You not only got a lot of attention for a small-budget insurgent, you drew attention to vital causes and the possibility of solutions outside the stale, failing consensus on how to address them. In that respect you've already had a lot of impact so congratulations.
I don’t live in California and honestly never really cared about elections there, but after going to California twice in the past couple years I realized it’s a great state that is terribly run. I was rooting for you and I still am. Everyone is a leader. Keep setting a good example, telling the truth, and changing your state for the better.
I’m very sorry you didn’t win. I wouldn’t have congratulated the man, Newsom, that is intentionally destroying our beautiful state though.
I suspect California has been the testing ground for election fraud for sometime. In time we will no doubt start hearing about the anomalies that took place in this one.
I was so disappointed to see the results, Michael. But...your did so much, got so much accomplished in such a short time. I'm hoping this is just a beginning. What you have to say is important, and needs to be heard- regularly and by many more. I know you'll be staying active and I'm hoping I see you over the next year in many different forums talking sense about topics that our 'leaders' seem to not want to deal with in a realistic manner. You've built an awareness and a following that crosses traditional political lines. We need to hear more of Michael Shellenberger, not less. Get a well-deserved rest. Then...we look forward to hearing from you again. Stay well. And thank you for what you have done. And...California...Really? Another round of Gavin Newsom? One wonders how much abuse people can take before they see the light.
When I saw the statewide statistics on who voted for Gavin Newsom, I simply couldn't believe that nearly every county voted for him, considering how many people can't stand him, how he ruined so many lives during the past two years. Something isn't right.
I do not personally know anyone who likes Newsom or anyone who thought his reign as king is ok. I do not know anyone who thinks he is intelligent or thoughtful or really cares about anyone except himself. How can it be that he got all of these votes? It has to be fraud or 50% of my fellow Californians are idiots.
Nancy Pelosi doesn't even care about the fate of Asian Americans in her own district. She could care less about the majority of her constitutents. She did nothing while we were all struggling with a broken district attorney's office. It was discouraging to see the DA consistently fall back on lame excuses and not even *try* to make adjustments. Poor San Francisco, poor California.
I agree, but, it makes you wonder who else in San Francisco has the same objective. I'm sure he didn't just send in his resume. That being said, I think that a lot of voters didn't even know he was male. I mentioned in that same group that it should be a consideration that his family (including his step parents) weren't exactly in love with this country and I was told I shouldn't judge someone by their relatives. Keep an eye on Catherine Stefani -- she may be our next DA.
Sadly people were not ready to vote for an independent; even the SF Chronicle concedes that you were probably otherwise the most viable challenger to Newsom. Thank you for running, Michael!!! Can't wait to see what you do next!!!!
I hope he does. I've looked at his platform and he is much closer in certain values to Michael, even though he's a Republican. The Central Valley needs much better representation than Silicon Valley in this State.
We can't rely on that now, even though Michael is a better candidate all around. It's impractical to rely on the "R" word to make a decision. The important thing is getting Newsom out. He was a supervisor and mayor in San Francisco and only focused on the affluent classes and Silicon Valley, citizens be damned.
Thank you so much! You've accomplished more than you know! I'm in a progressive midwestern college town and I've been able to use your talking points to fight the insanity here. I donated to your campaign as a thank you and because your ideas are so important. Please don't give up. This country needs you! But you can take a week or two off...you deserve it ;-)
Oh No! Say it ain't so! Michael, you are the Great Hope for California. Is it really too much to ask that California have politicians who advocate for utterly rational policies that would show this state to be part of what America actually always stood for - responsive government that defines problems which adversely affect normality, civility and modernity and that works to correct a twisted culture of degradation that has been allowed flourish in iconic place-names in the name of political correctness?
"This is the end of a campaign and the beginning of a movement. " Count me in. This cannot be allowed to be buried under a meaningless barrage of political alternatives that will destroy everything California ever stood for.
2-What is the main thing you would do differently?
3-What would you have NOT learned or known had you NOT done this run? thanks...
I feel I too private and selfish a person to be a public servant; I truly hate 99% of all meetings, unless they happen at a bar or a picnic. I also hate moving about by alot transit unless it's my bike, for the most part, perhaps I am a tree, really. I do dance though. So I am always suprised there are humans that are willing to endure the grueling epic thing that is to run for office at this level and who wish to try to govern, whatever that really means in this age where surveillance has come to replace governance.
Well done. I have been a fan and a contributor, and I, like many others probably, am not a CA citizen. The problems you address are US problems. Keep it up.
Loved your run Michael. Big fan.
I live in NYC, but from CA and travel back and forth a lot. We need your voice and influence.
You not only got a lot of attention for a small-budget insurgent, you drew attention to vital causes and the possibility of solutions outside the stale, failing consensus on how to address them. In that respect you've already had a lot of impact so congratulations.

I'm a huge fan. Please keep the conversation going!

Absolutely. Gavin cheated. Audit the vote.
I do not know anyone who voted for that Feckless Treasonous WEF Dullard Sellout

It’s called cheating.
Perhaps people will now get behind auditing the votes.
I don’t know anyone who likes Gavin of Nancy

Yes. But that Communist weather underground, installed by Soros SF DA was recalled !
Yay

If a person follows in parents footsteps like Alexander Soros is, it matters.
Just like CB
Agreed. It just makes no sense.
🎯

A candle in the darkness. Thank you for lighting a match, Michael
You had my vote, if Newsome’s opponent is smart he would have you involved with his campaign.
I hope he does. I've looked at his platform and he is much closer in certain values to Michael, even though he's a Republican. The Central Valley needs much better representation than Silicon Valley in this State.
Michael would get us closer to victory over Newsome, no doubt
We can't rely on that now, even though Michael is a better candidate all around. It's impractical to rely on the "R" word to make a decision. The important thing is getting Newsom out. He was a supervisor and mayor in San Francisco and only focused on the affluent classes and Silicon Valley, citizens be damned.
No. Gavin like Trudue sold us out to the WEF.
If justice served.
Gavin should be arrested for treason
Seeing him lose the gubernatorial race in disgrace would be good enough for me.
Terrible disappointment. Hope was alive for a short time. Please stay in the quest for civilization. ❤️🌷❤️✌️✊
Sorry you lost the primary but as you say let’s not give up the fight. The status quo is killing California.
Thank you so much! You've accomplished more than you know! I'm in a progressive midwestern college town and I've been able to use your talking points to fight the insanity here.

Michael, 3 questions...
1-Was this your first run for office in any way?
2-What is the main thing you would do differently?
3-What would you have NOT learned or known had you NOT done this run? thanks...

You'll keep doing good work outside the Governor's Mansion!
