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.
There is more than one path to success in life. Some people may choose to go to college – but it’s getting more and more difficult to get into California schools, they can be outrageously expensive, and it’s increasingly difficult for students to find good paying jobs after they graduate.
Other people may choose the route of working in retail, or manufacturing, or the trades, but we don’t really have an adequate system for helping them with training and the skills they need to succeed. These are not hard problems to fix, and by fixing them, we would open the door to opportunity for generations of people to live middle class lives.
