s running for California’s 38th State Senate District. California needs officeholders with real-world experience who aren’t afraid to say what they mean and act on it. In the State Senate, Gunderson will be a bipartisan problem solver, working with everyone to solve the challenges of our time including affordability, homelessness, crime, ensuring local control, and maintaining our quality of life.
For a number of years our homeless population has been surging. Letting people live and die in the streets isn’t compassionate. Letting people stay addicted to drugs or suffer with mental illness isn’t liberal. It seems like politicians hold another press conference every week, but at the end of the day their solutions are pie-in-the-sky dreams which never come to be, and which do nothing to actually help get our homeless of the streets, into the treatment and services they need, and which clean up the garbage and camps which have become open air drug markets. There are solutions that have worked. They aren’t easy, but just talking is making the situation worse.
